I've always wanted to do a Let's Play...

Does the EOTH already have a transport unit of any kind?

Revanchist · « **Reply #102 on:** May 28, 2013, 09:33:07 PM »

Not that I know of.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #103 on:** May 28, 2013, 09:49:58 PM »

I have noticed that, I always assumed a transport was in the works for them

Singularity · « **Reply #104 on:** May 29, 2013, 08:51:17 PM »

They could also do with a few more infantry types (Plex, Specialist etc..).

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #105 on:** May 29, 2013, 10:16:22 PM »

I think the EotH has plex in the form of the rocket scouts

Singularity · « **Reply #106 on:** May 30, 2013, 11:50:13 AM »

Ah okay, I just assumed they were like scout troopers and didn't use them that much.

I think that infantry has never been relevant in ground attacks since they get killed fast, ground attack is bascially having the biggest thing you can buy and attack. I know it's imposible since there are no infranty makes/animators right now but the game should have more focus on infantry

That's something inherent to EaW unless you want to make them the unstoppable individual units of CnC, in which case they're no longer infantry, they're just tanks with a different look. You can still do a lot with them if you use them properly (capturing points, taking down larger vehicles with micromanagement; they're the ONLY essential unit for every ground force and they're more versatile than everything else already) but this isn't like Company of Heroes where infantry are able to actually interact with things.

I have discovered through modding the mod (I couldn't resist!) that giving basic infantry a slight range buff makes them more versatile while not going too far into super-soldier territory. I have also found that trying to fix the horribly broken land combat of EAW is like attempting to swim in a vat of cement. Its arduous and painful, and in the end you'll probably wish you hadn't bothered.

That said, I think the team has done a great job of making this part of the game actually enjoyable.

Maybe, still it's very dangerous to use them since one mistake can make you loose all your batallion. And belive me, with the AT-AT I can have infinite infrantry wich in my opinion shouldn't happen becuase then common infrantry becomes completly unnecesary because you have two in one. a massive AT-AT attack can't be stopped, even if you have turbolasers

tlmiller · « **Reply #111 on:** May 30, 2013, 11:22:25 PM »

Turbolasers with MPTL's will destroy more than their share of AT-AT's. Doubly so with AT-AT stupidity of refusing to walk side by side and instead demanding to walk single file.

That's because you're not allowed to cut in line.

I beg to differ, an invasion by the EotH with Chiss commandoes...is a nightmare. They die easily but not before they get off those accursed detonators...and bam 10 dead ATSTs or one horribly damaged ATAT...

Singularity · « **Reply #114 on:** May 31, 2013, 07:30:19 AM »

They're absolutely essential to ground defense though, due to build pads.

Senza · « **Reply #115 on:** May 31, 2013, 01:04:28 PM »

The rocket scout is the best thing ever, too, since it can capture reinforcement points and build pads..

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #116 on:** June 01, 2013, 05:24:23 AM »

in addition to having more punch while still maintaining speed

Senza · « **Reply #117 on:** June 01, 2013, 01:40:01 PM »

Indeed.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #118 on:** June 02, 2013, 03:51:38 AM »

All things considered, the EotH is the most nightmarish to fight on the ground, their tanks, commandoes and Airstraekers can tear through most units like tissue paper.

Eclipse · « **Reply #119 on:** June 02, 2013, 09:26:29 AM »

The EoTH is the most nightmarish in both ground and space. They always attack you with 10 phalanx at least. Not even two SSD can hold agains that. The airstraekers will always be the most annoying flying thing.
