indigenous units

[vadereclipse]

are there going to be any?
if so, what units will there be?

[Slornie]

By indigenous, you mean the population on the maps (like Ewoks, Jawas, etc)?  Or units that can only be produced on their planet of origin (like Wookiee Warriors, etc)?

For what its worth, here are the past threads:

The only new indigenous units in R1 will be Chiss Civilians on some EotH planets, Eickarie on Kariek and Kath Hounds on Dantooine. R2 and R3 will add several more on different planets, though.

I hate indigenous forces anyways, seeing as they're only cannon fodder at the best

[grandadmiralbeck]

actually, sometimes i find them quite useful on certain occasions.

[siegfried1]

Yeah, every once and awhile they're useful on Kuat, because they can capture the reinforcement point easily, but otherwise....

What about gungans and wookiees, they are not cannon fodder

[siegfried1]

You're right about the Wookies, but Gungans?!?!?!?!?!?

[vadereclipse]

wookiees and geonosians are useful. mandalorians would be if not hostile.
geos are by health, the weakest units in game, but in numbers and weapons come in handy.
also, any unit is useful for capturing the RPs and buildpads.

[ARC-Trooper57]

Gungans dont have good health but their boomas are great for anti-infantry

[Delta 07]

will the mandalorians side wqith anyone in this game?

[siegfried1]

maybe they could be hirable using something like the blackmarket thing where you drag a certain hero onto Mandalore and you could purchase the Mandalorians allegiance for a certain amount of credits seeing as they relly didn't have an allegiance to anyone.

[vadereclipse]

Well, i read that Fenn shysha is a rebel hero, so i guess it's rebels.

[Corey]

The Empire was oppressing Mandalore, and Leia helped the Mandalorians drive off the Empire, so the Mandalorians under Fenn Shysa started fighting the Empire. Fenn will be a Rebel hero, and when he's at Mandalore he can recruit Mandalorians.

[vadereclipse]

thanks for clearing that up.
will it be mandalorian  protectors he recruits? to my knowledge it was really just fenn shysha, tobi dala and goran Beviin keeoping the mandalorians together during the GCW.

[siegfried1]

I like that Arb, that'll probably make me play as the Rebels more than never.

I agree.Indigenous units need a serious upgrade, they're nothing but a minor annoyance.Honestly, if they're there, they should be a threat.

[vadereclipse]

they're fine as they are. and there are some very powerful indigenous units, such as Geonosians (absolutely destroy unshielded vehicles like SPMA-Ts) and wookiees and Mandalorians. While the human/hutt/twi'leks/Gungans/Ewoks are weak, some are very powerful. they have to be weaker than you, really. it's the way of the game. they are not much of a problem as AI, but they can be useful when you use them for other uses, such as building turrets when there are none of your infantry nearby, and acting as a diversion, or buying you a little time.

AKA despensable and cannon fodder
