indigenous units

[Rend_and_Maim]

Hutts are the biggest joke of an indigenous force in the game. They are slow, weak, and their blasters fire slowly and are little more then peashooters. Hell, they mine as well throw those guns and it would probably do more damage. But Hutts are supposed to be hostile to BOTH factions, which they more then deserve to be stronger, they should be able to do some damage, not just slow the invading faction down for like 3-4 minutes giving the defenders enough time to set up defenses. I forgot where I read this, but you could not only upgrade the Hutt's blasters some, maybe increase the rate of attack of them, but give them a TON of health. Eh?

[vadereclipse]

agreed. i always thought the hutts should be more powerful.

[Slornie]

Yeah, now i think on it, the Hutts are pretty weak.  I mean, they're supposed to be hard to kill with blasters due to their thick skin, etc.

[vadereclipse]

and being part of a criminal empire rivalling the empire for size it should have stronger civilians.

[Rend_and_Maim]

Hutts were also good at manipulating others, so maybe their hutt places could spawn various pirate troops and skiffs occasionally? Would add a little variety, the same could be done on Tatooine too.

[vadereclipse]

tatooine should have a hutt colony in the north/north-east.
sounds too much like black sun, your idea, rend. however, if they were just to make the oversized slugs more powerful...
come to think of it, the Hutt Commando unit of the Black sun in FOC was pretty powerful.

Tatooine already has way too many indigs.

[vadereclipse]

true. Jawas, hutts, tuskens, sarlacc, rancor...

[Rend_and_Maim]

Never seen any Tuskens ever before on Tatooine in FoC. Strange.. And yes it does sound black sunish, but they have the only pirate units in the game. The Hutt's had criminal empires, which was not a full time galatic empire, they used manipulation to control planets through local governments or corrupt officials, so I thought it would be a good idea to have mini Hutt pirate bases on planets like Nal'hutta, Tatooine, etc. It wouldn't be very powerful but enough to contest it for both the defenders and invaders.

[vadereclipse]

you can always add pirate units.
For example, Warb_Null has made many great models.

[Rend_and_Maim]

Got a link for then? 

[Slornie]

They're in the bottom left corner IIRC?

[Rend_and_Maim]

I've never fought them before.. I've seen them in the picture before the battle though if that counts for anything.

[vadereclipse]

they were cut from FOC.
don't know why. they were powerful, but they fired too slow.

here's a link to the thread he has:

He's done quite a lot of good-looking models.

Oh yeah, they changed the Tatooine map between EAW and FoC didnt they.  I never understood the point in that..

me neither. the Raiders had powerful weapons, but their rate of fire was so slow it balanced it.

[Slornie]

I remember back when the demo for EAW was released, people modded it so you could play more of the GC (rather than just Hoth, Vergesso and Tatooine), they put the Tatooine map on all the other planets
