I think he means the wreckage of the AT-AT that the Gargantuan just owned...

The first picture is a bunch of dead infantry, the Gargantuan and some ATAT's.

Hi Farseer, First, awesome stuff. Second may I inquire about these new droids for the mandolorians?

Thanks. Here's the wookipedia page for them:

They aren't a major droid class...very few of them left by the NR era but I put them in anyways; the Mandos could have just built more

Hi Farseer
Are you going to use the AT-AT improvments which you told me about in Filefront?
I can't see anything about changes to the AT-AT in your changes list.
Thanks

Why are Mandalorian infantry only slightly better than regular infantry? Since this isn't the LotJ era they don't have access to Verpine tech or the beskar recovered after the Yuuzzhan Vong attack on Mandalore, but Mandalorians are still the toughest and best-armored infantry out there, and your average Mandalorian is probably carrying the biggest and best weapons they can.

Balance. Plain and simple. Mowing over other infantry with a single squad of Mando's isn't my idea of good gameplay. They do deserve to be a bit stronger, however. The biggest and baddest guns mean nothing if not wielded by the right person> That said, Mandalorians train from childhood to fight but Stormtroopers and NR Infantry are skilled too; not just cannon fodder.

Well, Stormtroopers have full-body armor and blaster carbines, so they are well-equipped and would do decently against Mandos, not counting their most likely grueling training. I'm not so sure about the NR infantry though, as they seem to have inferior training and equipment.

My same thoughts about the Stormies. As for NR, they are more varied, for sure as they generally accept volunteers whereas most Stormies are chosen via the academy and Mandos just fight by nature. However, they do have many commando units that operate quite efficiently against most adversaries. NR troops also wear light armor, in many cases...not as extensive as Mandos or Stormies but it's better than none. I am planning on adding heavy infantry to the NR though...so maybe I should dumb down their main infantry a bit and just add more of them to a squad.

Anything new?

Anything new?

Yep. Mod is almost done. I posted the most recent Changelog on page 1 so take a look.
