http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Acklay
"The acklay was a large, nonsentient creature native to the oceans of Vendaxa. Its physical appearance made it a natural predator, with six sharp claws and an aggressive attitude. As such, it was commonly found in gladiatorial arenas on different worlds in the Outer Rim Territories. One world where acklays were present was Geonosis, where they fought in the Petranaki Arena. However, some escaped and managed to survive in the Geonosian deserts despite their native aquatic environment. An acklay was used in the attempted execution of the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in 22 BBY, but was killed by Kenobi. Acklays were also present on Felucia, where they attacked the 501st Legion during the Battle of Felucia, only to be wiped out by the clone troopers."

If possible could we have Acklay on Geonosis and Felucia as Indigineous creatures?

makes sense to have it!

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #2 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:01 am »

it would be nice to see some hostile indigenous units? staff? input?

Doro · « **Reply #3 on:** August 22, 2008, 12:03 am »

V2 maybe, we have been talking about Indigineous factions

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #4 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:12 am »

Ah now this I would love to see on felucia

D · « **Reply #5 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:20 am »

they would be like the rancors on the dathomir mission in teh ZC campaign

Sergeant Lyeman · « **Reply #6 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:27 am »

yeah, perhaps faster but a bit less powerful?

aceofhicks · « **Reply #7 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:38 am »

of course!

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #8 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:02 am »

Quite so. It would be a nice challenge added to capturing the planet, having Acklay speed after your forces. However, don't make them as uber as in BFII's campaign; that would be terrible.

D · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:20 am »

But if you think about it seriously....a single volley from an AT-AT should vaporize those things.

After all Obi-dude lopped off its legs with relative ease

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:33 am »

Maybe even less than that. Perhaps maybe about 5 shots from an AT-ST. You should be able to put them down easily enough that it makes it fun to battle them, but not so that they're like tissue paper

D · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:30 am »

oh i know power, for the game they should take some damage before going down.

but "in-universe" an AT-AT main cannons could blow up buildings, and could vaporize aklay like tissue paper

Emperor Onasi · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:31 am »

I like this idea....but don't make them too overpowered please

Solar · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:20 am »

you people have no faith at all do you?

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:25 pm »

It just wasn't too fun to fight them in BFII, so we're trying to make sure we don't end up losing half of our army to a group of Acklay.

Quantum Rain · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2008, 06:44 pm »

It would be intresting to see it in-game.

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #16 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:00 pm »

It was cool fighting them in BFII, just would have liked to fight them with aayla instead of getting killed in one hit

Quantum Rain · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:00 pm »

me too.

Emperor Onasi · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:50 pm »

yea, i don't want a one hit kill deal going on in UEaW

M Doyle · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:01 pm »

one question that i have though is what about the plants of felucia? would they hurt the Ackly or not as they seem to attack whatever goes past.

Emperor Onasi · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:08 pm »

hmm, good question

Solar · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:26 pm »

the acklay will be hostile, same as the rest of the planet so it will be immune.

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:16 pm »

If the acklay is a native it would have to be immune or it wouldnt be able to survive

Sage · « **Reply #23 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:23 pm »

If you ask that we get out of canon and into the Map Editer...heh

The plants as Solar said are hostile,they attack anything that isnt hostile.If the Acklay is hostle it's kind of part of their faction

Clone Commander · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:24 pm »

seeing how they are really tall, and only thier claws touch the ground id have to think that the plants couldnt even touch them really, seeing how any repulsorlift vehicle was only a few inches, maybe a few feet off the ground

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #25 on:** August 23, 2008, 01:36 pm »

The acklay would have built an immunity to the toxic plants as it evolved

M Doyle · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2008, 01:52 pm »

can there also be the giant mutant acklay on geneosis?

The mutant acklay was on yavin IV at the geonosian lab (ive killed him in swg and taken his head as a trophy)

M Doyle · « **Reply #30 on:** August 23, 2008, 02:19 pm »

it's okay, i didn't know till i read it yesterday.

incact, there are lots of hazardouscreatures on Genosis to...

Bad planets-
Tattoonie
Felucia
Genosis

Lord of the Night · « **Reply #31 on:** August 23, 2008, 02:23 pm »

acklays are native to felucia, they were exported from felucia to geonosis

M Doyle · « **Reply #32 on:** August 23, 2008, 02:29 pm »

the acklay weren't native to felucia,

The acklay was a large, nonsentient creature native to the oceans of Vendaxa

Acklays were also exported to the world of Felucia, where they flourished.[5] During the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion encountered acklays during the Battle of Felucia. The clone troopers were initially overcome by the creatures, but were able kill all of them.[5][1] At least one acklay was believed to be present in the rumored Geonosian Bio-Lab on Yavin 4.[6]

they were imported to felucia,

Ah I see, so then they should still be on felucia

Yeah I like that idea

So what do the team think, is this idea good enough to be approved?

Clone Commander · « **Reply #36 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:32 pm »

their home planet doesnt sound that bad to include either

One problem there....They dwell in the oceans....Now,how are we going to use that?

Clone Commander · « **Reply #38 on:** August 23, 2008, 07:18 pm »

well, their food source is on land, so they could come out of the water, and then when you kill them they could have a respawn time, but it would have to be a large respawn time seeing how you cant destroy the ocean

M Doyle · « **Reply #39 on:** August 30, 2008, 08:02 pm »

So, did we ever decide on the Acklay?

Clone Commander · « **Reply #40 on:** August 30, 2008, 08:39 pm »

idk but im pretty sure we are going to get in trouble for bumping the topic or w/e

Emperor Onasi · « **Reply #41 on:** August 30, 2008, 08:48 pm »

that isn't bumping, and I would love that answer as well...

Clone Commander · « **Reply #42 on:** August 31, 2008, 04:19 pm »

im pretty sure the answer is yes, its just up to the team now

A lot that will go into the Acklay will be very tough.

I'm all for Felicia (I'm horrible at spelling thngs lol) but i don't know about geonisis because they went indigenous there and they would be very few of them there if any

Solar · « **Reply #49 on:** September 13, 2008, 04:45 pm »
