Sorry, that's very AoTR and not us.

I'm not sure what AoTR is, but I thought that "us" was a mod that made EAW the game it should have been, which would make things more cannon...

Actually i have to disagree with wookie infantry.

It may be cannon, but rebel infantry units overall are already much more powerful than stormies. one word. Plex.

Rebel troopers are supposed to be weak because stormies are better anti-infantry. Its a rebel weakness. But they make up for it with a anti-armor infantry unit the plex troopers. while the stormies suck against vehicles, and have to rely on more expensive armored units to take out vehicles.

by giving the rebels wookies, well that means they would dominate as infantry which isnt a good representation of rebels vs Empire.

Plus give cannon accounts where wookies fought on other planets as troopers for the rebellion?

It didn't matter what species you were to join the rebellion: everyone was welcome

the reb infantry vs. stromtroopers issue was solved in another thread, stormtroopers were made better

if made diverse, reb infantry units should adopt only skins of wookiees and other aliens, not wookiee's stats

that's a good idea, and is doable, I believe; just like the indigenous units have random clothes.

but thats what i am trying to say. Where in the movies, or even the expanded universe did you see wookies in rebel infantry battalions. Unfortunately, the diversity in the rebellion came from several resistance groups aligned together under one banner of the rebellion. Usually the bothans would fight alongside bothans, wookies alongside wookies to liberate their own planets from imperial rule.

while in the NR this changed, and the military became more homogenized, most infantry/military were humanoid (humans, devonarian, twilek, etc) so they wouldnt look THAT different at a distance (or from our god view of the battlefield).

I'm not talking about Wookies in particular; just a mix of humanoid aliens and humans.

well to be honest if you want to invest time and effort into it fine.

but i just want to point out that it isnt a glaring misrepresntation of cannon, and this is purely cosmetic

I agree with randomizing the unit skins, but someone needs to do some research and find the species that most commonly were in the rebel infantry. (Other than humans. Human's should stay in though.) So just use the species skins that were in the infantry the most. How would that work?

Don't you think that is a little to much like the Zann Consortion. They used a lot of different species using the Slavery Corruption option. You might as well give the Rebellion the currution option (I am being sarcastic)

No and this topic has been dead for long time so dont post to it.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #31 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:18 am »

Actually, the ZC uses the slave units that consist of specifically one type of unit (twi'leks, bothans, etc.) This is just changing the regular infantry skins to make it more canon.

But I do have another question. Do the rebels all have to have the uniforms that the naval crews use? I think we should give them the normal camo like they wore at Endor, or maybe the white-ish uniforms from hoth. Just to make it more canon looking. (And maybe improve the crappy skins that they have now.)

urkspleen · « **Reply #32 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:40 am »

i like the endor camo idea

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #33 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:47 am »

Thank you. I just thought it would make it a tad bit more canon looking.

D · « **Reply #34 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:50 pm »

I would like to see the skin changed, but the problem is then the troopers would look kinda out of place on snow planets if they are wearing endor camo dont you think. Unless on of the mods wants to tell me if its possible/worth the effort to code the units change skins on different planets based on weather.

but, since this is a cosmetic change (and a fairly insignificant one at that) i support it only to limited degree

Solar · « **Reply #35 on:** January 04, 2009, 06:48 pm »

it is simple enough to code it, but we would need the new skin.

D · « **Reply #36 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:29 pm »

that cant be too hard can it?

what if you just took the existing skin of say a stormtrooper and messed around with it, maybe a little mix and match with the original rebel trooper, and you would have the snow version of a rebel trooper

Killer Ale · « **Reply #37 on:** February 15, 2009, 09:21 pm »

whether or not the skin is changed, will there be a couple wookiees thrown in? i support both ideas

don't post in an old topic.
this topic is dead for over a month.

No wookies. It isn't cannon.
