And no, making them harder to produce/use/research will simply cripple AI further or give player unfair advantage - and I'd like to evade both. This has got to be the worst case of "WAAAH" i've seen in awhile.Īm i the only one that doesn't have problems with these things.? they're not THAT powerful.įor all of you guys saying remove them : Why? By all means make them harder to produce/use/research but removing them pretty much removes the only thing you have to actually worry about in Land Battles.They are that powerful - you contradict yourself by stating that they are "the only thing you have to actualy worry about in Land Battles". Something with medium range rockets, highly mobile and fragile In game: you didn't produce it - you're screwed.Īlso, I would count the hailfire droid as artillery.I wouldn't - but it (rather, something similar and more canonical) could serve as a good base for replacing unit. IRL everyone has some of one of the other. Not mentioning it's impossible for infantry to hide in - say - forrest.Ī)airforce - I don't have to say how sophisticated is EaW airforce If not, second or third will do.Ĥ)Maps are small, so hidding from artillery is rarely an issue. EaW artillery doesn't have this problem.ģ)Each shell hits, killing entire squads. Lastly, artillery would be vulnerable to other artillery.Nope, modern infantry is not obsolete, but:ġ)It doesn't move in big blobby squads (well, at least not 2/3 squads per 2/3 artillery units, which is the case now).Ģ)Problem is not firepower, but means to find enemy. This would serve as an effective countermeasure. This is not canon, but very much a possibility. One solution is to produce a unit that shoots down artillery shells in flight.

This is obviously false, and I can't think of a reason to remove artillery. Lastly, you would say that modern infantry is obsolete because of artillery. Ok, you can have artillery in prolonged conflict (some battles of Clone Wars) but then you should be able to bring some more reinforcements. Most of the battles has special circumstances - becouse most battles were fought "on the move". On Utapau, the sinkhole would have suverely limited the usefulness of artillery. On Endor, they were not expecting an attack they needed artillery to defeat. On Hoth, the imps needed to move quickly, so the artillery would have been left behind. Genosis is the only real full-scale land battle, and we saw artillery there.

You have ignored any sorce outside the movies, which have special circiumstances. I wouldn't be so hasty in calling it uncannon.
