Currently playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
The Trade Federation campaign was pretty cool, it actually felt like a real invasion.
Disrupting critical infrastructure, smashing capitals, commando-style operation to kidnap Gungan leaders to find their capital and finally, smashing that one.
Also, the Naboo death screams, holy shit, those screams....
He had the control of most powerful droid army, trade, bankers, tech, advertisement, separatists, basically everything. What the fuck was this retard waiting for? He could have been the hero of the galaxy but most importantly bring a new age of prosperity with droids. What a waste.
Fuck human armies.

That's what the B2s were for. Then Lucas changed his mind. >>718748378
He's got bullshit mandalorian armor. He survived getting repeatedly curb stomped by a dark trooper earlier in the series.
>>718747643 >what was dooku's problem?
he was evil, the separatists were never allowed to win and existed to push the republic into becoming the empire
the empire was always the main goal
dooku didn't care about the separatists, he wanted the empire
grievous didn't care about the separatists, he just wanted to kill jedi
ventress surprisingly is sympathetic to the separatists, at least post-war
>>718748462
The fuck is some armor going to do against blunt impact from a super battle droid that can bend steel and punch trough reinforced walls.
If the show wasn't shit the dumbass in the armor would not be getting up for a long time and if he didn't have silly amounts of plot armor he would be 100% dead.
The force doesn't just dissapear, it would be all transfered, into his head in this case. The armor would be fine and his brain would be scrambled eggs.
>>718748363
Lucas comes up with the coolest fucking villains ever and then pussies out when he realizes there's no easy way for the heroes to fight them.
>>718745576
There's a really good Star Wars total conversion mod for Total Annihilation thats worth playing too. No campaign but it comes with a bunch of maps i think.
>>718748624
He was a dupe, but he wasn’t a full on dupe. He knew that the ultimate plan was to use the separatists as a ruse to militarise the republic and kill off the Jedi, but he didn’t know that he was considered disposable when Palpatine found a better option.
>>718749195
His hairline being 2 inches from his eyebrows is a clear giveaway of his low intellect.
Aww look at his expression, what a funny loaf, you can almost hear the chipmunk running on his wheel in his head. So precious.
>>718749219
he was also hoarding money extorted from not only his people but other separatist worlds >the republic is corrupt and we should leave >proceeds to become as corrupt as the republic proving that he was just lying and never gave a shit about what he said
>>718748529
Lucas really said "history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes" and then dropped prophetic space politics wrapped in laser swords and space wizards. Dude straight up looked at the post-9/11 world and went "yeah, this won't get better" and made the prequels. People clowned on him at the time, now it’s like watching a documentary with better costumes.
>>718747643 >Retard hasn't read the RotS novelization
Dooku knew about the Empire, the CIS were always a bunch of tools to help tranform the Republic, they were never meant to win. Furthermore, Dooku purposefully gave the CIS all the things he hated so that they'd be discriminated against during the Empire (Alien leaders, independent companies, droids. Dooku was a humanocentrist who believed in the government controlling every single facet of life and aliens being second-rate citizens)
Of course he's still betrayed by Palpatine because he's less strong than Anakin/Vader, who is the strongest Force user alongside his son to ever live, but he was still more of an ally and apprentice to Palpatine than Maul was at the end of the day.

It's weird how the dark force just scrubs personality most of the time because outside of very vague moments you really don't see a lot of their overarching personalities.
Someone like sheev just seem to be ruling for the sake of being evil with no real needs or desires. So much that they had to make up a bullshit "oh yeah there is a super duper evil force outside the known galaxy" excuse later on.
>>718757986
I get this is le funny meme but it is true that Mace was not behaving like a Jedi when he tried to kill Sheev. It's part of the whole idea that the Jedi had lost their way and become corrupt
I don't buy for a sec that Lucas intended them to be perfectly good in the PT. I think that's an opinion he made up after TCW where they're portrayed as one-sided heroes who are occasionally blinded by the dark, rather than the PT Jedi who are clearly arrogant and paranoid, and have larger faults that Luke fixes later on
>>718747643
What was Dooku's idea for a government or ruling body under the CIS? He knew the Republic was corrupt as fuck and the Jedi were also being corrupted as well, so what was his idea to make something better?
Also Dooku is my favorite sith behind Vader
>>718758715
None. Read the responses before commenting, Dooku was never going to actually put the CIS as a faction (except in retarded Disney lore which hasn't come up with a government for the CIS because the writers are too stupid for that
>>718758715
From the literal single scene we have from The Clone Wars, it was just a committee exactly like the republic where he was the chancellor, but every CIS system had equal voting power so he was kinda just a figurehead.
I wonder if Ventress and Grevious ever appeared at public events, like fundraisers or whatever.
>>718757645
Dark Side doesn't really scrub personalities, Sith Lords just hide their personal stuff most of the time.
Sheev from birth was a total psycho pretty much as seen in the Plagueis novel. He was also an adrenaline junkie who loved collecting vehicles which is likely still true, I can see him maybe doing personal races with his custom Theta-Class shuttle and other collector ships secretly. He's also always liked the opera and high-class theater as seen in RotS
Dooku was always (at least in Legends) a bit of a psycho too who saw people as either allies or threats, no inbetween. He always had a superiority complex due to being the count of Serenno and didn't believe in ruining his reputation for friendships or whatever (this is a pretty big part of his backstory)
>>718752475
And attack of the clones was probably mostly finished by time 9/11 happened. It came out 8 months latter 9/11, so I doubt much could’ve possibly changed.
>>718758880
given that ventress can walk around the galaxy basically unrecognized by most with the exception of military types/those directly involved in the war, I would suspect that the general public didn't know who she was
grievous was probably well known, he's supreme leader of the entire CIS military and 2nd in command to dooku
>>718743972
I feel you. Always thought B2s should’ve been a more special unit.
One of the main reasons I mod BF2 is so I can play as phase 1 Clones on every map
>Try to play through the campaign on Elite Mode AGAIN >Get filtered by having to defend the bookcases AGAIN
Having enemies that appear out of thin air that two-shot the thing you're supposed to protect is such good game design.
>>718760857
Just sit between two of them and defend them, or focus on one and just keep repairing them every time they take a hit. Pre-place detpacks for the jedi that spawn in and drop down.
>>718760984
I don't like cheesing but I guess I'll have to, I've already resorted to parking the vehicle in the gateway to keep the enemies out during the oil refinery defense and force pushing Grevious off the ledge so this playthrough is already very dishonorable.
>>718761514
Cheesing? That's just how you do it, man. Other than the grevious thing, you can just kill that doofus by charge attacking him at the right time as obi wan.
