Beniboybling Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 How about Roan Fel and his empire?I'd rather move away from Empires and the big hitters and focus on the small sects... I plan on each battle having a specific planetary battleground, just to add something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurbere Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) I would also like to see the Hutt Cartel make an appearance. Maybe the Hutt Cartel vs. the Chiss Ascendancy. Obviously exclude Thrawn, otherwise the Hutts would be completely owned. Edit: And how about the Killiks (from the Swarm War, not the TOR ones)?

We don't really get definitives for alot of factions except for Galactic powers or Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ought to pare 'em up with one of our best Kaggath peoples yet due to the fact that Thrawn is a wizard. Seriously, Thrawn is the most Kaggath-deserving guy out there.

But who could truly face Thrawn? Very few can outwit him. Pairing him with the Ascendancy would be bad news for anyone. It would be best to use his personal Empire: Empire of the Hand of Thrawn.

Besides, it'd be a shame to neglect giving a Kaggath to Thrawn because he's awesome. That's flawed reasoning. He should get a Kaggath because he is awesome! If there's no one who can match him then could we consider paring up two lesser forces against him? Thrawn will get a Kaggath one way or another.

Someone out there could give him a challenge, but he could outwit anyone. He can make something out of nothing. You would have to pit him against a Galactic Government in order to have a good match-up, and we saw what happened when he went up against the New Republic. If it weren't for the Noghri, Thrawn would have swept the New Republic aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurbere Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Exactly. grrrrrrr The thing about Thrawn is that he doesn't have a "habit". He adapts and plans. If he encounters an enemy that seems invincible, he creates tactics to beat him. In the case of the Thrawn Campaign, he had laid out the path to victory, executing each step to perfection. The New Republic had no idea what he was planning next. Don't know who could beat Thrawn. IIRC Admiral Bwatu of the Galactic Alliance beat the Thrawn Simulator consistently. But I don't think a simulator can match the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be the real deal but it is close enough for him to be a good challenge imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think the simulator had every detail on Thrawn's thinking. If they worked with Palleon, then yes they would. But even Palleon didn't know all about Thrawn's thinking process.

Beniboybling Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) OK I thought I'd give this thread a bump as I'm planning the Bonus Series in a bit more detail now. So I'd like to hear anymore suggestions if you've got them, just make sure they tick the following boxes: It must be a debate that everyone can get involved in, so nothing too obscureThe combatants must have a comprehensive and definitive power base - not concerning size but concerning information, are their enough facts to get a good idea of what their power base is comprised of?Think small factions as opposed to big empires, and don't necessarily focus on specific individuals but the groups themselves, neither does the group require a specific leader.If you do suggest an individual, ensure that they are in fact the leader of their organisation and not simply a member, this excludes the likes of Grand Moff Tarkin of the Galactic Empire etc - unless you can attach a definitive power base to them e.g. a personal fleet. Confirmed combatants so far: Nighsisters --- Ohnaka Gang --- Death Watch --- Kota's Militia --- One Sith --- OR Jedi Order Edited February 19, 2013 by Beniboybling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventessel Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Possible factions: ARC Troopers HK-50 Droids (as per KotOR II) Imperial Knights Ubuse Bounty Hunter clans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaruin Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I'm still advocating Darth Nox vs Barsen'thor (with all their resources at the end of the game*) *not exactly, Barsen'thor before the ending ceremony and Darth Nox after the ending ceremony so they have all their resources at their disposal. Edit: Another interesting combatant would be ESB Admiral Piett (including General Veers' ground troops).

Aurbere Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 What about Empress Teta (including Odan-Urr or Ooroo as they were crucial in the defense of the Koros system)? Her forces fought well against Naga Sadow's vast illusions. Only problem is that the size of the Tetan forces is unknown. Then again, we don't know the numbers of many of the previous combatants.

Warren-Stride Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Sorry, this is kinda off-topic. Does anyone else find it a tad strange that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place were all taken by galactic powers that existed within about 50 years of each other? The Old Republic was a dangerous time. 0_o Edited February 20, 2013 by Warren-Stride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for the Noghri, Thrawn would have swept the New Republic aside. Pelleon could maybe take on Thrawn successfully, and that's because Pelleon was Thrawn's protege. Garm Bel Iblis was the only guy that I recall that actually could go toe to toe against Thrawn, but then the Corellian was fairly unorthodox.
