Thread: Idea for an M DE Droid Army
I think it would be cool for DE's to be able to controll multiple Droids at one time. Being a former M DE on Wanderhome, I have myself pondered the possibilities. I think it would be fresh if an M DE could controll a mini-Droid army. On the datapad it would be one unit, open it up and there are as many droids as the M DE built the deed with. Adding to this thought, there needs to be like 3 classes of battle droids: Weaker, Equal, and Stronger. We have weaker, haven't seen the rest yet.Add this to the mini-Droid army idea. At the time of creation the M DE could chose what droids go into it, but would use something like a lot system. Weaker = 1lot, Equal = 2 lots, and Stronger = 3 lots. Say the Army deed has a total of 6 lots to use. And there you have it. This could bring the DE's into the GCW as a viable fighting class, as well as keeping with it's crafting roots.
Just my thoughts, take care.
You can already have a droid army...just takes a bit of setup. Here's how:
1) You must own a Power Droid and have friends that don't mind helping you out.
2) Have your friends pull their combat droids from the Datapad, then target you and give the 'friend' command.
(You will need to know what the command words are for various droid functions on each of these people's droids. I suggest standardization.)
3) You now have command of a droid army. May I recommend the 'Column Formation' and 'Wedge Formation' commands to your attention?
4) Go forth and defeat your enemies!
