yea but what i mean is if theres no one riding the creature, then it doesn't have to be standing like a statue! it would look stupid

Yea.. If it can't be done in a way that makes the moving of the animal realistic.. I think it would be better without the animals. Dead lying on the ground would be better.

Well Both Naboo, and Tatooine would work perfictly for that. In the movies when Luke, and Obi-Wan come across the Slaughtered Jawas he states that it Was the Empire who killed them useing banthas and gafi sticks to cover their tracks. So yes Banthas were uesed in combat by the Empire. Also you see DewBacks being used on the planet by the Empire especialy in the first release DVDs where you see them ride them around and interact with them as well.

You also take note that the Storm Troopers are armed with some kind of combat stick. Would be nice to have that too!

Also on Naboo there are planty of sceenes where the Gungans use their Kadus in battle, as well as those massive Fambas! I could easly see the Rebles working with the Gungans to free Naboo from the Empire. Heck it was one of the best maps in SWBF1. I mean it was so cool to ride around the Kadu through blaster fire, and it was a great way to get to a CP fast. Though ours should be able to have two players on them instead of one.

Also in times of war especialy WW2 witch much of StarWars is baised on. Lots of contries relied on animals for pulling of arty and troop transport. Especialy the Germans, and Russians who both used cavlery in combat, so did the Polish, and French as well.

Just because it's a StarWars mod dose not mean we can't have some fun tossed into the mix right? If it is done in real life it should be done in the mod. I mean for heavans sake you see the Empire use all kinds of creatures in the StarWars movies. Whos to say the Rebles did not do the same thing but more so because of their lack of credits and reliance on forming relationships with the local populations of planets.

They had taun tauns in the base (obviously) . The rebels just didnt think to use them in battle. Maybe thats why they got massacred?

Agree. Although the creatures would be nice, I don't think many of them (if any) fit in battlescene. Dewback perhaps... or not.

The Taun Tauns were not in any of the battle scenes dude. They were used for scouting, not battle. So they DO NOT belong.

Indeed.

Hm, after rewatching the movie: Echo Station 3-T8, imperial walkers ...., so I guess it's the name of the base not of the walkers.

Taun-Taun's have never been used during the battle of Hoth? When have you last seen the movie ?
The film (E5) starts with a Taun-Taun and when you look closely you might find find some rebel soldiers riding them while the T-8 Walkers (AT-AT) approach.
