Territory Battles: Imperial Retaliation: Vertical Slices 1-3 Platoon Requirements

I have created a Google Sheet with the information. It calculates the total number of each toon/ship needed per phase/slice. When the requirements change, you just copy the new list in and it recalculates.

You are welcome GC B)

So, even having much less dark side toons available than light side, we get an extra territory in DS TB with extra Platoons to "burn" toons there, so that we almost don't have toons left to complete missions?

Before I read this thread I knew what phase and platoon 1, 2, etc meant. Now I am so confused. How are the terminology between the devs and actual players completely different? Never seen a game like this before with such a disconnect, it's like we are speaking different languages sometimes.

I'm with you @warmonkey. Phase doesn't have to have a temporal connotation. It's a step in a progression. Also, it can just mean "aspect" or "part." Here, should not phases progress with completion, not time? So if a Territory in phase 1 is unfinished, they're still in phase 1 when Phase 2 opens. They can progress to phase 2 once the territory in question has completed the phase 1 step.

But whatever. Star Wars: Galaxy of Vertical Slices it is, if CG insists.

Vertical slice = a strip of territories running straight up and down. How freaking hard is that to understand? Come on.

They shifted from using “phases” when talking about Platoons because certain characters are blocked from Platoons but those restrictions apply to a vertical slice of the map. For example, Phoenix isn’t in Platoons for a certain vertical slice of the map because they are required for a mission. But a guild could need Phoenix for Platoons during the “phase” because they also have the prior vertical slice open from not completing it and that one will have Phoenix in its Platoons. So they aren’t restricting Phoenix or Rogue One by “Phase” because some people do territories out of order....they are restricting them from Platoons only on that vertical slice of the map where they are needed for a mission.

I may be dumb, but who is Magnaguard?

Can we get totals of every unit required (I.e. phase 3, 6 Darth Mauls) somewhere?

Its a work in progress, but you can see it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F9iglT2Uxfrr02aUlwT8ACbWar3yP_7c6yADo1OiW_w/edit?usp=sharing

The ingame messaging (and most discussion around TBs) uses the term "Phase" to describe what has recently been called "Vertical Slice"/"Vertical Strip". Could CG please stick to the ingame terms to avoid confusion? Thanks.

No they do not. Each Phase represents a period of time which can contain territories NOT in one vertical strip/slice of the map. In one phase I can be doing territories from up to 3 different vertical slices at one time.

Hence they use different terminology EXACTLY to prevent the confusion that would ensue if they simply used the term phase (as that is not what they are talking about).

@TroelsVastrup
Nice start on the sheet. Thanks for doing this.
I know it is work in progress, so you may already have noted these things:
It is a little confusing how some of the totals just list a character, without a number next to it. (But apparently that means 1 of that character - e.g. tuskans in slice 1), But other places it gives the character with a 1 next to it (e.g. Mob Enforcer).
Also Geo Soldier is listed twice in totals for slice 1.
Savage is listed twice in slice 2.

Yes please stop with this vertical slices stuff. "Phase" is perfect.

Heya @Darth_Ouchilus

Unfortunately Phase is a temporal (time based) measurement. Usually 24 hours. While we're trying to describe map oriented objects and areas on the map. Hence, sometimes there being confusion.

Consider, in Phase 1, a guild only finishes the top Territory. Then Phase 2, the guild would have a territory in column 1 and column 2 but still be in Phase 2. :frowning:

We'll get it straitened out tho.

Cheers!

I'm quite sure every guild out there can at least 1* each territory.

My guild 1* 2 territories in phase 5 in one day for the first time this last territory battle.

Far more guilds can not 1* every territory than can
