I am releasing the following alpha of the Jedi for 2 main reasons.
I want a public opinion of how the jedi combos are, and the force powers. Whether or not you like the models is irrelevant as they could be changed the next day. Balance, canon accuracy, creativity, among other catagories is what I'm looking to here critiques/opinions on.
A disclaimer: The Clone wars era conquest mode included is not intended to be critiqued or enjoyed, it was a simple test I preformed to see if the amount of Combos I had would overload or not.
Force powers are not clearly marked with localization so it may be a tougher learning curve in decyphering what is going on so I will place a layout here of the current powers. I will leave the combos for you to discover how to use.
Light_push is a more potent push than the stalk version but is nonetheless basic. The ai will use this often.
Force_light is a bright stationary effect that illuminates the user in a large glow, accompanied by damage in the immediate area of its use. It is not too much useful from far away, except to make you dissapear behind the light barrier.
Force_distortion may look like a mobile version of Force light, but its actually an invisible ordnance that will heatseek and strike any villain your pointing at when you fire. The ordnance upon impact will slightly wound the villain, and knock out his vision for 3 seconds. The steep energy drain is put in to keep you from spamming this attack.
Force_wave_push is a 360 high-yield push that will knock everyone far enough for you to escape.
Force_pull is pretty much like the stalk version, but more power and can be used to yank allies out of harms way now, as well.
Force_heal works only when near an allied Hero unit, and heals all on your team nearby, for 3 seconds with a large health burst. It is useless if you are alone.
Force_defence works the same as Heal, but has increased defence buff and a much longer, but smaller health burst. It will heal you from any attack that doesnt 1-hit kill you, for the duration of the Defence effects.
The Dark side has more aggressive attacks, designed to deal as much damage as it can.
Force_dark_push is a power-filled push, which works at a shorter distance than the light side version, but deals damage and a greater push on impact.
Force_choke works much the same as its predecessor, except this time around it chokes more enemies, drains less energy per second, but makes you move slower. Use it in combination with other moves to defeat your opponent, but make sure you do it fast as the heros could heal your targets.
Force_rockpile and Force_rockvolley are pretty much the same, but Force_rockpile sends smaller rocks that heat seek and move faster, rockvolley sends slower and stronger rocks.
Force_hate works on the premise of Lord Vader in the Shadows of the Empire. He worked to focus his hate and it healed his body temperarily. Force_hate works exactly like Force_defence but with even less health increasing over the time of its effects. It will heal all villains enshrouded in its warming hate fires.
Force_depression and Force_mallace are the Dark side's answer to the Light side's healing capabilities. Force_depression, with its experimental coding, is "suppose" to remove any buff effects and make the opponent weaker, with this code:
BuffOffenseTimer = "15.0"
BuffOffenseMult = "-50.0"
BuffDefenseTimer "15.0"
BuffDefenseMult = "-50.0"
But since that doesnt exactly seem to do the job, Force Depression will deal 50 damage every second for 5 seconds. It is an overall debuff of an enemy.
Force_mallace is a pure-damage over time weapon, dealing 100 damage every second for 10 seconds. A heal is required to survive this evil force power in most cases.
Force_destruction is the strongest force power available. Right from use it fires a claw-like burst of lightning bolts, accompanied by harmless verticle sprays of bolts which make it look all the more terrifying. The longer you charge the weapon, the stronger it becomes, but a single first shot is enough to burn through most jedi.
Without further ado...

Enjoy this preview.. And if you download this, PLEASE post here to say your comments after playing a round in singleplayer.
I have not tested this for online stability yet, but I hope it does work. If you crash, itll probably be the Force Destruction power, but I hope Ive fixed that online issue.
you did a great job about that.
