This is a summary of all Goauld ground forces. As you can see, some are totally new, some are just remade, some are reskins of EaW units. Have fun with this!
JAFFA
The Jaffa are the the main element of the Goauld army. You can recruite plenty of them and they are very cheap, but they are not really powerful.
Jaffa Prime
The Jaffa prime is a very skilled and old Jaffa. He costs a bit more than normal Jaffa and can not be recruited very often, but with him in an army Jaffa will fight much better at his side.
Elite-Jaffa
Elite Jaffa are the most powerful "normal" Goauld infantry. They cost a lot more than normal Jaffa but are trained very well! Because of this special training their number is restricted.
Probe
The probe combines both, a reconnaissance and battle unit. It is armed with small staff weapons and a shield, so it can stand Tauri infantry. It can be used to spy out Tauri planets or to fight the Tauri directly. They are not really cheap, but with their ability to explore foreign planets you should have it anyway.
Death glider
The death gliders are the allrounder of the Goauld. Able to fight the Tauri airforce and to beat off the attack of Tauri soldiers it should be in every ground army. They are cheap and can be recruited in vast numbers.
Battle probe
The battle probe was built because the Tauri started to use armed MALPs and heavy stationary defenses. It is armed with a powerful shield, 2 big staff weapons and even a ground-to-air weapon. They are mainly designed to attack towers but are also able to fight against air units. It is expensive, but with it in your army you can be sure that the Tauri will have big problem.^^
Al'kesh
Alkesh are the most powerful Goauld air units. With its weapon turret it is able to fight against every ground unit and with its bombs it can destoy all possible buildings very fast. It is expensive, but because of its extreme firepower you should have it in every ground army.
Kull warriors
This invention of Anubis is the most powerfull Goauld ground unit. It has a damage reducing armor and powerful, very fast firing staff weapons. It is very expensive, but it can stand almost a complete Tauri army. Their number is restricted but even with only one in your army the Tauri must have a very good ground defense to defeat it.
And now some facts concerning the new version, just for fun^^:
- more than 200 models(including ships, ground forces, buildings, satellites, missiles/bombs, death clones, etc.)

- more than 100 new effects(weapons, shields, etc.)
- countless code lines^^
- packed currently about 450MB, unpacked more than 1,2GB
Well, i hope this was a bit funny and informative.
Playing these ground units is already a lot of fun!
Stay tuned for more about other stuff^^.
very very nice. i was just thinking you haven't posted any new update in quite a while ....
Kull warrior i know this may seem very dum but how powerful are they and wiil they be able to stand up to the likes of one of the gatling gun things(anti infantary turret)Also will he be able to take on aircraft because air usually owns the ground units
1 more thing all hese new maps like atlantis earth and dakara will they all be playable in skirmish or just in campagin also while on the subject of dakara and atlantiswill they have there special features as in the city and the superweapon asviewable anyway.
You really make me crazy!^^
But one answer, the special maps are only in GC and not in Skirmish.
And now simply wait for the release please, you have really asked enough questions...^^ I believe it is really annoying to know everything already before the release!
i know but when things are relesed i usually get bored because of the hype i give the hidden stuff so to know most of the stuff makes me play it more.
This isnt a question make more of these maybe wit tauri ground forces also do this for space units i think it would be cool.Who agrees.
I agree with ZionandGaz you should make an update with the Tauri ground units... but i´m sure you have already thought of that.
These units are...............AMAZING BEATIFULL DONE !!!!!!
Cant wait to release date :=D
just a idea the kull are biger than the Jaffa but not fater
The elite jaffa seemed to be missing weapons, despite convincing poses :P
well done! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
the kull warior looks very cool!! well done!!
nice work you guys have been busy... like the pyramid in the background of the Alkesh Pic

Looking really good, love the look of the Kull Warrior
i just have to say that i think Anubis has been spoiling the Kull warriors... i mean look at them, he's been feeding them too much
It looks like that because it is the dark trooper, only reskinned. I think i have explained more than enough during the last few weeks why we won't make new infantry models for the ground anymore...
I do a lot of modding for other teams and there is nothing worse than putting your heart into something (for free and for the love of it) to have what are essentially nit-picks taken up with your work.
I am a massive fan of the series and I think the next update looks like it will really be something special, at the end of the day - who seriously zooms all the way in to what is such a tiny model in the middle of a battle???!
I've been playing 0.8 religiously for a long time now - quite frankly I'm excited :)
Getting closer to the final release, can't wait
