For me, the most important message that isn't given is "Sandstorm approaching your base". Usually I'm micro-managing a squadron of laser tanks and only know about it when it's sucking up infantry by the dozen.

Hello everybody, I was just curious to find out who else plays the Dune MUD (homepage is http://dune.servint.com/). My latest character is a Fremen named Grumman. So who else plays? Alex

Now, what the internet *really* needs is a 12 year old-to-English translater. "IM AN INTALIEGNT BNG WHO WIL B STUDYNG M3CHATRONICS AT UNIEVRSITY THIS Y3AR!1!!1!! WTF" God save us all :D Alex

Does anybody else use the tactic of deploying mortars/kobra and then building walls around them? This protects them from direct-fire weapons, but do people think this is worthwhile? Alex

Sven was using pig latin. remove the 'ay' at the end of each word and move the 3rd last letter to the front. Simple 8) Alex

You do realise why this offer applies? We don't have any w***ers in this country ;D Those sheep jokes are completely misguided. They should be directed at our New Zealand neighbors. Alex

Does anyone know the technology and weapons banned by The Great Convention? I know that atomics may not be used against humans, and the use of thinking machines is banned, but is there anything else people know of? Alex

[Edit]I tried to talk to them, while they were still standing at the lower-right entrance. They didn't talk, instead they walked into my base and became Contaminators. Are these the Sardaukar I have to contact? Alex

Ok, in the Ordos campaign, you are attacked from the far-right Harkonnen border. The mission involves a Sardaukar patrol that has been cut off by the Tleilaxu. I have finished this twice, after finding what I thought was the patrol, but after the mission the Mentat calls it a lost opportunity, or something similar. Is this supposed to happen? And if not, where is the real patrol? Alex P.S. I will find the exact wording if it would be of any benefit.

Thanks IxianMace, I might have been waiting a long time if you didn't tell me. The username works fine. Alex

Gerbilpoo: I believe the reason Dunenewt said another sub-house was impossible is because you can only have a maximum of 3 houses and 5 sub-houses. Warskum: There are ways to get around the scout/fremen picket line when using IX, such as mixing in a few real units or projecting scouts to see their scouts. But I agree, compared to Fremen and Sardaukar, they are harder to use against human players. Alex

Mine will be AlexHolk once I get the confirmation email. Be merciful :- Alex

I know that it doesn't work if only one person has the mod, but if someone asked you to try a particular mod, would you be suspicious? Say I asked you to try a 'really cool' mod that you hadn't tried before, that was available on Dune Editing (the closest we have to an official mod list). Would you agree to play? Alex

I'm sorry for bringing this topic back, but I have to add my opinion. I would suggest that Innoculator9 should remove this mod from his website. The only change to the game is the addition of this Jackblade unit. This unit: costs 50 credits builds extremely rapidly is very fast is poorly animated has 2 powerful sonic weapons and is invisible And this unit is only added to the Atreides side. On my first test of this mod, I was annihilated by the addition of a single Jackblade (that I know of) to the AI force. I was not expecting such an overpowered unit in the game, so when it appeared it wiped out 3 Laser Tanks with one shot, then disappeared. Only 2 units I had built were able to survive more than one shot, a Harvester and a Sardaukar Elite. The only purpose for this mod is to gain an unfair and uninteresting advantage over either the computer or another player who has been fooled into playing against you. Alex

Thanks for your replies everyone :P It is unfortunate that the house limit applies, but the other information should be useful. Alex
