Yo, Seth. Try a little punctuation. It's pretty hard to understand your posts.

I just used loads of Fedaykin to take out the buildings, and Minos to take out the units.

Missile turrets, kindjals, and minos are my defense group. Plus, a couple thopters can provide air support. Hey, every little bit helps!

Who cares howe u sell/

Yeah, but what about those Tleilaxu turrets?

I always look forward to something that is Dune, so I thing FH's Dune looks pretty cool.

Not true. Turrets will turn against turrets, but only when there's no turrets left will they turn against buildings.

I suppose the best thread is the one that actually has a point!

Well, it looks some people aren't completely zoned out of these boards.

I've always been angry about that effect. It looks nothing like what they described in the book. I always invsioned a huge explosion flinging spice everywhich way.

Hmm, how about that. 3 days on this board and I've got 26 posts. I should get out more.

I don't see how you can cheat on anything. The game is pretty straightforward, and anything you want to change or make easier you can do that for skirmish. I, personally, hate cheating on comp games.

That strategy might work in WWII but I doubt it works in Emperor. There are too many good anti-infantry or anti-vehicle units for it to work.

I'm sorry, but the strategy's been staring you in the face the whole time. Build some Fedaykin, then after you capture the cannon, carefully move your fedaykin to the worm. Your nifty Fedaykin will fry the worm in a minute or so.

Mortars are only good if the unit is stuck to the ground. Dust Scouts I missed, so yeah, they're good against infantry, but what if the infantry are accompanied by tanks or minos? DScouts get blasted if ya blow on em to hard, and even if ya don't, they get to slow.

I once had a scout sucked into a storm, and the scout got flown right over the enemy base, since the units still have pathfinding when the get blown up. Pretty cool, although it didn't help me that much.

I'm currently in the process of getting TS, but getting something for myself would piss everyone off this close to Christmas. So I wait...for now.

Done all the stuff....hope it works. Thanx for your help.

He..he..he...sorry if I've offended anyone by my exuberance. I'll shut up for now.....but I'll be back......

Hmmm, didn't this thread use to be about taking out a con-yard. Wish my threads got this much attention....

Who uses mongooses, anyway. I always found them too lightly armored for attack, although they do make a nifty air-deterant. When I'm strapped for cash, I do plop a couple on spice fields to defend against enemies. That, and they make good bait for an ambush, since everyone seems to underestimate them, until, of course, they get blown to bits by its Fedaykin Honor Gaurd (I love to be subtle....).

All right, I give up....but I always thoght the thopter was forgotten unit. Atriedes were supposed to have super air units, but the omni just isn't powerful enough. But maybe, if you stuck em in a protected place, and used minos and all the other units, you could use the thopter as a harvester-hunter( thats the main reason I use, for one)

If your playing against Ordos, send one thopter in, and all their air mines will blow up and fire their missiles. Then, simply bring in your thopter force, and let em have it.

20 thopters will take down any building, and if you blow up the enemy con yard and factory, their at your whim.
