Atreides movies are B.O.R.I.N.G. They are way to "un-evil". ;D House Harkonnen has the best story line by far. However The Executrix is the coolest person in the game. Expecially House Ordos' "ending" ... uh I mean your end is wicked! To bad they cut out the real hartplug scene. You can download it somewhere and it's very bloody. It's a shame WW had to take it out just because some puny kidz play this game to! ;D

Haha another one like me. As Atreides, I also played ALL missions AND defended them till only the two enemy homeworlds were open. In total that's more then 35 missions!!! :O :O :O While playing I already thought what a crap game since the defence missions are boring and the attack missions beyond the 5th are also nothing special. G0d D@//||! >:( :-/ >:( Hell! This way I can also make a game with a huge map and claim to have very much single player missions. Stupid WW. >:(

Indeed, but the guide says it is only AA. A bit strange indeed...

Hhmmm... Most people say that you need to escort Mino's with Mongoose's. Is this only for AA or also other things? I find Mongoose personally way to slow for the "ability" they have. Personally I use Air Drones as AA defence and offence. It's works great, attack when you don't need them. They are phucked up fast anyway.

Yeah whatever... ??? Ofcource the scale is not correct. Just think a marine is as strong as an Infantry unit. Then you can compare the units... But this thread is complete bullsjit anyway. ;D

Hhmmm, somehow I get the feeling Edric O thinks Emperor o//ns. ;D But seriously, ALL the units of Starcraft (=> Terrans, Zerg & Protos) are WAY more versatile the the (sub-)houses of Dune. For example: In Emperor all houses build their buildings normally like the others while in starcraft: -Terrans need to stay and complete the building. -Zerg will lose their builder when it transforms into a building. -And one Protos can start countless buildings and they will finish without further help. I seriously think that the starcraft units would spank E:BFD's bottom big time because they allow you to get the best of the best units combined. And ofcource you can do much more sneaky tactics and your opponent needs to protect himself against that. Most units in Emperor are the same and attack head on. Don't get me wrong, I like Emperor way more ofcource but I miss the "Special Abilities/Spells" (Like Zerg burrowing - transforming -

lol @ 2d vs 3d ;D

Starcraft has much more powerful (Faster, also AA, stronger defence & offence, etc...) air units if I remember correctly. And most units in Emperor have crap AA. Do yer math. :)

True, I never understanded why Fedaykin are immune to sonics anywayz... If you can't hear the sound won't mean you can't get destroyed by it. But then again, how on earth can an infantry unit resist more tank bullets then a vehicle! :-/ Guess this is the only way to include "strategy" in a game.

:O :O :O :O OMG! :O :O :O :O "The most disgusting part of the Baron is probably the fact that he is an extremely Homosexual person." I am certainly not gay but if I met you I would smack you in the face! ;D I think however that you didn't mean it that way and just try to say the Baron himself is looking discusting... You better change the sentence though.

Shai-Hulud is that HUGE worm that you cannot kill and comes out of nothing.

Well I think WW's opinion was: "A harvester brings back quickly 700 credits and you can get another refinery (+Harvester & Carryall) for only 1500"!. Ofcource it's true they are all cheap and such, a few harvesters/carryalls destroyed is no disaster but the problem is that 3 Atreides Air Drones for example will wreck all incomming carryalls, not even time to respond quickly enough and all the stupid carryalls don't even care they get annihilated and just fly towards de enemy. ??? You can however select the path from a refinery where the harvesters should go to...

Yes, in close up a devasators "knees" are really ugly! What were they thinking at WW! Do they have some 6 year old kiddo designer there or something? ::)

Evilbaronatreides, some things are worse then ch33ting. Taking over someones base with a stealthy Atreides APC is just cruel! ;D

"Worm Strike as superweapon"... Damn, it would be cool (read: overpowered) if you can summon a Shai-Hulud! Yer whole attack force whiped out! Whoehoo! :D

Perhaps not really a bug but certainly something that should be better next time is thosed damned carryalls-harvesters! You can not select a carryall to draw back when in danger, instead if happily flies to enemy territory and get's annihilated. And to make things worse the harvester it was carrying also get's destroyed. >:( Mainly bad AI thus...

Sure, no problem m8. ;D

Deploy a Fedaykin. For Shai-Hulud!!

Look at my profile you dummy. *shakes head* Anyway if you don't ment me it's no problemo. Still would love to fight against the guys on these forum though. I created a topic "*** Online Names ***" on the general Emperor forum. Dun all be such chickens and say what's ya online name. ;D I don't know what kind of Model you use and where you live but I have a very bad experiance with those damned slow connections. *Rembers the game with some russian d00d using a 28.8 modem or somethin'* (AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I never said Ordos were bad or somethin'. Atreides are just better in general. And AoD, you're calling me a newbie? What's your online name? I wanna know so I can laugh at you when I kick your sorry ass.

C'mon, no one knows? :-/

I'm now "Phyr3x". What do you mean with "I use the North American Server"? Can you actually choose it? If so; where?

Leeches are so easely countered and are weak. Atreides players will just use their repair vehicle and Ordos can just blast the darn thing off and self-repair after that. Against Harkonnen it might be more effective... Still, Contaminator SUCK so you need to upgrade your building even to get to the leech. I use mainly Fremen and Ix since they have very good units and both of each house CAN become very important. Always use Fedaykin ofcource but if the opponent also does build warriors since they are immune to Fedaykin. Same thing as Projections, they can sure come in handy if the opponennt is unprepared and projected las tanks against Ordos is kewl. ;D And I always use a few Infiltrators since it breaks the morale of my enemy and he needs to protect himself against them. If my opponent allies with the Guild I place Fedaykin all over the place in my base... Perhaps he will never build a Niab tank anyway but he still forced me to do what I normally wouldn't do... That's power & control. */heares his mind voice saying: stop talking crap!!* Anyway, about the leeches, they are not that bad but there are simpelly way better subhouses to use.

Yes indeed, but Atreides are much more reliable. The Atreides player used mainly air attacks to take out my Carryalls and we all know Ordos sucks in AA. The Harkonnen player rushed me. I thought ordos was good in rushing :-/ I was kinda surprised I was counter rushed. :)
