Beating ordos level 8 , heres how u do it. pick level in the upper left coner, without mercenaries. Mercs give a false sense of security, but they are an asset. +, in hard and medium levels, mercs usually die in seconds. Also, altho u startoff with more stuff in the other level, they attk u right off the bat. ok , anyways. First, build base. I usually do this order -Wind factory -refinery -barracks -out post -heavy factory -ix research+med fact+starport build lots of tanks and deviators. dont worry a whole lot about infantry build palace, many sabuteurs, many harvesters. Attack atreides to sutheast. Sabut their turrets, med fact, and barracks. lead army to attack + kill all troops, keep army against the hark+emperor keep hem on the edge, amss large army, kill all troops. use engineeers to capture heavy fact, high tech fact, and palace ( palcae optional) use + build sonic tanks against hark raids, ( deviators help) attack emporer from south first, same as atreides, use abs to destroy most buildings, sonics to kill troops kill hark turrets with everything, fremen in vade hark base, kill construct yard + heavy fact in rapid sucession. lead mostly sonics and and tanks to kill harks, w/some deviators kill everything :-X
