Boba Fett

:-[Cool down, fellas. I was just commenting on his style. I mean, what fun is the game if u can finish it off as soon as u start? Or maybe its just my mentality. I like to build on every piece of land possible, upgrade to max, make my base impregnable, harvest a hell of a lotta spice, and then start attacking. That way, I get time to think up new and fun stuff to do. But If they get too strong, I blow up most of their buildings except the cy and refinery.

But make sure u don't use 2 many seiges. If ur atr, u'll find that sonics are nearly as effective against infantry. In a massed infantry attack by ur enemy, they mite just get close to ur sonix, an before u know it, those seiges will be blowing up the inf along with half a dozen other units. Even though seiges dont damage armoured units too much, over a period of time u'll find them a big pain.

Yeah, thats why I keep letting my units gather at certain points on the way. U'll hafta do that a lot, considering the speeds of different units if u send a mixed attacking force. I mean like, if u send miss tanx, sonic tanx and seige tanx, u'd better keep stopping to let the seiges catch up. :'(

How long are the intervals betwixt each transport?

Yeah, but u know vot? The One's my brother. I just returned from his house. His style of playing is totally diff from what he wrote. He starts a mission, builds a constr yard, refinery, hfactory, 10 more hfactries, a billion units, and before u know it, mission complete. He never plays for more than 15 minutes per mission.

Look, Do what I do. Build a base with 4 brx, send a whole lotta troopers + Inf. Mission Complete. As u can make out, I'm rather a sadist. I don't worry 'bout how many units I lose.

The fact that they're stupid.

You guys mean that the Ixians will send only one group of units?

I played the game yrs and yrs ago but I think I still remember this mission. If it is the one, then there is also a gun turret to the north of ur base. Its just to the left of the spice field on top of ur base. The GT can prove really nasty. If u try sending an attacking force, invariably have of it gets blown up due to this GT and the one just to the N-NW of ur Base. Therefore my advice is take these 2 down using missile tanks ordered from the Starport at the earliest possible hour. After that u can attack the base to the nw corner, thats the main oone. Oh, BTW, there happen to be a hell of a lot of GTs blocking the western entrence so enter from the north and on ur way down their base take out the GTs. And did I tell u that there is a really bugging sand worm just ouside thee north entrance to make uer entrance tougher? Ps- Use a hell of a lot of missile tanks. PPS- There also happens to be a base to the west.

That huge space happens to be just about enough to build 2 refineries, one wtrap and a brx and hfactry. How often do the transports arrive,neway?

I like that line; where did u get it from?

I'm new to the game and would reeeaaally appreciate tactics for the 6th and 7th missions in Ordos. Fact is, I managed to reach the 6th mission in around 3 hrs 8), but then got stuck. I've reached the part where I recieve Ixian transports. What do I do then? I know I gotta blow up atr & hark but there isn't any land near by to build on. I found 2-3 large expanses but they dont seem to have any entry points. :-. Can anybody tell me where I can find myself a large UNOCCUPIED expanse of land to build on?

Hey OwnGoalPenalty/lowzeewee, That one is for single player missions. U think that tactic of urs was lame? Wait till u read mine. I haven't played Dune for 7 yrs. I just remember everything in it, thats all. I'm doing my 9th so my parents promised it to me if I get 93% in maths, CBSE (God its gonna be tough, what with the revised curriculum, etc etc). I take it you're from Idia too.I'm a hindu from Chandigarh (The City Beautiful, 200+ kms north of Delhi, etc etc). Where are u from?

Hey u fellas wanna know a real fun tactic? Send 2 combat tanks at either end of the AI's opening so that their whole army comes out. U keep widening the gap between the combat tanks slowly as their units draw closer, an' then u sneak an engineer in and capture the closest building. build some concrete near the opening immediately and fill it with r-turrets. those units outside won't be able to enter their base when they're done with the combat tanks (heh heh heh). PS- I'm new here so I wanna know- Is there anybody from India here?
