Hark Sards in 1.06

[Desert Ranger42]

??? In the readme that comes with the patch, it says Harkonnen Sarduakar us anit-tank mines. How does this work because? Or doesn't it?

[Boba Fett]

They do carry mines on them. Thats why any tank that crushes them gets damaged a bit. If a tank tries to crush a large no. of them, then the tank gets blown up.

But you cannot instruct the sardeukar to lay his mines anywhere. They are just a side effect that a tank crushing it will have to bear.

Thanks man. Now I know :)

[Boba Fett]

Its the same with fremen.

The same also occurs with saboteurs but they dont carry mines. They're bombs get crushed and detonated instead.

[Dunenewt]

What was the point in mines if they can't place them somewhere

[Cyborg]

to make it less tempting to crush a gorup of infantry.

[Boba Fett]

If they could lay mines, think of the possibilities. You could mine the opening of the AIs base. That way, he wouldnt be able to send light units to attack you. Light units like trikes dont end up doing much damage, but your turrets and units concentrate on one target at a time. So if trikes come b4 a devastator attack, your defence takes on the trikes while the devastators do whatever they want.

Of course, there is a disadvantage to mine laying too. What if your units go over them? Those mines could really cost you, y'know.

[Warlord]

they should have kept that sard crushing damage in emperor.

[Boba Fett]

Why, isn't it there?

Dont tell me that fremen dont carry mines either >:(

[Inoculator9]

Ummm.... last time I played, they could actually lay their mines :P
