Create your own units here!

I was bored during class so i came up with a few units.

[alphabeta4000]

nice but you know the xbf limits but they are cool ideas and dunenewts are actually possible

[Vanguard3000]

Alphabeta:  We realise that the game has it's limits, but it's still nice to dream.  ;)

[evilbaronatreides]

and speaking of another dream:

Atreides Sand Flea Battle Suit: The Atreides have decided that their infantry needed quick armored support. The result: a highly trained soilder in a medium armored, high speed, battle suit. Armed with an automatic grenade laucher that effects both infantry and vehilces with equal damage, the suit uses small leaps and hops for transportation and is mainly used for quick back up.

[alphabeta4000]

your right I'm sorry but some of theunits that can be made might be made. So far I award the imagination award to evilbaronatreides

[evilbaronatreides]

wow thats almost as good as when i was Baron evilbaronatreides in the war of the goldfish. probably better though. lets see if i can think of another good idea:

alternate projectiles for the hark catapult:

acid- you know thats what you really wanted, inkvines is fun but you needed something more brutal. Well so did the harks, with armor (not to mention skin and flesh) melting acid.

napalm- Long range flaming barrels of fun. nuff said.

TNT- well think about it. If you could launch anything (besides cows) with a catapult what would it be? not a pumpkin or you baby sister, but a 30-pound can of black gunpowder filled with ball-bearings just for security measures. Imagine how much fun you could have with a barrel filled with expolsoves: TOO MUCH!

[Vanguard3000]

Why not cows?

[Dunenewt]

or Salusan Bulls

Wots gonna happen 2 these units???

[Asdrubaal]

Remember the ornithopters from the first Dune game? That ornithoper unfolded its wings like a bird, and had wings that looked like a hawk's wings.

That one could be used as a scout-vehicle that could land and stealth, also add a light machine gun (or a sniper gun) on it.

[Dunenewt]

There r a few different ornithoptors

Atr. should use more

[Asdrubaal]

The one's in emperor are weak. The wings hardly flap as they did in 2k and Dune...

[evilbaronatreides]

they are also missing jet engines. Oh well, what can one do? What would be fun if you could but something like a sniper rifle or a sardines gatling cannon in an air drone, some form of long range anti-infantry air power. The adp could be used here but its too slow and not that effective against ground units.

[Asdrubaal]

I guess a flying infantry killer is overpowered for the Atreides

[Dunenewt]

Depends if it needs to reload

[s2]

Name: Lightning Trooper

House: Smugglers

Cost: $600

Speed: Engineer

Armer: Heavy

Reload Rate: slow

Description: The Lightning Trooper has a deployable rocket launcher that sits upright, wene fired the area turns dark and the lightning comes out of the deployed rocket launcher and  kills( if it hits ) any targate chosen within its blast radius. Dose masive damage to tanks and medium damage to inf.  

Cheer: dosnt

[Grand_Wizard]

Make the fremen camps were you can allie w them and better units and vehicals

[Dunenewt]

Fremen wont hav vehicles naturally

[Asdrubaal]

What about introducing the Quad back into the game? Just give it a missile-weapon and some speed, and give it to the harks or Ordos?

[evilbaronatreides]

hum try the subhouse v2 mod, those are in it.

[Asdrubaal]

Okay.

Anyway, i thought up an unit for the Tleilaxu and the Ixians.

Tleilaxu Face Dancer:

The unit can assume shapes of any kind of infantry unit in the game. When it wields another units guise, i may move in through bases as if it was their unit. Face Dancers can then choose to drop their guise and fire a SMG or another weapon; or alternativly, enter a building and steal spice or tech (which upgrades the rank of the units the Tleilaxu produce).

Ixian Las Trooper:

Ixians have technology that allows them to make semi-AI's which are legal according to the Butlerian Jihad. This technology is used in robotic troops which wield lasguns (same kind of weapons as the Sardaukar Elite). Las Troopers also use conventinal close comat weapons that are deadly efficient up close to enemy infantry. Las Troopers are of course immune to poison and other vile gasious compounds used by their foes. However, Las Troopers are voulnereable to leeches. Las Troopers are in effect mechs and are fast, fierce and may stealth when not active or moving short distances.

[alphabeta4000]

face dancer no, las gunner yes

[Dunenewt]

wot about ixian fighting meks

[nampigai]

What about making a mod on the last books, the houses could be Bene Gesserit, Honoured Matres, Tleilaxu(?) and I don't know about the subhouses. Maybe even the Unknown Threat could be a part

[Vanguard3000]

Sniper Mk2:  Same as regular Atreides snipers in all stats, Mark 2 Snipers are in stealth mode when on infantry rock.

Camo Soldiers:  Light infantry who wear holographic image projectors which, when the soldier is "deployed", disguises the soldier as a small patch of infantry rock.  A group of Camo Soldiers can bunch together to form a larger, more convincing patch of rock.  The soldiers can still fire when disguised, but they cannot move.

[evilbaronatreides]

thats an awsome idea!!! Imagine the fun you could have with those units!!! How about this:

The Hark Mega-Devastator *dramatic reverb*

Along the similiar lines of immense brute strength, The harks decided to take out the missile launcher and add two addtional pairs of of plasma cannons. The result? The wrath of God in a nice mechanical package.

The Ordos P.A.S (Plasma Artillery Support)

Realizing that they needed a harder punch in their vehicles power, the Ordos began looking for something with a big bang for a good price. The reseached stolen plasma technology from the Harkonnen and saw the answer of their question. Using the body of a Las Tank, the Ordos stripped its shield generators and made the turret fixed and added a modified plasma cannon. Their advancments allowed for longer range and larger splash range (but a lessening of damage as result) and made its exactly what the Ordos needed: something with a big kick, but still with the speed and capabilties of a heavy hover tank.
