Dunenewt Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Can sum1 help me wif a list of things which r wrong in EmpE.G.Shields on Dune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 1. Kindjal is not a rocket launcher, it is a knife.2. Why do Sarduakar elite use LASGUNS and KNIVES? (shields, personal shields)3. ADP can shoot at ground units, guide says it cannot4. Troopers missiles track. Guide says they don't.5. Fremen do not use thumpers to ride worms. They use maker hooks. Thumpers are there as a distraction.6. The coriolos storm should be instantly fatal to all troops and aircraft, but it isn't.7. The manual and guide claim that the sandworm will sink below the sand when it eats 1 unit. That is completely not true. If it eats 1 VEHICLE it will sink back down, but it could eat a whole stack of infantry and keep going.8. What happened to CHOAM? What is this new 'Guild'?That's all I can scratch up for now, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 About the troopers and the ADP, the guide is correct, the guide says troopers have some missile track and ADP can fire on ground.House Tleilaxu isn't correct, it is Bene Tleilaxu, but I can be wrong...

What is this new 'Guild'?Answers5.Thumpers are used to call worms to you, then you jump on and use hooks, read the books.6.Maybe it is just a smaller storm otherwise it is to unfair to everyone.8.CHOAM still does the starport. The guild is the guild of the navigators, read the books.Atreides are Red, in the books. But I am not sure of the Harks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Atreides are red and Harkonnen are blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Yes you are right ligic, but I think their galla uniforms etc have a variety of colors. I remember Moneo wearing awhite unifor and a black too. or so I think :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 it's Bene Tleilax, or TleilaxuYes, you're right, and the planet is also called Tleilax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Jacob, I am reading the books. I'm currently reading 'Children of Dune'. I know what the spacing guild is, it's just funny that CHOAM wasn't mentioned that's all. I know that Thumpers are there to call worms and that you jump on the worm with maker hooks, but in the game, the Fedaykin is sitting there right next to the thumper and the worm comes up from under him. He doesn't jump onto it as it passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burseg_candor Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 in the game the fedaykin should be eaten by the worm but its not.the kindjal is named after a knife but the unit probably doesnt know what a knife is ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Yes, the wormriders place thumpers to attract a worm, then the maker hooks are placed and then you can ride 8), but in the game the worm arrises beneath the fedaykin, but that's, I think, because of graphical reasons...

IxianMace Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 'Graphical reasons' Timenn? What kind of graphical reasons? The fact of the matter is it was probably too hard for WW to make the fedaykin unit actually mount the worm and control it, so it would be simpler to just let the thing come up from under... :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The battlefield of Emperor is just animated blocks moving on a background. Now is the background 3d and the units location is also 3d. But making a animation larger then the size of the unit is hard. You can do that but then you get all sort of problems like the animation of the fedaykin making a worm rideable, but then you see the fedaykin walk through cliffs, etc. You have to make animations then based on the rest of the battlefield. And that's much much work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 So fo' short. Too much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Not to forget it will seriously lag the game. Besides, The texture's of the model's are nicely done and looks great for my opinion. "If" WW is gonna make a new 3D game of RTS, They will improve the new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwatch Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 i noticed the Tleilaxu in the game movies were somewhat normal looking they didn't seem like they did in the bookupturned noses, hairy and small. the only thing they did right was the pale skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Tleiaxu: scary and ugly. The vehicles in emp would create a rather large ruckess that would probably attract a horde of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Worms have terratories? That's the question, I thought it was true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 in the original Dune Liet Kynes says that each worm has their own territory.. Don't know how they persuaded the worms in the ending though ::) Or maybe Paul was the Messiah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 What do you mean with ending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
