Dark_Blade Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 What would be the best way to defend a base against the Guilds Niab tanks, They seem to start attacking only a few minutes into a multiplayer game. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushman29 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 put units all over your base and put defences everywhere so you get them when they move in. Mongooses, Cobras, Minotauruses etc are good defence 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 definetly mongooses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Turrets are a good option, but even better are kindjal/(AA) troopers spread trough your base. 5/10 on each empty space in your base... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 fedaykin in combination with aa troopers/troopers/kindjal.only the atreides wil not have an extra aa defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Kindjal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 kindjal can't shoot in the air. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 But AirDrones are quickly build and a good AA defense. Mongooses are to weak for NIAB, and they are more expensive then kindjal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Fremen Fedaykin spread like butter throughout your base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobbybobbybobby Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 ;)Thats a good strat if you have tons of money... but wot if u dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 The building time is more important, and you build too slow to spread fedaykin trough your whole base... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 wel... if he has an whole hord of niab tanks then what do you have to counter that?if you don't have enough money then try saving money to build/upgrade an rifinerie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 By the that time you must have plenty of defense in your base as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken124578 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 light infantrie = ineffective against niab.chemical trooper = ineffective against niab.sniper = ineffective against niabyou get the idea? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Alot of the Slow verhicles in example Mongooses Assault tank. Mino etc etc is useless against NIAB. They can hardly hit him, Even if they did. He just regenerates and NIAB is more faster then a Las tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I have never had this problem with Niab's, but I suggest keeping a careful eye on your radar screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Well, I destroyed alot of Verhicle's and buildings with the NIAB's , If you got three NIABS that has 3 veterancy bar's, They are almost the ultimate battle weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Everything increases. Power speed recharge rate.I think, The Beautifull part is they are hard to kill when becoming elite :) ( Poor Feday's ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
