Dunenewt Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I think that the Atreides need a basic tankTheir mechs r 2 slowOrdos hav their laser tankHark hav their TankBattles can go on 4 so long because of their vehicles Sand Bike excluded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 They already have a tremendous tank the Sonic tank What they need is a bigger mino... Long Range shall Prevail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I think the Mongoose is a perfect tank, good firepower, not slow and AA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 uhhhhhh i think the Mongoose is a mech...... They need longer and stronger fire power for the Minotaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphabeta4000 Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 yip and of course this if you actually wanted it edited be in the dune editing forum. And the mongoose does fine and mechs on emperor are just tanks with legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmtmy Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 mongoose is too slow.it is very hard to defend your harvesters from attack at the beginning of the game :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 if atreides would get a basic tank, it would be like this:Atreides Combat Tank $800Armour: Same as MongooseWeapons: Rotateable Turret Mounted 80mm Cannon which is VERY light, used for anti tank pursoses only. May Crush enemy Infantry. Weak against missiles, Inkvine, and very weak against Kindjal and Laser. Strong against Assault Tanks, Flame Tanks, and even a Kobra (in groups)Speed: About that of the Mongoose, slightly faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 Hold up the Atr. are good enough you dont need them(therejust like the apc with a better cannon.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 The At are strong enough as it is. I don't see why a faster mongoose won't do, if that's your problem with the mechs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 it is pointless trading mongoose for that would not be worth it. It would be swapping hk assault tank with an assault mech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 I think changing units is a start of a long :( row of modifications of units, when one is made better, all the other units need improvements to equalize, and forethat are more modifications required etc etc etc.....

evilbaronatreides Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 would the Atreides reallt need a tank? i mean the mongoose fulfills that quota rather nicely, not to mention the sonic tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 sonic tanks can be suicidalmongooses r 2 slowwith a basic tank it opens up the possibility of a tank rush which is a widly used strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 "sonic tanks can be suicidal"Not if you play them right."mongooses r 2 slow"They're not in the laser tank's league, I'll grant you, but they are damn good when they get where they're going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 and they give as good as they get and also they are the only ones who can shoot air in their group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 i say a tank that fires missiles ought to be good..nothing strong nothing fast.....like teh hark tanks just with a rotataing turrent a bit faster less armour and fire tracking misiles  8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 i just think they need sumthing basicatreides r the first side most people play so they get put off by atreides being so complicatednot inc. me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Well, I thinks that's so good about Emperor, in Dune 2 (Siege Tank), in C&C (Heavy Tank), RA (Medium/Heavy Tank), Dune 2000 (Combat Tank), TS (Titan), RA2 (Grizzly/Rhino Tank) you had (a) standard tank(s).In Emperor you haven't, Mongoose has to low armour, Assault Tank is almost unmanouvarable and fixed turret, Laser Tank is worse against infantery. So you can't just have 1 type of tank for the main force of your army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 The AT are'nt hugely unconventional, just slightly different. Of the 3, they're the simplest for new players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 right cause instead of having weird units that need looking after they have simple units that do the job and don't need baby sitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 no more atr though in the new modwe will have 2 start talking bout Corrino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 you don't have to download it well you can and see how it goes. I'm working on super dune 3 which has fremen become atreides, harkonnen become imperial sardaukar and ordos mercanies. Still working on sub houses but from the combination of units it isn't too bad.I'll release sometime..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
