What's your favourite unit?

Dune 2 on the Amiga, I am shure it wasnt stealth.  :-

The Ordos saboteur.....

The Dune 2 Ordos Saboteur was only invisible in certain versions of the game. Otherwise its image is a grey, fast moving light infantry

What do you mean by

Ordos Saboteur was only invisible in certain versions of the game

? Do you mean the versions for different systems or what? (yeah I know the topic's kind of old, but the Dune II discussion is overall progressing at a slow pace ;))

Well, as for favorite units:

Sonic Tank has a devastating weapon with a very good range, but still a pack of Devastators will probably be more efficient, BUT not unless they face an Ordos army with Deviators that may enable the self-destruction of these deviated Harkonnen monsters...

Looks like the Harvester's the best :) Collects Spice and squishes infantry.

BTW, do you know that the Deviator in Dune II works that way that it changes units' owner to Ordos, and not to the Deviator's owner? I found it out when, playing as Harkonnen, captured the Ordos factory and intended to use the Deviator/Devastator attack team against the Atreides suckers (mission 8 ). That was a kind of nasty surprise to see AT units just become OR ones :O

[stefanhendriks]

did not know that. I dislike that the deviator only turns units into urs for a period of time though ;) Never made the deviator that useful really imo.

Best unit ever: Rocket Launcher

Worst units:

Fremen support

Saboteur

they suck big time compared to the special weapon of Harkonnen/Sardaukar

thats why i fixed THAT issue in my version of Dune :P

Now now, I think the deviator (vs. the comp as there was no mplayer) was the best of the three special units. The sonic tank was realy good, the devastator was good but I think it wasn't special enough (it was more like an extra powerful siege tank). However with the deviator i've managed to beat entire missions by using enemy tanks to kill each other and kill enemy turrets.

[Beonid]

Sonic Tank for sure

[Dominic]

I like Ordos light infantry the best. I just can't resist the urge to spend all my money on those guys. With the green colour and everything, priceless.  :D

[Warlord]

Id have to say...the devestator. Who could resist detonating in the center of an enemy base when you have money like Fort Knox?

[sandworm]

I think its the ornithopter, very powerful, fast as hell and it takes like 4 rocket turrets to take it down. Theres no other effective unit. The siege tank is the second best unit. they are the best for assault. they can take down ANYTHING

[Kefka2200]

I like the sonic tank, but the devastator and siege tanks in Dune2 are really good.  I dont know the siege tank is more intimidating I think.

[Dunenewt]

I don't see how anything can be better than the Sonic Tank in Dune II.
