Spice Blow! Bad for your army?

[Klobbersaurus414]

One little feature of the game that i didnt know was that the spice blow would injure/kill your infantry. I discovered this when i was moving a kindjal over to a peice of infantry rock, he was immersed in a cloud of spice, i cant remember if he died or not, but if you see a bubble of pre-spice mass dont bring your infanty near it, (cavalry are just fine in spice blows).

Spice hurt your units in Dune 2000 and I think Dune 2 too.

In Dune II the unit that ran over it automatically died no matter what it was I think. In Dune 2000/Emperor it gives splash damage.

The thing that sucks about infantry rushes is running over multiple spice flowers. Ahh! My whole army was down to two weak light's by the time it got to the enemy base. But one good thing about infantry and spice flowers are you can send an infantry unit on the flower to blow it up, which gives you more spice and you only wasted an infantry unit.

or u culd just get a unit 2 shoot it. :P

Spice blooms are incredibly important in the game, the spice wont regrow without them and the blooms always remain stationary. If you control the area around the spice blooms you will have a constant sorce of spice :)

Yes spice blows do hurt your army just like everyone is saying. My advice...be careful when moving stealth infantry like fremen through spice fields. Getting them on a blow because you aren't looking is a big pain.

for some reason normal spice hurts infantry. not spice blows just spice. should it not heal infantry?

[Klobbersaurus414]

Youre right, it should have a healing effect, but maybe if they overdose on the spice or spice by-products they can become dependant or overdose.

[netnifty]

or maybe its just a bug.....

[bob_fox]

NetNifty's probably right. There's this saying: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

[Klobbersaurus414]

I resent that! Were all smart nerds here!

What are you talking about, Klobbersaurus? I'm not making fun of people on this board.
