erjin999 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Not shure, but I would bet its either Ordos...or maybe Hark.Come to think of it, it could be any of the three houses ! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 How about "Touch Me", I just scared Kalony off, he wont play me anymore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkd3th Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Could have sorta poll , I play ord and hark . Don't play atr as a main house . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooM Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I mostly play Hark, because I like the tactical aspect of having to use mixed teams to work efficiently, but when it comes to crushing I mostly use Art, one can use tons of the same units like Minotaurus to kick ass!Ord is also great to play with, just their style makes it worth playing them, and yet again a tactical aspect that comes with them, rushing is not an option.i dont know what the most played house is, but the most of us play in a house...hehe....or is any1 able to play outdoor? at the beach? with the blue ocean, the palms, the girls? saying dont touch me now, i wanna play emp? or saying: oh my god, u need to touch me now, coz kalony beated me again and again....im tired of playing him...he is soooo gooood.....hmmm ok, this all doesnt matters to what the most played house is...heheHF AND C YALL ONLINE AT ORDS SERVERKALONYI actually played in a friends backyard once on a chair on the middle of the lawn using my Laptop with a WIFI card installed, was quite funny because playing with a touchpad instead of a mouse is quite tricky.

Apollyon Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 You always need a mix of any unit type if you're against a decent player 1v1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I actually played in a friends backyard once on a chair on the middle of the lawn using my Laptop with a WIFI card installed, was quite funny because playing with a touchpad instead of a mouse is quite tricky.Tell me about it. Laptops are impossible to play on with touchpads. That and the fact that they tend to run at higher resolutions and the one I had gave me issues on resizing screen, making online play lag if I tried it. (1600 * 1400 approx, me thinks)How can we make a poll about this (most popular houses, not laptops ::)) ? Is it the same as starting a thread ?

DooM Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 You always need a mix of any unit type if you're against a decent player 1v1.True, like Minotaurus need anti air support if attacked by orni's, gunships or EITS's, but mainly they are effective against any type of ground unit, from infantry to big ass tanks, their speed is their only drawback...

veK Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 That and the fact that they tend to run at higher resolutions and the one I had gave me issues on resizing screen, making online play lag if I tried it. (1600 * 1400 approx, me thinks)so what resolution do you usually play?it's 1600x1200 btw and I play with 1600x1200 on a 20" TFT Display... and the game runs quite good even with an old videocard. but i guess this might be cause of the 64bit cpu and the fast ram i got inside my monster pc ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 online play usually means that 800 X 600 is the highest size you can go up to before lag comes in on 4 player games. For people that really lag, 640 X 480 I think is the lowest, is what we recommend. I play at 800 X 600 on my 19". Offline I play at 1280 X 1024.Thats why the laptop would not really be playable online. Thats what I have found so far anyway, higher resolutions increase lag.If everyone had fast internet (>256k) then maybe I would say any resolution would be ok...

jeff2429 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 To me I'd say either Ordos or Hark is the most played house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totalnerd Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I say the sardauker are definately the best subhouses.but for the main house I use atriedes cause they have the snipers and the minotaurs.although the harkonen gun platform flying thing (don't remmember name) is pretty nice.

I am posting so much because until I work out how to play from CD, I will not have much luck playing online. I am still working on it and am making some progress. I will continue to support E:BFD as best I can. Enjoy, and know that Erjin is looking down on you when you are playing online http://62.131.170.215:4005/ 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk134567 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I use house atredies as the main house.house atredies cannot be rush cause of the krindjal, and the snipers are useful against infantry.minos are effective against all types of units execpt air.
