Guest jcross Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 hi, would anyone be so nice to give me (and all the other people who want the special units but couldn`t pre-order) to give me the special code printed on the card given you by your authorized retailer? You need an serial number for it to unlock, and I really want the units! Please???? (if you don`t want to do it, explain me why, pls.)J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 I don't think the number works more then once and would probably be disabled if it was used too often which sorta makes giving it out pointless. You can still use them in skirmish if you use the Rules.txt method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheatah Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Actually, you can even use them in the campaign if you set the holdback value to "false" in the rules.txt file, but this only works for the 3 Air defense platforms, I haven't tried it for any other unit/building (although i found entries for a "scavenger" for all houses and the large windtrap)Cheatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Albatross Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 Yeah, that annoys me. It seems the AI is allowed to build them, but we are not. The units are even IN THE MANUAL, they are just disabled for human use. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonus Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 the AI can build them? funny I haven't seen any of them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 I was wondering where those units wentand yes comp can build themI saw the ADP 3 times and the AA Mine at least 5 times haven't seen the Atreidis one tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albatross Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 I've seen the Harkonnen ADP quite a few times. Never seen the Anti-Air mine, but then again, I always PLAY Ordos.If that anti-air drone is the Atreides special unit, then it's my computer's personal CRACK. Those damn things end up everywhere. I don't DARE build any Advanced Carryalls, and I grow weary of using AA-troop filled APC's to guard my Spice fields (the worms always attack me, duh, even though the computer will spread shit out all over the sands).

cyclonus Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 Yeah you're right I saw an HK ADP... not very amazing an elite sardaukar or two can easily kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 If you give the computer enough time it will eventually build them but it usually takes a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonus Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 True, but those units suck, from what I've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danieru Posted June 23, 2001 Share Posted June 23, 2001 I didnt pre-order the game, but I did get a Swedish EA newletter about to pre-order E-BFD and in it it said that the once that had pre-orderd the game would have the 3 special units when they got the game, now comes the important part it also stated that the special units would be made available for everyone after 1 moth!
