Guest Viper Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 I just wondered with how many of the Sub-Houses can you ally? And which Sub-House would you prefer with which House. Me I`d like very muvh Ordos comboed up with The Guild and The Ix. I bet Ix will have some awesome hi tech stuff. I also would enjoy the company of a Niab tank in a hit and run strike!!!

davo Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 You can ally with up to 2 sub House.Since I'll prolly play as the Atreides first, I would select the Fremen and the other will depend on the storyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Viper Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 Do you think the Fremen will be as lousy as in Dune2k??? In that case I think I`ll stay far away from them. However if you can use wormriders,that I have heard of,the Fremen will be somewhat more valuable... What do you think will happen if you will try to ally with both, say Sardaukar and Fremen???

Guest Mithrandir Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 The fremen wern't that bad in Dune2k! I liked their combonations of weapons for infantry and tanks. I would have to choose the harkos, with possibly Ix and sardaurkar, depending on the strength of the harko units in the new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungers Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 The Fremen are gonna kick ass!!! You can set up thumpers to attract worms to certain locations (Bonus = worms are massive in Emperor just like they should be!!), also as mentioned earlier they have the wormriders. Does anyone know what the Tleilaxu units look like??? Will they have loads of Gholas??, 'cause they won't have any machine weaponary. Do you think you'll be able to restore dead units on the battlefield?? Is there gonna be a face dancer unit which lets you mimick the oppossing armies and infiltrate their base undetected?? That would be cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tag Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 I think the Fremen and Sardaukar both will be considerably stronger than as in the previous Dune games. One of my few disappointments from ye olde DUNE II was the fact that Fremen and Sardaukar weren't much (if any) more powerful than regular troopers.As for the Tleilaxu units, I know of only one. The Contaminator, I think it's called. From what I recall I think it "converts" enemy infantry. I put converts in quotations because I believe it actually transforms the unit as well.What houses would I choose? I'd play Atreides and ally with the Sardaukar (surprise, surprise) first and either the Ixians or the Fremen second depending on any ideology clashes.--Bashar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sardaukar Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 Atreides with fremen and either the guild or Ix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Atreides of course with Fremen. I would like to ally with Sardaukar also but from what I am understanding about E:BFD that may backfire because of the difference between whom you chose as an ally. Allying with a certain Sub-House may make another Sub-House in fact turn against you in a later campaign. So really your allies have to be willing allies no hired guns to the highest bidder. This is going to make for an interesting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrandir Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 All infantry doesn't sound like such a good thing to me, but I would like fremen allies. The new info on the Ixian Projector unit makes it a lot better. It copies attacks! Sounds like a good thing when you make them devastators! All that power! I can't wait for the game!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobra_king Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 I am proboly going to pick the Ordos with the Ix and Tlielaxu. And by the way why does every1 pick sardaukar and the freman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahdi Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 In campaign mode you cannot ally with the guild no matter what house you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kier+the+spice+man Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 In dune 2k 1 of the hark missions you had to kill the freemen and the atrades in that mission the freemen lived in these caves do think this will be the same in emp battle for dune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
