MrFrodo Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 I've just started playing Dune2000, and since the new features are so much like C&C, I wanted to know if the spice slowly regenerates like the tiberium? Or is that it if they run out for the level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Spice itself spread out in the map goes away when it's harvested, but comes back slowly via spice flowers - they blow up (watch your units, they will get hurt if around the explosion) and make more spice. The longer they sit there without being epxloded the "juicier" they get, and the more spice comes out. Now the spice harvested goes into your refinery, and if the refinery is full then whatever spice after that, that is harvested, is lost. That's why you want to build silos to allow you to hold more spice. But it doesn't slowly rise or decrease without harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Yes ;DAnd you can shoot the spice bowls also down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Silos...lazy players build them.There's a better tactic. Have 2 refineries (you'll know why) you have lots of cash, but silos take up concrete, space, increases targets for the enemy to shoot, and consumes power.When you have full spice, and your harvy unloads, build something expensive (Build an MCV or another refinery), and then when the harvy finishes unloading cancel the refinery. You get the money (none lost) and build 0 silos.I'm not saying you are lazy players, but I see no point in silos (thanks RA2 and Emperor for getting rid of that max credits system).

Acriku Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 If you have time in a game to do that everytime the guy says silos needed, then you have time to build more windtraps and concrete. Besides, it takes up the time you need to build units or build buildings which you preciously need in most games. Silos take little power and one spac of concrete, they are worth it imo.

Timenn Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 My silos are spending the money to Carryalls and extra MCV's (you won't believe, but sometimes I have about 10, and 50 Carryalls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 I spend money on harvs and carryalls, which of course results in more money, which i use to build more harvs and carryalls, which...AGGH! ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
