OnAMission Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 What is your personal record for watching worms eat enem harvesters in one feast.My personal record is 4 AI harvesters by 1 worm in a space of about 30 seconds, almost got a fifth but it narrowly escaped thanks to its carryall. Great fun to watch! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I never really looked at the AI's harvesters.I lost about 8 in 1,5 to 2 minutes myself ones, can tell you that isn't funny >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza02 Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 You know what really kicks me, at the very start of a game getting my only harvester eaten AND i was using 2 thumpers to keep it away, so i had to restart :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I know how that feels. I am also one of the persones who never get's a spare harvester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAMission Posted May 10, 2002 Author Share Posted May 10, 2002 How come u don't get another harvester??? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Because it takes a very loooong time before you get a new one. So my experience...About the worms. Though that they dissappeared after 3 snacks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Practice with worms on "high". There where 2 or 3 worms, all going towards my harvesters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAMission Posted May 13, 2002 Author Share Posted May 13, 2002 Nice. Its so much easier to avoid the worns when u've got an otpost though. The EVA only says "Worm Sign" When the worm is on the screen. A bit l8 when its right next to u're harvester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Yep, but they trick you you know ;DUsually they pass by your harvesters without eating them, so you're used to thet white dot next to your harvesters. Then when you are focussing your attention on another part of the map, all of a sudden it hits you . . . . . . . . "worm attack !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Something odd and a bit tricky I've done once or twice (not really profitable to do regularly), build a trike and let it distract the worms that's wanting to eat you harvestors. You won't have time to play around running away from the little bugger in the middle of a fight, but during troop buildup it works magic. I think worms are probably your worst enemy in Dune 2000 because they're so frigging annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAMission Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 I find if u move u're harvesters on to rock and keep them still. After a while they go away and annoy the AI harvesters instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 But you miss much solaris then, for all that time they couldn't harvest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAMission Posted May 15, 2002 Author Share Posted May 15, 2002 At least at some point u can still harvest and it doesn't cost u 1500 for a new harvester. And the worms hang around by the AI bases generally for the rest of the game. Pestering their income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Hmm, a full load is worth 700, you need only 2 (ok some more) full harvesters to repay that one that was swallowed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAMission Posted May 17, 2002 Author Share Posted May 17, 2002 but u lose the spice that harvester had, if u haven't got a starport or heavy factory u're buggered ande in the time taken to build or for one to get delivered, the worm would have been on his way elsewhere ne way.

Mentat_Li Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 In early part of the game,thre are zillions of worms!Later....not even a dead worm can be found! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHydra Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Worms eating harvesters? don't remember me... Once, in the Atreides mission where you start with 2 bases, I had about 8 harvesters... Started a massive attack on Harkonnen... Nearly succeeded... But heared ''worm attack' quite a lot... I thought some troopers or something like troopers were eaten, but when i came back, I had no money, and all my harvesters were eaten :( Sold turrets to get enough money... and was destroyed by a small hark raid :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeLeto Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 What? It's true. At least it does for me. Do I have the only version of the game where worms actually go to thumpers and stay there? ??? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
