geidiprimedeathhandmissle Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Harkonnen, Ordos, Atreides. Three houses, all powerfull, one winner. What house do you think is the strongest. Harkonnens have Devestators. Ordos have Deviators. Atreides have Sonic Tanks. All the houses have a weakness and a strength. What house do you prefer?

Edric O Posted March 15, 2001 Share Posted March 15, 2001 Ordos are by far the best. ;DBtw, please join the Ordos-Harkonnen alliance (click on my signature to go to our page).:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted April 6, 2001 Share Posted April 6, 2001 The Ordos of course. Edric knows what he's talking about. I mean where is the challenge of other houses when you have a deviator. A sonic tank is at the front of an Atreides Infantry rush, u deviate it and use it to kill the infantry. When it is no longer under your control the base defenses destroy it. When U r attacking an enemy Harkonnen base deviate a devestator and make it self destruct in the middle of a cluster of structures and while they send forces to stop the devestator before it blows, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sidewinder69 Posted April 10, 2001 Share Posted April 10, 2001 hehe...you guys don't know what you're talking about, hmm? House Harkonnen is the best House in the game and we've got Devastators and Death Hands to prove that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobias Posted April 11, 2001 Share Posted April 11, 2001 atreides ofcourse. atreides is a noble house.people are more loyal, ordos can't buy atreides supporters, and harkonnen will havea hard time using terror on them. but harkonnen forces can easily convert toatreides, and ordos units can be bought, soatreides have the most advantages.

CenturionV Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 I dont care whos really noble or not i like the harkonnan because they have lotsa brute force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sardaukar Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 the atreides of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrandir Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 Jeez people, you gotta go with brute force, and the Harkos have that! The Ordos are just plain weak! A force of 4 or 5 devastators can really do a ton of damage to anything, and the Death hand missle is priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 214751 Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 i've noticed that airstrikes do a lot more damage than deathhands. also, those "useless" saboteurs can turn invisible and kill your devastators before they can do any damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrndir Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 Wait wait wait, since when do sabatours take out units?! They're only good for buildings. I suppose you are right about the air strike, and the Death Hand isn't very accurate. I still don't like the ordos, but maybe I'll switch to the Atredies.

Guest 214751 Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 as far as i can remember saboteurs can take out tanks. i still like Atreides better because ordos don't have a really good tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 214751 Posted May 5, 2001 Share Posted May 5, 2001 also, devastators have a really short range and are so slow a couple of missile tanks can take out a lot of them. but they are good at taking down bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroko Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 Harkonnen rule.Ordos lack brute strength, and while the deviator is defintely better than the sonic tank and devastator, the lack of a steady suppy of missile tanks makes the ordos fall behind in big battles.The Harkonnen rule with giant forces of sardaukar, combat tanks, missile tanks and devastators (AS long as the opponent is not ordos).That's my personal opinion.-Shiroko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted May 8, 2001 Share Posted May 8, 2001 The Harkonnen have really slow devastators(are we there yet?) and death hand needs a missle guidance system. Plus the death hand does not do as much damage as an airstrike. The Ordos have nothing more than CHEAP tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrandir Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 I'll agree that the devastators are slow, and the sonic tanks do do a lot of damage, but you can't destroy a death hand missle with missle tanks or missle turrets! The orthinopters go down pretty quick when they hit a group of turrets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Viper Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I think that in Dune2 and Dune2k it rally doesn`t matter that much which House you choose. They mostly have the same units annyway. I think this is quite lousy by Westwood, to not invent any more units. Emperor, on the other hand, looks great. One of the big thumbs up with Emperor is that all the Houses will have unique units for their House. The Houses will share very few units... yada yada yada... in Empereor I will choose Ordos mostly I guess. I have a thing for fast hit and run tactics. I only beg to god that the harvester of Ordos will be faster too...Any comments???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrandir Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I agree most definatly that the ordos will have to be better. There are difference in the units of Dune2k though, speed and stuff like that. . .The harkos look like they will be a good choice in Emperor, although there is not much to go on yet. How about the subhouses? What do you think of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Yeah that is a good point(units being the same in each House) but you still have to fight for your House. Units unique to each side in the Emperor does make it better(among other things) than Dune 2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formloff Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 Concernig the Sub- Houses I am almost oyt of my mind that Westwood doesn`t update their Emperor page more often. It`s acctually Sub- house month and I`m still stuck reading about the Guild every damn day. AAAAAAAAAARRGH... Will the Sub- House units affect the game very much? What do you guys think?

Guest 214751 Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 can you get sardaukar in practice games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mithrandir Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 You can't really get them in practice games, unless you have the crates on. Then you'll get an engineer, two troopers and two sardaukar. Other than that, I don't think so. It kinda sucks really, that you can get fremen and not sardaukar in the game. That' what makes E:BFD so GREAT! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
