Stumped as a..uh...pickle?

What would an unpenetrable base be? Expert players say there is no such thing, is it true?

[ordos45]

Every base can be penetrated some just require more finesse than others or a lot of veicles and soldiers. Some try walling themselves in but then their units would be stuck inside, while carryalls would take harvestors out without protection.

[Acriku]

I see your point. Everything has it's advantages and disadvantages.

[foxnerd]

Yeah i defanetly agree with Ordos45 on that one.. i mean you can always get into a base... it is too hard to have the right units at the right places to defend them off. you can defend and defend but sooner or later you are gonna run out of spice or harvies get hunted or have no room for units.. thats my intake on that. :)

[Acriku]

So I guess the saying "The best defense is offense" goes in play here?

[quoudam72]

Yes you can say that and remember it for all your days on Dune.

[Acriku]

What is that suppose to mean Fed? I'm getting mixed signals

For turtles (wall-builders, people who build base defenses/buildings and not alot of units), the key to turret walls is making your openings no more than two tiles wide, with turrets on each side - Since an invisible unit is visible within a one tile radius, they are uncloaked as they try to enter your base. Even if a few get through, just look for smoke - A few survivors will no doubt be badly damaged, and leave a smoke trail.

Well if you are playing online... usually they dont let you use turrets.. so my objective is to get more units than him first and still have alot of money.. and yes MoiDib.,.. offense is the best...

[foxnerd]

lol haha i just wanted to let you know that you are a BiG PiCkLe HeAD.... Sorry i am really bored right now

[quoudam72]

Moidib I was talking about "The best defense is offense" and I was saying remember that when you play.

[Acriku]

Oh ok, thought you were making fun. Hehe :)

"The best defense..."

[bob_fox]

The problem with turrets is that they can easily be outranged by the artillery units. That's why you always need units for base defence.

I agree that there's always a way to over-power a base no matter how well defended it is. There is always a weakness. If there isn't, you're either not playing against a normal human being or you're not looking hard enough.

Anyway, I stopped playing Dune 2000 when Emperor came out. In some ways I like Dune 2000 more, though.

[ordos45]

Personally I like to keep medium or light units near the base front so I can swing around with my heavy hitters.

[exatreide]

I do the same as ordos 45. But i usaly have a Orni strike ready to strike.
