how to make good use of the deviator

[exatreide]

or it could simpley pull it in evre direction with such force that its crushed under its own wait.

[Guest Ordos_Yogurt]

turned into another black hole? Well lets move back a bit. What would happen on the Guild ship? all crew and the ship will be taken over, and forced to create more of the termiinator 2.

[Acriku]

DUDE! Yogurt, if you had actually read my post I said I sprayed LIQUID IRON on your T2000 or whatever. Jeez dude, get your facts straight.

[daniel]

yah .......dat would wrk...nothing wouldd happen and then we launch it into the sun...theres no way it would be able to leave the gravitational pull.and guys stop talking about gibberish....remeber wut happened to the board (to this person named MR. loki) ????

[Guest Ordos_Yogurt]

Good point there! What started out as a Deviator strategy ended with trying to find a way to destroy terminator 2

[firefly]

Well we all know the reason why Yogurt. You know, the gas only affects mechanical equipment, not organisms, or structures.

Hm, I think this is one thing they messed up. In the cutscene before the Ordos heighliner mission, deviator gas is explicitly defined as an anti-personnel agent ("those who breathe it are driven into a killing rage..."), yet in the rest of the game, it only affects vehicles. Which, one would think, have some sort of NBC/environmental protection as standard.

[glow=red,2,300]Yeah. That sucks[/glow]

[Guest batlscout]

You guys are all nerds why do i care about some robot and how to kill it... it fiction!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean i came here to find strategys for emperor not how to kill that dude from terminator. pul-eeeeze

[Digital Guerrilla]

Man relax this is the way we do we go off topic and then come back on topic it's the FED2k way man. Get an injection from the Ordos medic or something.  ;D

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Yeah, in FEDK2k people always lose the topic. But eventually they'll come back to it. :)

:-X  ok i type up all the walkthroughs and into my website but somehow i accidently send it to westwood but at least i got a backup ;D so if u want to see it its up somewhere cause i just read ur idiot replies and they were funny but not too much u guys should get a life and focus on the game strategies ??? besides the best way to use a deviator is to kill of the players buildings wit ur tanks but leave 1 building there then use the deviator on ur opponents tanks harvesters and then destroyed the building but  the units u  use wit the deviator is now under ur pernament  control at least try to take out the buildings and keep the harvesters alive then use the deviator.i did that and my enemy thought he was gonna get his units back but he didnt do he lost haha ;D :-[ ??? :( :D >:( ??? :o

[nemafakei]

Other than the painful absence of punctuation, I hasten to point out to you that the strategies you have mentioned are already in Fed2k. If you wish to have a go at us or make judgements, consider the whole story, and also please make your observations in intelligible English.

[BOUNTYHUNTER296]

new evil superweapon>>>>>>>>>>>a psychic-enhanced mind controlling  detector that can fly and do horrible things on ur enemies like mind controlling all the units into ur slaves ;D

[BOUNTYHUNTER296]

it could be a dumb idead u decide if it goes down and should be in the game RA2 instead

[BOUNTYHUNTER296]

never mind its already done maybe should be in another game Yuri is psychic buti like yuri prime who mind control buildings mmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty buildings

[nemafakei]

It's a possibility - but what you say is just a deviator in the air.

[s2]

yah that is pretty weird and if it ever did it would just deviat caryalls.

[nemafakei]

On the other hand, that would be useful.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Deviating carryalls...

Bye bye income!!! :D

[gunner154]

b funny if u culd capture buildings with the deviator, imagine the other player panicing trying 2 tell all of his units 2 stop shootin his con yard!

units do not automatically attack an enemy structure. only units. things that move (other than turrets).

[Duncan]

that is true units dont shoot agains buildings only shoot against other units and defense buildings

and the deviator is nice trhe way he is ::) ::)

if you used him correct you can be disrupted the forces of your enemy

but a deviator turret was nice  ::) ::)

[Chaos_Storm]

Deviators are the ultimate bane to strong armour units (especially the Devastator and the Minotaurus) in base defence if you send a decoy in first.

I was once playing against an atreides player whose base had only 1 entrance (cliffs all round). He had Minos and a Sonic Tank as his entrance defence supported with 2 rocket turrets (the rest were further back). I sent a single laser tank to distract the Minos. Then the Deviator comes in and targets the Sonic Tank. The victim then destroys all the Minos before being destroyed by a near by rocket turret.

Deviators can also silently steal enemy harvesters. I don't think you get the 'Harversters under attack' warning when they get deviated. Leaving a few around an undefended spice field in use can truly damage enemy income. The alternative is to use advanced carryalls to pick them up and run away with them (not to your units to attack else that will give it away).

[House_Corrino]

Deviators are great for harvester hunting.  The also make great distractions for attacks.  Your opponent will focus much of his energy to destroy the deviators, and then your las tanks will destroy his entire base before he kills all the deviators.

[Chaos_Storm]

Hmm interesting, Deviators as decoys. Yes I suppose they could as they can withstand quite a lot of punishment before being destroyed. Throw in Dust Scouts, Chem Troopers or Saboteurs to whitle down infantry.

[House_Corrino]

Deviators aren't that expensive either.
