[Timenn]

playerap, already told, but stop writing in that 'chatlanguage'. You may use the spellchecker.Hmm, it counts also for some other people...

[playerap]

o he is well if ud put the things back i would know

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

But back to topic...

Yes, I found once Atreides repair vehicle as Ordos but I forgot this one. And invisible once I found too. But the best was when I haven`t scouts yet and I drive with laser on crate that made all map clear.

[Timenn]

Hmm, it's useful, I think, to send out scouts (counts for all houses) at the beginning. First build barracks, then build 5/6 scouts (for every edge/corner) and then build some chemical inf (or snipers/flamers) and out them at the entrance so no scout can pass. (I mean: Without being in the range of the chemical inf). It's very valuable to know the enemies base (all of it) and the enemy doesn't know it from you. Makes alot of difference against NIAB.

I build most times after the barracks a factory (and then outpost (don't underestimate that one!) and then a refinery, fremen camp (or sard barracks) and another refinery). After the factory I build 15 Dust Scouts + 3 Laser Tanks, and then again some (10) Dust Scouts. Then I start working at the main defense, Kobra's.

And further all high technical things (Projectors, NIAB, Deviator)... Maybe this strategy can help people having problems with the rushes in the beginning. ;)

not bad use scouts there the best not a mech they dont get anough area

[Timenn]

Some good attacks:

- The old engineers in an APC attack: Put 5 Engineers in an APC and move (or move it with an Adv Carryall) to the enemies base, unload and capture the important buildings. Build in the mean while turrets, and when you captured the buildings place them and shoot the rest to pieces. Very devastating 8)

- Place a few Kobra's in the enemies base. And let them destroy as many as possible.

- Build many EITS (Eyes in the Sky) and let them move in formation to the enemies base, somewhat like this:

10 dusties and some lasertanks do not help you al the time, you should see the situation and adapt to it like my enemy is making hordes of minos and kindjal then you SHOULDN'T build those dustscouts and lasertanks but some wormriders or areal assaults.

Dust Scouts and Laser Tanks stay handy, even later in the game. To hunt single targets

[Dante]

I like hunting down single infantry with a dust scout. Much fun. I once got a Sonic tank from a crate while playing Ordos, damn thing was destroyed a few minutes later when a repair vehicle would have saved it. THEN I got a repair vehicle in a crate! That is SO annoying! Oh well...win some lose some...

How is the adv. carryall suppose to survive an enemy AA attack?And for all your other tactics, where are you gonna get such a large sum of money from??

Where are gonna find a single target from? In your dreams?!!

*ahem* Harvesters *ahem*

[Devastator_Mech]

Ahem, a harvester alone? Are you a dumbass or something?

[Desert_Eagle25]

Ppl, cant watch their harvesters forever..

[Devastator_Mech]

A command with a brain will always leave some units to protect the harvester.

[Edric O]

Unfortunately, Carryall pilots don't have brains. It's in the job requirement or something ;D

Often a Carryall will take a Harv to a spice field far, far away...

[Edric O]

Besides, Laser Tanks and Dust Scouts can take care of the Harvester's escorts most of the time, since people don't leave their entire army to protect their Harvs...

Indeed, they sometimes really piss me off by transporting my harvey to the enemy spice field.

No, an assault tank or mongoose will easily hanndle a laser tank or dust scout or even both together.

[Edric O]

Hahahahahahaha! Yeah sure...

I can kill an Assault Tank with a Laser Tank without getting a single scratch! (not that it matters, the Las Tank self-repairs anyway)

Same goes for Mongooses. Their missiles are a pain, but a Mongoose is too slow to survive a Las Tank.

The Las Tank is the best early anti-tank vehicle 1 on 1... but when you have larger numbers (10+) it gets much harder to maneuver, so Las Tanks are much less useful.

[Devastator_Mech]

Bullshit, once a Laser tank is hit by another anti-tank weapon, don't talk about the maneuvability, talking about if you could start its engine again!!!

[Edric O]

A Hark Assault Tank couldn't hit a Las Tank if its life depended on it... which it does. :) You just go around and around and around...

As for the Mongoose, if you hit it once or twice with the laser before your Las Tank is hit by one of its missiles, you can kill it even with your Las Tank standing still (or almost).
