Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 You could just read all the strategies here.
Chaos_Storm Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 Welcome to the Ordos fold. Do read the strategies around here, but to start with - Ordos need good micromanagement, tactics and strategy. This is no house for the inexperienced RTS players. Learn to manage your attention efficiently. Ordos units are highly specialised and their vehicles (excepting the Kobra) cannot squash infantry so unlike Harkonnen, you need to bring a good mix of units to take down whatever they throw at you. Don't be afraid to use suicide units (which can concentrate a lot of firepower in a short space and time - read about them) and to run away when the situation looks bad. Both Atreides and Harkonnen front line vehicles (Mongoose, Minotaurus, Assault Tank, Devastator) are too slow to run away from or chase Ordos vehicles (have Advanced Carryalls around your Kobras to get away quick). This fact and regeneration should always be on your mind when thinking tactically. Ordos don't have any front line units and AA defences are easily overwhelmed by a large airforce. This is where Subhouses can help, or you may wish to choose allies to be even more insidious. Reading 'BEST SUBHOUSES' may give you ideas. :D 'Enemy weaknesses are our advantages. Enemy strengths are our advantages' :D. The latter is true when you use Chaos Lightning and Deviators. Read about them.Hope you start winning! Get used to the Ordos style of mind through Skirmishes and the Campaign first. On Hard, you may be stretched often if you give the AI a chance.
Virtugon Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Is Ordos a "rush"house or more a defensive house?(I won with your starategy's ;D TNX!)
Black_Emperor Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 guess its more of a rush house rather than a defensive because of all their high speed vehicles
Virtugon Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 ORDOS ROCKS!!!!Way better then Atreidis!I can win with ordos, but not with Atreidis, So my clan is now officialy allied with Ordos ;D
gunner154 Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 guess its more of a rush house rather than a defensive because of all their high speed vehiclesIt's defensive. You have to carefully deploy your kobras when crossing a bridge and getting intercepted by Minotaurii.
Virtugon Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Does a kobra when it is in position, has a further fire range than a mino?
playerap Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 no they dont mino easiley beat range but on hill kob wins also they have more d than mino and also they generate there life back ;D
jacobdouds Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Virtugon, good to see another Ordos supporter, we welcome you.
playerap Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 also the ord have very good ways of attacking i use them all the time do any of u play on line my name is playerap rank 45 of the clan m3t4l wich is rank 10 also under my other nam i am in hobbitz wich is ranked 1 i usually dont make any kobz only dusties and lasers
Virtugon Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 I have one question: Ordos has regenaration technologie, so the vehicles and persons can repair themselfs. If you play with Ordos, do sub-houses have that same ability then?
playerap Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 nope sry most side houses heal there self like guild does and so does ix just make a repair vehicle and repair it when ur using ix just make a hologram of a repair vehicle and repair ur ix projecter elites do when they grow levels and frmen do to when they grow levels
Virtugon Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 I don't want to be a partybooper, but Ordos doesn't have a repair vehicle... :-/
Chaos_Storm Posted March 15, 2002 Posted March 15, 2002 That's because they don't need a repair vehicle - Ordos vehicles regenerate at Lv0. If you want to repair Guild Makers, then I suggest you project a repair vehicle or capture an Atreides factory. All other subhouse vehicles can regenerate at Lv0.Ordos infantry learn Regeneration at Lv1. Atreides and Harkonnen infantry learn it at Lv2. Subhouse infantry learn it at Lv3.In fact, Ordos veterancies are geared towards making units last longer first, then upgrading attack. All Ordos infantry gain an Armour bonus at Lv2, then an Attack bonus at Lv3. Ordos hover vehicles and Dust Scouts seem to grow almost invincible from minor melees as they all gain an Armour bonus at Lv1. Dust Scouts at Lv2 have a 2ndary Armour bonus making them withstand so much punishment. Lv2 Laser tanks become illusive as they have more Armour and Range. Elite APCs are virtually indestructable to all but a laser shot or an overwhelming concentration of Anti-Vehicle fire due to the double Armour bonus with a speed boost.
