Vanquishing Giedi Prime

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

What is your best strategy on Giedi?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

`Cos I need help!

[Timenn]

For attack or defense?

For defense:

Have enough cobra's for defense and some backup defense (las tanks)

For attack:

No frontal attack, bridges are not big enough. Use a group of Sardaukar in APC's. Carry them with Adv Carryalls, move to a good spot and attack!!

[Edric O]

OMG timenn! That is EXACTLY how I completed the mission! To the word! :O :O :O

Have you been mind reading lately?

[House_Corrino]

Always be prepared for a death hand.  Feds (as always) are a huge help.

[ken124578]

maybe it only happenes to me but...the harkonen always (at least with me) they always nuke the mcv you last deployed.

like, you have an second mcv and you deploy it miles away from your base then they still nuke that second mcv cause its the last one thats deployed.

[House_Corrino]

You should hope they go for your con yard, because it doesn't die if you start repairing.

What is your best strategy on Giedi?

Gunseng_Harkonnen, playing as Ordos? Never. That is very unlike you. But I find that the Sarduakar-APC-Advanced Carryall idea works really well.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

This is so strange that I play by Ordos? I don`t think so

[House_Corrino]

I try to play with all houses, and maximize my skill with each.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Everybody are doing it. It will be strange if I played only with Harkonnen

[Terror]

i finished it with cobra's and laser tanks.... and a bunch of infantry.... kobra's deployed at the end of the bridge giving them an advantage...

[House_Corrino]

Try to concentrate on defense.  Your minor attacks should include hit and run tactics with feds.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Thanks very much I have already did it ;D

[Timenn]

About the nukes... They have fired one time on my factory... But the nuke was no problem. Just repair and when the toxic is gone a engineer

[gunner154]

i got the sardaukar. but im not sure if i got the Tleilaxu. i think i havent got them. but Tleilaxu are good at times. i know most ppl say they suck (sorry for using that word). but the AI doesnt use engineers or repairvehs.

[Terror]

true... that indeed makes the tleilaxu usefull vs. AI...

[House_Corrino]

Isn't anything good against the AI?  The AI never even repairs, so of coarse leeches are good against them.

[Terror]

well... sure.... but listen to this.... perhaps you would not agree with me.... but sometimes i have (in multiple games) a harder time to defeat an AI player than a human player cuz the computers always sends a mixed army.... it will not only send laser tanks or only cobra's.... there are always mortars, chemical troopers, AA troopers and stuff with them so I find it hard to develop a strategy that the AI cannot beat....

[House_Corrino]

Sometimes that happens.

[Timenn]

When you wait a while (a long?) The AI becomes better and sends larger forces... They will begin to become a true enemy

[Terror]

yeah... tell me about it...

[House_Corrino]

The solution: attack quickley.

[Terror]

unless you have to fight 5 comps :-)

[ken124578]

8 player hard.

just an devastater drop and they are dead.
