No Spice

[CypressX15]

I'm Defending a base agains the Harkonnen and Tleilaxu on a medium lvl Campaign, the problem is i just took this base about 2 fights ago, an hour and a half battle, and the game saves what spice was harvested and what not in the previous battle, so theres almost no spice on the ground, and i mean almost none, prolly within the 5-6k area.  I figured i would have to try an atreides  rush, which i know so far is near impossible against this computer, anyone got any ideas to help me?

Then you must build some quick units to hunt the wrecked vehicles on the map, and destroy them and get those crates. And make a quick beginning rush to destroy the Harkonnen, before they even have build their Factory.

Just engi rush him! Build an APC ASAP, then fill it with 3 engis and capture him con yard, barracks and factory (or if you do it fast enough he won't even have a factory yet)

Look around for infiltrators, on some maps you can find them lying around.

[Timenn]

You can also win when you have more reinforcements then the other. Especially cause you build up, and the AI doesn't do that that much

[vidiware]

If you have played and conquered almost the whole dune... ull start with so big army that its just to rush poor computer

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

In defence, if you have some beginning units, you can "rush" with them at the beginning. Sometimes I had one unit and go with it and destroy "base", cos it wasn`t base yet.

But enemy should have spice problems too.

and if ur spice income eventually dies u gain spice every minute or so from the great convention or sumthing..

[Timenn]

? I haven't seen that before. I usually stay with my' insufficient funds'

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Yestarday I played on such map and spice finished. And nothing happened, all harvesters just stay in base and I haven`t nothing.

[Timenn]

You mean you didn't got reinforcements of money?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I am talking about spice. Money we have only on Caladan, Giedi and Drakonis, right?

[Desert_Eagle25]

on any map, u consistantly get money for eery period of time u dont get ne cash inflow. but on Caladan,Draconis VI,and Geidi Prime maps the cash consistancy is faster.

[Timenn]

Well, there is no difference between spice and money in Emperor

[Desert_Eagle25]

ok, no diff with spice and money.....ok... ???

[Timenn]

Well, you just get money when you have harvested, the game doesn't care that it is called Spice

[Desert_Eagle25]

oh..yeah..thats just the 'title' of the money...like them crystals of SC

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

It became a little messy. ;)

Facts: on Arrakis we have money when we harvesting but if spice will when I was playing, I hadn`t money reinforcements and both enemy and I had to rely on units we have already made. On other planets we have reinforcements all the time cos we don`t have harvesters.

[Desert_Eagle25]

thats strange...i'e had money reinforcements on arrakis before..hmmm

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, it happened to me only two times that it wasn`t spice on spicefield.

[Timenn]

Yes, it happens to me sometimes when I played 1 map in campaign alot of times
