50 ways to destroy a Mino-rush

[Timenn]

Otherwise, use projections of fedaykin to destroy the repair-vehicles.

[Devastator_Mech]

use any gunships or ornitopher crews of 8 and you can take out most of a mino rush

the maximum that 8 gunships could eliminate is probably a couple of minotauruses, that is nothing comparing to using 8 devastator to stop the rush.

[Devastator_Mech]

Otherwise, use projections of fedaykin to destroy the repair-vehicles.

thats a good idea, but wouldn't using the projection to stop the rush would be better and use the gunships to eliminate the repairer.

[Timenn]

But they can not manouvre that way that they can't be hit by the mino's

[Devastator_Mech]

i mean use a multiple of projection of strong units to stop the rush.

[Black_Emperor]

have you ever even tried that? it barely even takes out a fraction of the rushing army

[Devastator_Mech]

Like thats why I said "a multiple of projected strong units." The minotauruses will take quite some time to reload. Use this only when they're far away from your base, and also mix with some "real" one's. When they're close to your base, obviously use "real" units and the projections at the back as a backup.

Why are you finding ways to destroy a strike force composed from ONE type of unit? I thought it's a Harkonnen tactics.

[Terror]

true.. harkonnen usually can't rely on one type of unit... except gunships and perhaps devastators...

[Black_Emperor]

devestators, gunships, AC, and flametanks

[Caid Ivik]

Harkonnens are weak and laughable.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I didn`t notice

[Caid Ivik]

You aren't playing very often I think...

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Now I play everyday but not on multiplayer.

And Harkonnen have some useful units as lot as other houses they are only not as good to control as Atreides.

[Caid Ivik]

Because they are unusable without good subhouse.

[Timenn]

Stop judging house from your own view! >:( If you don't like a house we don't have to know! >:(

[Black_Emperor]

now lets all laugh at the ppl who like to waste their time cursing at other houses without a purpose

[Terror]

*laughs* die all who curses at harkonnen

[Black_Emperor]

kill those who insult house harkonnen

[Stormwatch]

I use a lot of deployed kobra's. (6-8) especialy since they heal themselves. this works better when their elevated. (4-5)

I also mix in a few deviators and laser tanks. And if its charged, the chaos lightning.

Use the rush against itself!

How many palaces would i need to charge it once about every 2-3 minutes? anyone

[Timenn]

many, many, many. If the speedup bonus still work with that much. But it isn't worth it, cause it needs alot of space and money and it isn't so faster after all

[Chaos_Storm]

I'm usually content with 5 palaces if I can get that much space. Usually this means expanding to a secondary base - which means you need a lot more defence. Do you have the time and resources to make a fully defended base a second time in the Late Game? Also note that Chaos Lightning takes the longest out of the 3 Superweapons to charge up - 6220 game ticks. Death Hand is around 5100~5200 and Hawk Strike is in the 4000s (check in rules.txt).

NB Shouldn't this post be in the Ordos section?

[Terror]

longest? are you sure?

[Timenn]

Please return to the topic. About the mino-rush

Has anyone some strategies left, he/she wants to share for destroying the rush?

[Terror]

no i think we got them all so let's get back to my comment :-)
