House_Corrino Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Atriedes have the best defenses in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaban_emperor Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Yeah but if your against Ordos some mortar troopers,kobras,an Eye in The Sky aircraft,30 dust scouts,some laser tanks and tons of infantry Atreides could be taken down easily. :P (I'm a supporter of Atreides but thats a fact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Don't forget Saboteurs. With only a couple of Snipers, saboteurs could get close due to long reloading time for Snipers. Same with Chem Troopers. But a Kobra is best for dislodging Atreides Infantry positions on Infantry Rock.With Harkonnen, Inkvine means doom to such positions. Flame tanks (and Buzzsaws if you don't have Infantry Rock) can also take down shallow Kindjal formations, with a few casualties though.Then you can think about Sub-houses: Fremen, Sardaukar, Infiltrators, Contaminators (only against Kindjal positions with very few Snipers/Light Infantry), Guild Makers (if they can get close enough without dying to Kindjal - quite easy if you allow casualties or decoys).Basically said, infantry alone can be wiped out with numerous methods. No position is invincible but mixing vehicles (and air units) with Infantry can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezertfish Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I have never seen/used contaminators even against lone kindjals. The most useless unit in the game(except perhaps the NIAP flyer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_of_arrakis Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 what is the role of the contaminator in emp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 what is the role of the contaminator in emp?Contaminator: Tleilaxu antipersonnel-only bioweapon that replicates by infecting its victims. Instant-kill melee attack only. Rarely seen in online play - two to four Buzzsaws/trikes/dust scouts will put paid to this headache. However, in the campaigns you can be guaranteed that they will have Leeches (discussed at length elsewhere) for company.All Tlielaxu, however, are owned by air-defense platforms...

leech13 Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 you really need to have maybe 10 kindjal, 15 snipers, 10-13 mongeese, 7-10 minos, 5+ sonic tanks on overlooking cliffs, 5-8 thopters, 25 scouts, and in my opinion 10-20 fedaykin and alot of projected enemy units, especially projected laser tanks against the ordos because the projected laser works just as well as a real laser. substitutes fedaykin with saurds and projected saurds :) ;D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo_I Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Yeah but if your against Ordos some mortar troopers,kobras,an Eye in The Sky aircraft,30 dust scouts,some laser tanks and tons of infantry Atreides could be taken down easily. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo_I Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 I have never seen/used contaminators even against lone kindjals. The most useless unit in the game(except perhaps the NIAP flyer)Ok, i was under the impression that guild had NO air units in the emp game. Are you talking about an AI mission??

Timenn Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Yes it is an unit of a Campaign Mission. And it is just an unit to decorate the mission. So it won't count for real units... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Emperor Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 (All Tlielaxu, however, are owned by air-defense platforms... )all subhouse units except for the sardaukar are owned by the ADP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 And even then only the Sardaukar Elite then.And about the Atreides defense, they are good. But very immobile... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaban_emperor Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Huh,guess ou are right Frodo I,but yu could make a dust scout and laser tank rush.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
