nemafakei Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 What, in your views are the best AT units to make a standard ground base assault on an enemy?I think Minos with a few mongooses, and a sprinkling of infantry support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Two Minos, 4 mongooses, a few snipers, a dozen kinjal and a few repair veichles. That's my favorite small ground assault force. A few waves of those groups will break through most defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThopterFanatic Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I just send wave after wave of minos at 'em until they crack. or, pressure 'em with thopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omega_doom Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Man, you don`t have much choice assaulting with AT units only (this house handles 6 walking/crawling vehicles). Just mix`em all. However, most inexperienced players won`t defend from mass minotaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted November 13, 2001 Author Share Posted November 13, 2001 Minos seem to be the consensus. They are easily the best against an AI (slowly and surely, thir defences are whittled away...), but obviously need support against aircraft and fast-moving units.

ThopterFanatic Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I sometimes hide a couple fremen next to the Minos, just for insurance. Also, when playing against AI, aload a Sardukar can take down any base, and their cheaper than Minos. ::) ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted November 14, 2001 Author Share Posted November 14, 2001 Any AI base, yes. Humans will always defend better, especially if they see the horde of Sardaukar approaching - and they are far easier to kill. (even en masse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaban_emperor Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 My favorite ground force is.....4 minos,some fremen,5-10 kindjal infantry(depends on how big the base is.)a horde of snipers,4 mongooses,7 iperial elite sardukers,and hordes of light infantry.That is a garunteed win :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 damn.. thopterfanatic has same picture as me... when i saw the topic i thought: When did I type this? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I have my own text color, so i recognize myself, and it's the sandcolor! ;DBut ontopic:For ground is the mino always useful. But Mongooses are quite fast and strong firepower and AA. But building mongooses costs building time, in what time you also could build mino's. Damn those mino-rushes. Still haven't a Atreides anti mino-rush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 mongooses can be pretty good.... and incredibly annoying when the computer uses it cuz the computer constantly sends small groups of units including mongooses to your base... and if accidently the mongoose walks under a carryall it fires at it though it's not even the computers intention to kill the carryall.. and when the mongoose is lucky it also kills a harvester with the carryall together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaban_emperor Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Yup.Once a group of mongooses were shooting at a carryall with a harvester on it,and when the carryall was destroyed,the harvester was still in the air! :oThat was a bug.

Dezertfish Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 maybe there is a way to recreate the situation and have insurance on spice harvesting ;D But maybe thebig worms could still get it... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
