Atreides units against Harkonnens

[Seth]

Who do you think has the better units, Atreides and their devastating Minos and Mongoose or the Brutal units of Harkonnen.

I prefer the units of Caladan. they look cool and they kick ass. And by the way what is that face that is on the Minotaurus head is that some kind of a Hawk or something. and in the mongoose it looks more like a lion than a mongoose aint it????? 8)

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

That is the Atreides "logo" or something like that.

[nemafakei]

AT are best for my tactics, but others may be better with other units.

[Seth]

And why the hell did they place a flag on top i mean it doesnt even wave with the wind its like card board!!!!!

[s2]

Yah the flags useless, but atriedes are the better of the great houses.

[Duncan]

atreides Rule

the hawk will rule the universe ;D ;D

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

The hawk will eat the snake and diss the bull, that will run of a cliff.  ;)

[Duncan]

caladan will be the centre of the universe

[evilbaronatreides]

well atreides is good, but its a matter of you look at it. Yes atreides has superior range (minos and snipers) and better speed than harks, but look at what hark has: much better armor and brute force. Minos have a slow rate fire, and about 2 m. tanks can take it out. Devastors are another story; yes they may be slow, but with a carryall its going to be a long day.(not to mention they self destruct) As for infanty, hark lacks an effective one, but it has 3 vehilces made for the destruction of infantry. Buzzsaws can clean any rush, as will flame tanks, and as for your deployed kindjals in infantry cover, well they would meet the burning death of inkvine

[s2]

evilbaron has got a piont.

[nemafakei]

But the atreides have more. Individually, each unit can be countered, but the mongooses are damn good against even the toughest of tanks. Airlift can be taken out by AA, *while* tanks are attacked by minos, ALSO damaging nearby infantry. As for the inkvine, a little micromanagement can save a lot of hassle. Not to mention the sheer power of the snipers, kindjals and, of course, the sonic tank. And the tactical problem of the repair vehicle.

Anyway, there are arguments for and against each house that can be batted back and forth, but my conclusion remains the same: At are good fore me and quite a few others, but for those whose tactics suit the harks, let them be happy with the arsenal of Giedi.

[s2]

thank you nema for your words, and the atr will lose at the hands of the harks.

[Seth]

Atreides wont lose.... IMO they ARE the center of the universe Minos and the Mongoose are way powerful at long range. They have the terrain and distance advantage. Atreides can win against Harks if you use their units wisely and strategically

[gunner154]

The Harkonnen will prevail!

Atreides will win!

For House Ordos!

???

im supporting every house. each one has their own weaknesses and strengths. Atreides have range. Harks have superior firepower (missile tanks kill minos with ONE hit). Ordos can self-repair and rule the Ground Defences.

[Duncan]

atreides have the repair guy that thing repair every mecanic units air and ground (exp the carrayl and andvance carry and air drone  :P)

[s2]

gunner, missile tanks cannot destroy a mino in one hit. If it did it would have to have 2 cheverons.

[Duncan]

ya that is true missile tank needs 2 shots to kill a mino

[Guest DarkStorm]

if you aks me, Ordos are the best.  laser tanks can take out just about any tank or mech if they are used well.  in addition, the ordos are great with the help of fremen and sardukar, since they both add some stealth and anti-infantry.   I will agree however that atreides are more effective than s

[Duncan]

ya ordos l

[Seth]

I agree cause if a laser tank is hit by a rocket or a projectile they would slow down and Man do I hate it when that happens.

[gunner154]

I agree cause if a laser tank is hit by a rocket or a projectile they would slow down and Man do I hate it when that happens.

Wrong Seth. a shielded unit slows down only if it loses it's shield.

Anyways how come my missile tanks kill enemy minos with one hit when both were having full health? repair vehicles were even nearby!

[Duncan]

hummmm i still say that dont hapenn but a can try today i see if you have right ::)

[s2]

Is your missile tank up close or far away, maybe its becuse of hieght advantage? ??? ???

[Seth]

Maybe cause the repair vehicles were at their backs had to turn then repair which gave enough time to seriously damage your unit with one Salvo of the Tank

[Duncan]

i thing s2 is right is because of hiegths but i will see that

when i play
