themurl Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I don't care what anyone says, nothing can beat a Fedaykin Sergeant. All you need is one and you can take down any unit. Just use hit and run tacticts and youll be fine. No vehicles can keep up with you because tanks are too slow and bikes, buzzsaws or dust scouts are too weak to stand more than one shot. Iv'e found that even an assault tank can not stand a direct shot from close range by a veteran fedaykin. This strategy works well to just harass the enemy and divert their units while your Advanced Carryalls steal their harvesters or drop mongooses sonic tanks and minotauri in their base.

casper Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Indeed, I think those Fedaykin should really be tone downed. You can just have fun with groups of four all the time and when you finally get back to your base you have enough to kill the enemy (30-40) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 NO toning down needed for Frementhey are basically some houses only BITE i.e. OrdosAtreides do fine w/o them but I always have them anywayHere is one unit Fedaykins CANNOT hurt: Fremen Warriors... on a battle of 100 Fedaykin and 1 Fremen the fremen wins :)check it out for yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_fox Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Fremen Fadaykin don't hurt Fremen because of EARPLUGS. If you read the rules.txt, the two different Fremen infantry have earplug armor which is almost immune to sonic waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 so they don't get killed by Sonic Tanks?I still see them dying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 The "EARPLUG" value may only be for your own troops, maybe the enemy uses a different frequency so the earplugs don't work? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Well Fremen can't be killed by ENEMY Fedaykin so its still the same problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Well fremen warriors is a different matter. Enemy Fremen Warriors can kill your fremen warriors, I found this out the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 Yeah Fremen WARRIORS can kill any other Fremen but Fremen Fedaykin can't kill ANY fremena bit stupid isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeaj Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 I don't think it's stupid, it makes sense. Â I found this out in a funny way, my Fremen tent was destroyed so I took the wounded Fremen Warriors that came from the destruction of the tent and posted them on infantry rock by a sonic tank of mine at a defensive post. Â Out of nowhere (of coarse) eight Fedaykin popped up and attacked my tank. Â My Fremen warriors on guard attacked the Fedaykin, after I lost my sonic tank, I thought that the Fedaykin would just rip through my half-life warriors, but they inflicted no damage, but they kept trying, exposing themselves allowing my warriors to kill them all. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 OK Duke where does it make sense when 1 Fremen can take out 8 Fedaykin considing Fedaykin are the more ELITE FREMENand they cost 50 credits more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeaj Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 What I ment was that it makes sense that a Fedaykin wouldn't be able to kill a Fremen Warrior because they have "ear-plugs" protecting them from the ultra sonic waves from the Fedaykin...that's all, it's just one of those things where a unit has a weakness is all, and Fedaykin are pretty damn good units.

cyclonus Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 You guys sure? I had a cluster of Fedaykins shooting at a Tank, once and the ones in front took damage from the sonic beams in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 I'm extremely sure Fedaykin don't hurt ANY Fremenand Duke like I said earlier... if the Fremen can stop Sonic Waves why does a Sonic Tank kill them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 well a sonic shot from a freman is not that strong compared to a sonic tank. i think it 4 times as powerful. so earpulgs or not a shot of that powe will just rib any fremams head off.

Guest spideyi81 Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Fremen are really good. The other night i offed a Devastator with a sonic tank using the hit and dodge method,and he only hit me once.So i use them both /oo/ spidey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 So what are some of the strategies you guys have used to keep your Fremen units from being killed by another opposing Fremen unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 huh?My fremen don't kill each other.... but if your enemy is using Fedaykin... rush him with Fremen Warriors ;Danyway I guess the Sonic Tank does have a bigger amplifier :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squire Lazarus Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 i was wondering why do projections from ixian projectors fire like normal unitsalso prjecting an enemy devastator is tons of fun and ornithropters rule against construction yards and palaces also use air drones a gainst caryalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I know that sonic waves from sonic tanks hurt fremen. I meant that infantry with earplugs (which is just the fremen) are immume to the MAGNIFIED SOUND THAT COMES OUT OF A WIERDING MODULE.
