*** Effective Strategies ***

[Phyrex]

The first time I played Dune online I got totally owned, and I assume this happened to everyone.

The Guild Rush- you might not think the guild makers come in handy, but they do. They have armor enough to delay your opponent while sending in NIAB tanks to destroy the enemy.

Fremen Defense- Set up small groups of fremen warriors to guard your base from infantry. Put two or three on each part of every opening. Make sure you dont be stingy on the fedaykin, because they make a surefire plan of your opponents rush tactics fail.

Sardukar escort service-Even though you know you could've saved tonnes of credits, the sardukar elites will take out any enemy with the cut of a blade or a few blasts from the laser cannon.

Tleilaxu trouble-Contaminators suck crap... or do they. Bring your battallion of tleilaxian bio enforcers to destroy what vehicles there are in the enemies base, and especially surrounding it. Then, if you havent already done this, send in your contaminators. place all your contaminators near the entrance of the barracks, and all your leaches near the vehicle yard.  The base is yours to reak havoc.

Get Ix right already!-Never underestimate the power you have with a single allegiance with Ix. Use your projectors to create duplicates of infiltrators, and make lots of them, because more helps. Then build multiple real infiltrators. Line them up quickly so there are the duplicates alongside the real ones, and so they dont deteriorate. Now send them into your opponents base in "formation" and target only one building, but use them in precision to be adequately effective for future rush tactic deployment.

Thanx for reading!
