sorry bout dat g-dog,

twas a bad day, I didn't wake up on either side of the bed instead I spent the day hurling up large masses of halfly digested food.  anyways, Inkvines are good when placed on cliffs and missile tanks are good with them.

[Acriku]

LOL Nice editing. :)

[subarupunk]

[glow=red,2,300]oh, yeah.

very nice ;D

minos are good when their on your side but they get really annoying when their not. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :'( :'( :'([/glow]

[thomas]

I agree

[subarupunk]

pop up turrets are easy to destroy.  yup yup yuppie.

[nemafakei]

Indeed they are, but a pain if you don't notice them...

[thomas]

they eat mongooses like potato chips and a hobo

[nemafakei]

That's... another way of saying it. I think...

[subarupunk]

how do you eat a hobo?

If you don't notice them then that sucks otherwise i'd say yee-haw.

[nemafakei]

What has hobo eating got to do with 'The best Harkonnen Strategy'?

In an attempt to return to the thread idea:

I must agree with the initial posting (Don't play HK) Simply because there is much less scope to use the units effectively. There is so much more you can do with the other houses. Yes, HK units have quite a few tactics available to them, but so have the basic functions of the AT and OR; it's just that the tech that the other houses have gives them more variations and combinations of interesting uses.

[subarupunk]

other houses are better, but I want to be proficient with all of them.  And I know I need to get a little better with fire.

[nemafakei]

Oh yes, play them all, of course... but HK is still poor.

[Baron]

They always play like the damn computer. And those devasators should be used for base defense not attacking another base too slow.

You can build 5 ACarryalls and 5 Devastatrors and put them into enemy's base:)

[nemafakei]

You can. But the enemy could destroy your 17,000 worth of equipment with a few missile tanks quite nicely. at a very low cost. (You could even do it with projections for non-HK players).

[Virtugon]

Harkonnen are good if you know how to play with them!

[nemafakei]

As can other houses. It's just that the Harkonnen have nothing interesting about them to do other than effective use of brute force, which can be done with all other houses anyway.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

HK must be the most underrated RTS side ever... :'( :'(

[Black_Emperor]

not much of a dune player, but about this little chat/conversation, the harkonnen are not as pathetic as you think, all houses are equally matched but only appear weak because of the player. So far, the only people that i seen play Harkonnen are stupid@$$es. So if a real Harkonnen player were to come along, im pretty sure they would be a though opponent.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Harkonnen are for Assault's, Only the Range and the speed of the harkonnen are annoying.  Besides i didnt know Ordos uses brute force? I thought they need to be sneaky in order to be effective? :)

[Black_Emperor]

Every house can be used for brute force, its only because the harkonnen are made slow but strong is what people believe to immediatly take as brute force tactics...oh and the ordos arent really sneaky, the only sneaky things they have are the apc, sabator (cant spell it...known fact) and what...the scout? which everyone has.

[Fremen_Mentat]

The best strategie for the Harks is to make devastators, missle tanks, flame tanks, buzzsaws, (and some saudakar might be nice :)),and attack head on. Slaughter like never before. Cool 8).

[jacobdouds]

Devastators for base ramp defence. Excellent. Agree???

[Black_Emperor]

devestators are great defense and perfect when they make it into a battle. only down side is that it probably cant make it to a battle in time after everyone is messed up

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Devastator with advanced carryall which put them to enemy base ;D

And assaults rush
