What is the worst sub-house unit?

[raven3563]

I'd pick the contaminator as the worst cauz they build slow, their only good against infantry, and they have to move right up next to infantry to kill them.

[Black_Emperor]

guess what? your right

[Dark-Sardaukar]

Totaly right...Man tleilaxu were sooooo great in dune books they had all kinda strategy to infiltrate to kill to...just to kick arses! but now in emperor wow they made em sucks lol  :-/

[Dante]

I wouldn't say that the contaminators are bad.....

But I can't think of anything worse.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Every units that is able to fight in some way is usefull...but true contaminators are worst units...comparing to others.

[Edric O]

Yeah, contaminators are the worst...

That's why in Kwisatz Haderach I'm reducing their price to 100. :)

[Sardauker-Kirov]

You should make their slap animation faster, when they are in range of a enemy unit. Same goes for the "hatch animation" when the unit gets hit.

[Black_Emperor]

and they should also have just maybe a little bit more armor and speed

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

It sucks with contaminators that they work only with infantry...its only unit that work only with one type of unit...but it would be difficult contaminate tank :P

[sneezer3]

guess what? your right

you sure the Guild maker isn't the worst subunit?

[Sardauker-Kirov]

That unit could atleast do some damage to the enemy. Although very overpriced and weak armor. They still have their uses.

[NO_SURRENDER]

:'(

I feel sorry for the contaminators-everybody hates them.

They do, however, give you an economic advantage. They cost expensive...but what if you turn one of your cheap infantry into a contaminator? Face it. at least they are better than the scout.

They are good against Harkonnen, since many Hark soldiers are almost as slow, and they usually can't kill a contaminator in one shot.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

But they have flame infantry. And don`t deploy units as Atreides.

And we don`t hate them. We just think they are worst. But it would be funny change all scouts and make contaminated scouts army.

[Serquej]

What if you train scouts and then contaminate them. That would be a cheap way of making contaminators.(I never tried that, I just got an idea.) :D

[Timenn]

That won't work, because when the Contaminator slaps your own unit, it won't die, only a bit hurt

[Sardauker-Kirov]

I think its a shame that the Contaminator doesn't have splash damage. So it will damage all the others units in range.

*Wonders, he starts up his Tibed and try's to modify the Contaminator slap properties. *

I'm gonna try to change the warshell.  ;D

[Terror]

hmm.. I also have to choose between contaminator and maker... sure maker can kill some infantry... but they are almost never usefull in that.... they are too slow and too weakly armored... and everyone know what the contaminators lacks are

[Anathema]

How about if the contaminator exploded when killed, thus infecting all nearby infantry?

[Terror]

hmm... not a bad suggestion at all

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Yes, it would at least make some damage in nearest vehicle and no only infantry. And maker is second. In some cases works better in some not than contaminator

[sneezer3]

What if you train scouts and then contaminate them. That would be a cheap way of making contaminators.(I never tried that, I just got an idea.) :D

that might be something you can do on online play! tran some contaminator/leechs have your buddy make dustscouts/sandbikes/flametanks unailly with em have him put'em off gard then ;D but scouts would be the chepest infantry to contaminate.

::) ;D 8)

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Even in skirmish, comp sends a lot of scouts during whole battle and when you play with eg four enemies, this is quite big number of scouts. At the begining contaminator can stand in the entry of base or on infantry rock and change them all. I made about 10 contaminators with it.

[Caid Ivik]

Why are you all yelling about contaminators? The worst unit is NIAP flyer. It does nothing, has only minimal view range and it's very slow. Only advantage is that you can't build it in regular game, so it isn't making the skirmish worse.

[Terror]

no.. we were talkin about buildable units... otherwise the fremen civilians would be the worst units

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

But if it was buildiable unit, it would be worst.

At least it is UNIT, while civilians aren`t units. Only if warrior lend them krysnife. Even suboids are more powerful cos they have torches. ;)
