Fremen Strat

[Calaban_emperor]

Okay,i think this works with any house:if the enemys base is walled off,build about 10 fremen snipers and 10 fedaykin and send them near an enemys base,then move them one by one BEHIND the wall,and keep doing this until you have a large force and then attack!And just to ensure victory,send over a few dust scouts/sand bikes/buzzsaws. ;)

err, EVER seen anyone wall off his base in multiplayer?

never saw them.

[Black_Emperor]

walls are a waste of cash on multiplayer. they are only good for missions on single player like the one where the contaminators and leeches are going after the ix scientists, then you just wall em up and make a gun turret

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Ya, only comp make wall. And then it hasn`t time to make fast hangar or palace.

[Timenn]

I always forget to use walls, but to keep fremen out they are very handy. Hmm, the sonic waves from fedaykin can't damage the walls? The warriors can't, that is what I know.

But then look after your entrances...

[ken124578]

walls are a waste of money because they block enemy units but ALSO YOUR units.

you don't want that to happen now do you?

besides, your trying to build up a good base not walls, saw the al that builded walls? hs econemy was shattered because of those.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

You can build wall if you play on the map where is more entries but only there where you don`t put units. And even then it is not very neccesery. As I said, it takes too much time at the beginning and takes money later, espesially when you starts which small amout of money. Wall is not expensive but if you want not allow enemy come in, you do a lot of wall parts. And, as Ken said, it blocks your units too. :P

[ken124578]

another disadvantage is that if you want to keep your "blockade" then you *MUST* replase parts of the wall for they cannot be repaired and you probebly have to cancel a building.

[Timenn]

Hmm, actually this was about placing Fremen behind the wall. Still didn't got answered about keeping Fremen out by building walls. Hmm a gate , I miss the TS gate :(

[ken124578]

to keep fremen out...

build an hole horde of scouts and some flameturrets/gasturrets/machinegunturrets.

if your using walls make a wall and place some of the turrets named above in between the sections of walls.

they wil not get through without suffering losses.

[Timenn]

But Fremen can easily destroy a turret. Especially single ones. If they are with enough even without being hit...

[Egregius]

Walls are great for keeping out stealth units. You shouldnt completely shut yourself off, but you can reduce a wide entrance that needs 3-4 scouts to one that takes only 2. Less units needed for defense=replacement for wall costs.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Its more effective put units in place turrets. Missiles work better against aircraft even than gun turret. Or deva. Or better build gun/rocket and put units near it :)

[ken124578]

but they wil also block your units, i think no-one would recommend walls as a defence.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Wall is good only there where you don`t put units. In the main defence enter it made units lees effective. When you haven`t wall you can put strong units in line or group and if enemy will destroy or damage one of them you can replace it quickly or repar with repait vehicles if you are Atreides. If you put units in the ener of wall, it can be stuffy and enemy have more chance to destroy vehicles defence.

[Egregius]

Well I've found walls to confuse enemy AI. Forcing the enemy to make maneuvers they dont want to etc.

[Bretek]

Hmm, wasn't this about Fremen, not the walls? Oh well. Walls are useless. I'd rather be thinking about other things than where to build a wall.

Fremen are the best for raiding harvestors, imo. A good mix of em will take out any inf with the warriors, and the tanks with the feyds. Then just let the feyds work on the harvestors. May not be the best against Hark now that I think of it though. But it may work. I've tortured many Atreides with it. Once you have their harvestors. The game is yours.

If you can get Feyds into the base, they do wonders their as well. I've always prefered NIABS for that part though. Much less time to teleport units in rather than sneaking them in.

One problem I've noticed with Fremen. They don't seem to guard that well. I've yet to see them attack until something comes right up to them. So Fremen thus require a lot of micro-management. Too much, imo.

[Black_Emperor]

then put them on guard mode

[Timenn]

Good to remove pesty infantery, from the buildings you destroyed

[Mr_Hangman]

Stealth units won't attack unless told to or put on guard mode.

[Timenn]

You need ofcourse, keep your attention on the 'g' key. You can switch on the right moment for guard, and non-guard
