BEST SUBHOUSES

[House_Corrino]

Sard elites may be the game's best all-around unit.

[Fremen_Mentat]

I like the Fremen and Saudarkar for both Ordos and Artriedes  :D. They are useful in the campains. Send in some Fedaykin and regualar Saudarkar and BAM, enemie ready for the main strike force. Perfect 8).

[House_Corrino]

Sard elites are also nice to have.  They can counter any unit, are fast, have good range, and tons of armor.

[jacobdouds]

The sardukar and Fremen are exellent. I use them the most as the only other good subhouse units are things like Projectors. And you can't allie with the guild in game and in multiplayer, a niab tank costs way to much.

[House_Corrino]

But NIABS are very useful.

[jacobdouds]

Yes the Niab's are exellent against vehicles. But you can only build a few every so often. When you are actually able to mass produce, you don't need to any way.

[House_Corrino]

Teleport in, kill the con yard, teleport out.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Since when do you "kill" buildings?  ;)

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

House_Corrino make buildings live ;D

But it`s true, NIABS rock against vehicles. But laser tanks still r too fast for them

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Corrino could have "acquired" some Tleilaxian technology...

[House_Corrino]

Yknow, that's exactly what I did.  I sent an elite force of sarduakar, "killed" their base, and stole their technology.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

This is the way how it should be done!!

:D :D :D :D

[House_Corrino]

But their military technology sucked!  So I ripped off the executrix and gave them the technology.  And yes, I was responcible for making the Tleilaxu units go insane on Draconis IV and nearly kill the executrix.  The tleilaxu are worthless, and so are the executrix; so no matter what the case, I have killed the weak.

[Chaos_Storm]

The Tleilaxu's primary purpose is to vex the opponent, costing him/her a lot of Attention. You can't leave Leech Larvae on your vehicles forever despite the fact that they erode armour so slowly. You can't let contaminators walk towards your infantry forever whilst your infantry are busy with other more urgent targets (e.g. Chem troopers, Snipers, Dust Scouts, etc), despite the fact that contaminators are sooo slow and have to be at point blank range to attack. Do not expect them to perform anything else apart from being over-priced decoys, except from preventing Kobras from deploying/undeploying. The fact that both units grow in numbers for each kill only means casualties are reduced (insignificantly in the case of contaminators).

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Right. Maybe the best strategy against them is ignore them at first, kill enemy and later kill Tleilaxu and larvae?

[Timenn]

Tleilaxu are handy if you use them right, but they aren't super... Keep in mind that a single unit doesn't mean that much... Except for a fedaykin on a worm... ;D ;D

[jacobdouds]

But their military technology sucked!

[House_Corrino]

Tleilaxu suck.

[Chaos_Storm]

Right. Maybe the best strategy against them is ignore them at first, kill enemy and later kill Tleilaxu and larvae?

Yes, but what if the enemy keeps up attack so that you have to decide whether to kill enemy units or get the Larvae off those dying vehicles (when you don't have any Engineers nearby because you forgot or they've been assassinated)? That's when you are under pressure and you don't have enough Attention to handle everything. That is the primary purpose of Tleilaxu - they don't pose a threat unless you ignore them for too long, in which case they suddenly become a headache.

Similarly what happens when you leech Harvesters? Let's imagine a favourable scenario: Enemy hears about Leeched units, checks it out briefly and makes a mental note to get an engineer to remove it back at base or force fires on it. Suddenly he/she gets distracted by an invasion which could destroy the barracks and kill engineers amongst other things. He/she is busy dealing with the threat, probably repelling it, then forgets about the leeched Harvesters until he/she sees them again later when they have low health or realises he/she forgot to cancel force fire. Income damaged severly when many Harvesters succomb to Leeches. This can be most frustrating when you don't have enough engineers/repair vehicles and too many leeched units. To a certain extent, Leeches become expendable at this point as new Leeches are grown from enemy vehicles (especially if you destroy them after you've leeched them - you don't have to wait as your own fire doesn't destroy your own larvae). Contaminators are still too expensive though unless you are fighting a newbie.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

It doesn`t make sense running on batlefield with engeneers when it is a lot of enemy units, it`s better wait or shot to units with larvae. But it works only when I have many units. When I have not many, enemy  win if I wil be hit my own vehicles. Leeches could make defence very difficult.

[House_Corrino]

But turrets (especially MG posts) cut through them pretty fast.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Ya, leeches trying infect turrets look preety funny.

[House_Corrino]

One turrets can take a couple dozen trying to attack them.  Buzzsaws are also good anti-tleilaxu units.

[Terror]

pretty good? buzzsaws are anti tleilaxu.... but well... back to the tleilaxu point.. i think they're not that bad.... computer is realy good in irritating me with them.... i usually never give an AI opponent tleilaxu cuz they are so good in irritating me that i lose my will to play emperor

[Timenn]

That's their target? Wasting the enemy's time...
