IxianMace Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hey I was wondering, what are some strategies for using Fremen Worm Riders? It looks like they're really tough, and I can mow down a whole group of heavy enemy units, but I just wanted to know, is there anything really fun that I can try?

Virtugon Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Well, what I usualy do is summon a worm near an enemy spice field, and "eat" all their harvesters. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 That's pretty hard most of the time. The Fedaykin are visible, the enemy shoots them, or they get run over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtugon Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 That's why I don't do it directly at a spice field, but at a distance, a spot where the enemy vehicles aren't near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share Posted March 13, 2002 I don't know, sometimes when you deploy the Fedaykin, the worm comes in a few seconds. Sometimes it takes a few years. But 5 times out of 6 the enemy get them before they get on a worm. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtugon Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 np ;DIf you find some other cool strategy's plz let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Just deploy lots of them, and eat ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 A Worm-strategy:Have always a group of fedaykins standing by. And have always one riding a worm or calling one...How quick the worm appears is random, just bases on how far the worm needs to travel.Worms will flee into sand after a while so deploy fedaykins not far from their targetsWorms are very effective against moving armies (like the mino-rush) but need more tactics when attacking stand-still armies. Don't let the worm take large distances but move it from spot to spot. When a worm has no order, it will do what it like so let it always have an order.Attack by riding over the targetHarvesters are a perfect target for worms.Use mutliple worms when attacking large armies on sand. When a fedaykin is calling a worm, don't get distracted by enemy fedaykin who are attacking your fedaykinCheck regurarly your radar for other fedaykin calling a worm.Good luck with the power of Shai-Halud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Funny that Timenn knows all about worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 It just is. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Worm Riding tip:Worm riders are the worst unit at turning around sharply. If you try to do a sharp U-turn, it will go mad and the green 'move to' line will change direction rapidly. It takes ages of constant clicking to get a Worm to turn sharply so steer gently and don't try to go back for a target you just missed - find others then come back.And watch out for Sonic tanks/enemy Fedaykin - Worm riders die quickly to resonance weapons. They can plough through just about anything else though (except I guess, a wall of Devastators and Missile tanks, though experience hasn't confirmed/disproven this yet).

Timenn Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Another wormtip. If you want to attack a standing mino-rush (when it's no too big), take a distance, and go straight for it! You will be surprised (and the enemy ;D) how quick a worm can be. The mino's just fire to slow... (though they hit them a bit)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 The worm's size is deceptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Yes, that's the reason it won't work on too large rushes with 1 worm, unless they are walking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Is it possible to summon more than 1 worm at a time to ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Yes if you deploy multiple fedaykins at the same time. (not to close to each other) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burseg_candor Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 what really sux is that there can be only one fremen per worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Why do you need more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo_I Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 i thought i should note that two or three freemen warriors can kill a worm in three shots ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 If you have about 10 fedaykins thumping near enemy bases, you may think that Fremen are good allies. But ten fedaykins can also easily destroy lone harvester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I'll guarantee you you'll get very mad in waiting for the stupid worms to come if you want more than one worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 There doesn't change anything about the waiting time, it still stays between 100 and 2000 frames. So after 2000 frames, you're sure you have all worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 2000 frames !!! Anyone should be sleeping then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Yes, the right moment to attack then. And 2000 frames isn't much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
