The guild...?

[Guest Shai-Hulud]

Hey guys, I've played the game for a while, and I beat the Atreides campaign, and am quite far into the Ordos, but I have a problem. I have never found a mission that even had to do with the guild, and they sound like it would be fun to Ally with them! If it helps, I am currently allied with the Ix, Imperial Sardukar, and Fremen. Thanks to all who reply!

[exatreide]

you cant allie with them in single player there the bad guys in the last mission. you can in skrimish.

[kris]

You can ally with the Guild, sort of. If you can take the Guild Palace with an engineer you can use both of the guilds units in the last mission.

Note: The other enemy units will not like this and they will start an almost none stop assault against the palace. So, guard it well.

In one mission with the Atreides, I was searching the map and I found the guild mega cannon waiting to be captured. It's not really allying with them, but it was kind of cool.

[netnifty]

i tried enabling the guild mega cannon, but 4 sum reason when u put it down it just sits there. it dont even raise upwards 2 fire or turn around :(

[Ice_Man]

The only good thing about the guild mega cannon is selling it,

because it takes too much power & it hardly does any damage-

-and it takes way too much time to fire also.

[netnifty]

it worx now and it rox, it mite take loadsa power, but u can take out newhere on the map with it, even enemy buildings. ;D they also dont take up ne power if u set powerusage = 0. :P

The mega cannon is only good against massed groups of stationary infantry from extreme range. I will kill massed groups in a single hit. However, the best thing about the guild is the NIAB tank. Makers are almost an afterthought.

[daniel]

MAKERS are okay.......stop crtizing them...maybe theres a good use for them...but we haft found one yet....which would be pretty sad lol

[House_Corrino]

They're good against massed infantry, but that's about it.

[House_Corrino]

I'm not saying Makers suck, I'm just saying that I almost never use them; wheras I use the NIAB tanks every time I can.

[daniel]

ooooohhhhhhhh.........kkkkkk

[bob_fox]

Makers are too weak and slow. While being affective against infantry, Makers hardly ever survive just getting to the infantry.

[cyclonus]

Plain and simple... Makers suck, they are the dumbest unit ever invented in an RTS game. NIAB tanks however rule.

[daniel]

sooo it evens out..somehow

[nemafakei]

Even NIABs, though, can be defended against- especially if you notice if your enemy's allied with GU, and has a GU palace...

[thomas]

the mega cannon suxs

[nemafakei]

That's why it's only ever on campaign missions.

Besides, it's the range that's the killer, not the damage.

[Guest Oliver Schantz]

The only thing good about the makers is that they can use infantry rock

[Phyrex]

Uhm...

Actually they can't.  ;D

Makers are totally crap.

It costs 1000! God damn, just build 3 trikes and I'll bet the 3 trikes will be more effective in infantry killin'.

The NIAB tank is kewl but I almost never have seen one yet in multiplayer... Everyone seems to choose Fremen & House IX  :-/

So much for diversity...

[Phyrex]

Btw,

The only "good" use for a Maker is to put one in your spice field and let it do nothing, since a Guild maker will keep worms away. (So it won't attack your harvesters...)

Perhaps that's why they are so expensive.  ???

[nemafakei]

I've got it!

If a maker can get close to a building, its large spread will do lots of damage, coupled with the fact that it uses the Howitzer warhead which is good vs infantry and buildings.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Makers (I heard) can make worms go away.

[nemafakei]

Their worm attraction is negative 20.

[ordos45]

NIABs have their own weaknesses.  They are poiwered down directly after teleporting for a few seconds, during which time they can be easily destroyed...if spotted.
