evilbaronatreides Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 yeah slim pickens did ride that nuke, too bad he took the rest of the world with him. (i love Dr. Strangelove, as well as any movie by Kubrick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimatri99 Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Well now here's my 2$ (inflation).It's all about alliance.There is no best unit as has been said,they all have their strengths and weaknesses,but when combined that's when you see the power of the sum of the wholebeing greater than the sum of the parts.

nemafakei Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Except when they forget to put AA units in, and that's when, due to the sum of the hole, all you're left with is some of the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_fremen Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 well, groups of sardaukar can take out almost anything, but the nest unit all by itself is the sonic tank. ::)DUH! ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner154 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 never saw a Guild Mega cannon before.anyways there's no best unit, it's how u use it 8) 8) 8)but if u stil insist on the bset unit, i think it's the gunship. tough, capable of killing any unit in groups (except troopers and Devastators) and they're FAST! ;DOrnithopters are good too, but Gunships fire 2 missiles.are more heavily armoured. Even minos and sonic tanks cant get that irritating Gunship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 i dunno the mega cannon just has extreme range and thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_JPC Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I don't think you can tell what is the best unit at one to one battles. It depends on several factors. Such as: opponement, terrain, starting position etc.However I do have a favorite overall unit. The Minotauris. It has long range firepower. Effective against infantery and armored vehicels. It has a strong amor and is perfect for base defence. However it is not very fast and not effective against fast-moving targets.Every unit has +'s and also -'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Indeed Minos are the best they have great fire power and range. it is sad that they are devastated by one salvo of the missile tank and are not that heavily armored. By the way GUILD MEGA CANNON is a REALLY HUGE CANNON. the longest range in the game but the fire power. Its something to laugh about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RatsAss66 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Well the emperor worm could probably destroy anything, mainly cause of his layers of skin and his subterrainian abilities.But the best unit you can get is the three legged dog. He kicks ass, thats all I can say. The devestator has its weaknesses though. It can be killed by the sonic tank, the laser tank, only one fremen fedaykin, or a minotaurus. but this guys an allrounder.I-feel-sick!

nemafakei Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I've lost so few units to a dev that I can count them on my fingers. And the mega cannon is rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crockerjarmon Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Gimme a Fedaykin warrior and I will take out any unit in a one on one showdown. Fremen elites are definitely the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Gimme an elite minotaurus and a repair vehicle and you will see some fireworks. Just one Mino and I will get the job done......... The clean way or the Really sloppy way........ So dont ask when my base has a lot of holes...... those were the marks enemies of enemies trying to rush my base........ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 I say that the sonic tank can take anything in a one on one showdown, but the sardaukar are the best units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 A sonic can kill a surface worm in 1 shot - the worm takes lots of damage due to its size and Armour type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 ive been playing Harkonen recently, and the missile tank is actually pretty good. It can take out alot of units in one shot (like a Mino) and has the speed equal to a mongoose. Only thing it has a crappy armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Yes if you work with two groups they are pretty effective, when the first team have attacked and rearms, the other team can attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 And then thats when the missile tank BLOWS UP!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 One shot? ok changing my vote to Sonic Tank, elite version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 IXIAN PROJECTOR!!!What else? Just project lots of copies of the unit you're fighting against! I'd like to see your Sonic Tank beat my 5 projections of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 yah, but it all dependes on who fires first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Yes, if the enemy fired a weapon with spread capabilities they would all die. and if they pass through a spice mine that would explode all of those projected units die....... SO I stick with the terror of the desert the Minotaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 terror you say, wimp i say. We all know sonic tank whill destroy your terrer in 1-2 shots. Sardaukar are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 The Projector is indeed very good for a lot of things. The Sonic is probably my vote for the best conventional unit. Missile Tanks are very good in combo, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 Missile tanks are good in combo but the need a inf killer(like a flame tank) since a missil tank will take alot of shots just to kill one inf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
