Gobalopper Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Because it was just opened recently, before strategies were sent directly to me but I don't have time to sort through them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 Ok, let's posts some tactics for Dune2000.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 This is not catching on is it ?Mayby becouse we post everything related to Dune2000 simply under "Dune200". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Well the game is pretty old now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 It is. I just like it more then Frank Herberts Dune and Dune Emperor ( that's why I don't post under those topics a lot ) and thought mayby other as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 2, 2002 Author Share Posted January 2, 2002 Dune2000 is old. Gobalopper is right. But however...Look here, Emperor is out. Everyone is talking about Emperor. Even me. But not everyone's computer can support Emperor! They have to play Dune2000. We should make life better for them (if they're still playing Dune2000) >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 I think you'r both correct in saying Dune 2000 is old, it is.And not only people with computers that can't handel "bigger" games play Dune 2000 :)You can play it still just because it's a nice or good game in your oppinion. Just as me, and I also still play space invaders, now that's old ! Buth this is all beides the point. It is by now an old game and most poeple who post a lot on these forums play Emperor anf Frank Herbert's Dune alot more than Dune 2000.So let's make a list of things / tactics we used to use when we played Dune 2000. Just post them here so others can read them. We are not goin to argue about them just a lot of different tactics.Good idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 How do you get the saboteurs to get anywhere without dying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Lol Now that's funny ! ;D ;D ;D You can't ! ;D ;D ;D( it's possible when your enemy hasn't got any turrets or units in his base. Or near the building you are attackig with the saboteur and the path your saboteur takes isn't near any enemy units. Then you have a change that the saboteur will succeed. )The saboteur is a unit that I woudn't recomment to a beginning player, it requires some "skill" and experians to use succesfully in my oppinion. Ofcourse when you play Ordos you get the saboteur in your "standard options contract". But using it succesfully is another story.Sorry for asking but as it a seciour question or did you know the answer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 like Emperor: Saboteurs cant survive after killing something. they need skill like gryphon said.Deploy a saboteur to cloak him. quickly get him out! cloak him only when near the enemy base. Turrets can spot him i think. he'll cloak for a while though. when he enters the building, doesnt matter how much life it has, it's doomed.

nemafakei Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Ok, that was a silly comment. I meant dying BEFORE they got to their target. I've played d2k for some time, but have never mastered the use of the saboteur. I can never quite time the stealth right, that's all.

quoudam72 Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Same problem with the engineers sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 They don't have stealth. You'd expect stealthed units to be able to get into a base at least once by the 20th attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I know, you would expect that, but they don't ;DRemember Dune II. It was the same with the saboteur. A sonic if front of your base would ALWAYS kill any saboteur that would try to attack one of your buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 my saboteurs got detected very quickly :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I think saboteurs are compleatly useless. Ones a base has got a defence ( and how hard can that be, evry one has a defence ) a saboteur is, in my oppinion, worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 THe key to my Sab strrat is to send a moderate assualt force at one end of the base so when the forces are drawn off the sab can slip in during the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Does that work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
