LPC-Disco_Inferno Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Hi.The ordos saboteur is not invinsible.It`s visible and quite weak.He has a serious speed trough.Manny ppl say he sux but i think it`s about how u are using him.If u commnand him good and u give him some cover he can even get into turrets without a problem.Cover can be given mij anything. Like trikes or quads cuz they are cheap. Even tanks. An mcv works fine to cuz he has a good armor and turrets need a while to kill it.Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutus Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 He rides a trike, according to the game manual ;) And he cant destroy all buildings just by entering them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Well actually i had 2 versions of dune 2. In the first one he was invisible and i could only select him by pressing somewhere near the palace and having the luck to find him. In the 2nd version he was visible, and he looked like a light infantry i think, i'm not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Yeah in one version he looked like a light infantry dressed all in grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I'm dling dune2 right now (its abandon ware so its perfectly legal ;) ) and so far its pretty cool like a dune warcraft :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Actually, WarCraft was just a medieval Dune II clone. Check the copyright dates, if you don't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Actually, WarCraft was just a medieval Dune II clone. Check the copyright dates, if you don't believe me.true true, but eventually blizzard and westwood went seperate ways... warcraft and dune2 where quite close..war2 and C&C however where a lot different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 i would agree with terror. war 2 and c&c had different styles, in units and in the way you build stuff/get resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I like Saboteurs. You can even control them by telling them to 'move' into an enemy building. Also, if you put it in front of an enemy tank and tell it to Guard, the Saboteur will stand still and the enemy vehicle will drive over him: BOOM!

Terror Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 yes, but if you order to do something, make sure you do it right because i think that if you order it to move on the rock it will detonate on the rock (i'm not sure though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkrul3r Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 im my opinion the sabutour can be real effective if used properly. they can take out 4 wind trapes with one detonation. so if you can get them in a base. the sabatour works real well.

I've only ever seen them move INTO a building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 yeah, i primarily used it to kill enemy siege tanks or something, but it's not even close as effective as the harkonnen missile or the atreides fremen. But hell, it is funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Whoa, Saboteurs can 'move' into units? Dude! lol :P I'm gonna try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Their biggest problem was that you couldn't 'hoard' them - only two were allowed on the map at any one time... More=better chance of success...The looked like a single light inf, with dark grey clothing. They don't have a weapon in thier hand though, and when they move, their walking anim is like a goose-step... Although their speed is accounted for in the manual by saying they ride a trike, their speeds are different, and no trike is visible in-game.They can outrun any rockets fired from a range greater than about 5 cells.

Living land mines (esp. vs Devastators...they have no turret (thus they have to stand still to actually target a Saboteur automatically - and they explode rather nicely ;));+ quickly removing sneaky Launchers trying to kill your Factories;+ killing stray Harvesters (esp. when they are about to be picked up by a Carryall :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Pretty easy - that's 1 less than max trooper range :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 well, but how do you know it can outrun rockets :) at only 5 hex distance, and not 4 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
