Looking for Tips to Improve My Dune 2000 Strategy

[Elija]

Hey everyone,

I've been getting back into Dune 2000 recently, and I'm having a blast, but I've hit a bit of a wall in my strategy. I usually play as the Atreides, and while I can hold my own in the early game, things start to go south once the AI gets more aggressive.

I have gone through these resources/articles https://forum.dune2k.com/topic/2384-dune-2000-tactics/ and they are quite good but I wanted to learn more from community.

Does anyone have any tips for managing resources better or dealing with those pesky Harkonnen raids? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to better utilize the units—sometimes I feel like I'm just throwing them at the enemy without much strategy.

Any advice or even fun tactics you like to use would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Funny,

Soon I willl return to the game as well. I got all kind of noob tactics against the AI.

- Quads for harvester raids. They are fast and anti vehicle. Use them to scout and kill enemy harvesters in the fields. Run away from any enemy units defending the harvesters. But they can fight the faster raiders/trike's with ease.

- Missile tanks for carryall removal. This way, the harvesters can't be lifted up and placed down in a fast fashion.

- If you are a heavy camper type. Sonic tanks in front, followed by 2 rows of combat tanks, followed by 2 rows of siege tanks and missile tanks. And move them forward to the enemy 1 row at a time. The width depends on the path. But 7 is really the maximum. Meanwhile, build a new steamroll wall.

- The multiplayer spam seems to be trooper/quad/combat tank, plus some starport reinforcements.

- Atreides....get that Napalm!
