Just what IS the Guild Maker? Infantry? Or tank?

[IxianMace]

Not too long ago I had a small debate on WOL about whether or not the Guild Maker qualified as an infantry unit or not. The reason the whole thing started was because I was trying to have an infantry war, and since it said in the manual that Guild Makers were the Guild's version of infantry, I thought it would be okay to use them. However some of the other players said that they were tanks. Just what does the Guild Maker classify as? Infantry unit or tank/vehicle unit?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Infantry. Its not machine and guild don`t create living vehicles like Tleilaxu do. Its some kinda mutant who became it becouse of spice.

[nemafakei]

This goes in the emperor boards, please.

It's meant to be a 3rd-stage navigator. For some reason it can survive without a tank full of spice gas.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Well on Dune there is probably enough spice to cover its need for spice, so it maybe don't need the tank.

[IxianMace]

It says in the manual that Guild Makers are Guild Navigators that have ingested huge quantities of spice and mutated into a wormlike creature. I don't understand how the Guild Maker is considered to be an infantry unit, because you can pick it up with an Advanced Carryall, repair it with an Atreides repair vehicle, and it can't use infantry rock. Okay, so it's definitely not a machine. But it sort of acts like one, in what you can do with it. Anyway, would this unit be allowed to be included in an infantry war or not?

[jacobdouds]

As it is built in the vehicles tab, it should not be allowed in the Infantry wars.

[vidiware]

Maby you can let it be with!

Its not the best unit, but its a infantry murder, let my sniper test do the job, if you can snipe it and i looses a lot of lives, then let it in, else drop it!

But, all the other sub-houses, have at least one infantry, if you count the ix worker!

Can you let the Ix worker be buildt?

[nemafakei]

Not unless you use something like aB's subhouse mod.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

What is ix worker?

[vidiware]

Thorup!

At one of the SP maps, you can ally with IX, if you stop the ixian workers from the Riot, they looks like small gnomes with a fire, and they have a attack like a infantry or something, but its better against vehicles

[The_Cheat_Lord]

Aren't they called Suboids?

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Yes, they'r the Ix's worker drones.

[Dunenewt]

Specially engineered 2 be um..........slaves

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Well, then I like the Harkonnen slaves better ;D

[vidiware]

Are you norwegian thorup???????

Hark slaves are a bit better, they don't want to kill your factory.

Yes, i meant Subiodes, or what it was, i didn't remember it when i wrote.

Does it work to enable them??

[jacobdouds]

Yes, just modify the House, Building Grooup and Primary Building.

[Dunenewt]

It was suboids

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Ja jeg er norsk/Yes I am Norwegian

[vidiware]

Kuult, det lyste av deg men.../Cool it glowed from you...

But lets hold us on the topic

[Mordecai]

One thing: if the maker is a second-stage navigator, how does it survive without a cloud of spice gas?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

He is second-stage, he isn`t as addicted as others and don`t need yet it.

[Mordecai]

From the moment that they start mutating, navigators require spice gas. Check the book House Atreides.

[Mahdi]

From the moment that they start mutating, navigators require spice gas. Check the book House Atreides.

1st stage navigators do not require spice gas, check out Dune.

[jacobdouds]

Whats different between stages of Makers? Which book can I find this in?

[Mordecai]

1st stage navigators do not reqire spice gas?

I didn't know that.

However, the maker is 2nd stage... Do they actually require the gas?
