More Forum Action

[Gobalopper]

Both Delphi and Chris have replied to a few more threads at the official forum earlier today. Chris gave a few more review scores for Emperor saying it got 88% in Denmark and 8/10 in Italy. Another poster mentioned that the Swedish PC Gamer gave it 87%. He also made this post on the Ordos, Atreides, and Starports:

For the Ordos, there is no concept of cowardice. Its more a matter of efficiency. Hit & run is simply a cost efficient method for taking apart an enemy's base.

The Atreides 'tank' unit is the Mongoose. Yeah, it walks, but this little guys deliver annoying punch! And they can move & shoot with their turreting rocket launcher. You'll learn to appreciate them very early on.

Starports offer units in your own build tree (unless you capture an enemy's) at a market rate (could be more or less). - LINK

Delphi also replied to a thread about changing prices at the Starport, the pre-order units, and Sarduakar abilities; check them out below:

Yes, they change! Sometimes they are higher than normally and sometimes you can get a 500 credit discount.. Gotta love that. =) - LINK

The (pre-order) units will be available to the rest of the world two weeks after the game ships. They are a special bonus to those who order early. - LINK

When you upgrade your Sardukar training facility, you will get the option for Elite troopers. They are not Elite as in killing 5 infantry you get a rank, they are better trained than normal Sardukar troops. - LINK

From that last bit on the Sarduakar it looks like you will need to upgrade the Subhouse building before you can get the second unit. If you missed yesterdays post check below for more on the Sarduakar and Fremen units, Chris provided some details and names for them.
