Are the Ix really worth it

[Barron]

Think about allt he trouble you have to go through just to a little box that is invisible and blows up? Are they even worth having on the game?

Actually, yes. Alot of times they have been my hotkey+1 ;D .

I use them alot to cripple defenses, or just as land mines ;D

Once, i was playing a ATR player and my rush failed because he got tons of kinjal ready and i left out alot of dust-scouts, ne ways, his defense...was amazing. Luckily i fergot to change to guild and I had Ix. It was the spear of my offensive. I ALMOST totally annihilated his defense while he was putting defense perimiters around his spice. I micromanaged and surounded the minos with my first wave of them. i had a second wave not far off and finished the rest. After that all i needed was a good force of kobras, dusties, and lastanks.

As an Ixian, I'd have to say the Ix are definitely worth it. (duh!!)

The projections are amazing at base defence and in wars of attrition. In a game with an experienced Ix player, you can expect to get whittled down by projections quite often. The projector tanks are not cheap, but they are very effective because they can duplicate any ground unit. 1-2 Ix projectors are well worth the cost.

[Desert_Eagle25]

yes, i used alot of those babies, too ;D

[Devastator_Mech]

Well if you allied with Ix and use only the infiltrators, then it definately doesn't worth it.

The projectors actally should cost more than $1500, even though i don't use it alot, i know the projectors are a very useful unit.

I tend to completely fill an enemy base with infiltrators (especially around turrets) and then detonate them all at the same time. The problem with this is that they tend to get discovered if I am careless or trying to move too many at once. For a while I used projectors a great deal but recently I just don't seem to be able to work with them, they just get blown up so damn easily...

[GUNWOUNDS]

yes you have to be careful though because a large sqaud of scouts can totally ruin an ixian army

[SurlyPIG]

Sure they're useful. But they're countered very easily. Scouts and a few turrets make infiltrators utterly useless. Fremen or gunships kill infiltrators with ease. I'd only use infiltrators if your opponent is bad at doing two things at once (or is dumb) and I'd only use projectors if your opponent is an ordos or atreides player without the fremen subhouse. But, if your enemy doesn't have any of those weapons at hand, or if he doesn't know how to use them, they work great.

I like to wire a guys bace so it all goes. It takes time but its fun to watch blow up and its rewarding in the end ;D. Just slowly move in a group of about 20 infiltrators one by one into his bace all around his bace . when there all placed just select all and push D and watch the fireworks. I like when the guy goes :O WTF!! lol

[SurlyPIG]

Yeah thats always fun but a good player will see it coming.

I forgot to mention, ix are a very, VERY powerful weapon when used with atreides. They can defend projectors best from feds (scouts and minos) and from gunships (air drones). Plus infiltrators are a good weapon if your enemy is distracted with attacking you.
