Regular Soldier

But they were really useful for those first few missions

Soldiers? Hmmm...troopers 0wn Infantry squads...and Atreides and Ordos get to build Trikes on the second mission anyway :P

the 2nd mission is about harvesting, not destroying the enemy base :)

You can win one of the second Atreides missions, and all of the Harkonnen and Ordos second missions by destroying the enemy base, though.

Hehe, true :P

Still, dune2 rocks 8) sometimes i wished time stood still and that dune2 was still cool. I mean as long as i'm not used to super 3d graphix with lightning and smoke effects i can realy enjoy dune2 graphix. But now.. everytime i look at it i wonder why i ever liked them

[Will]

Eh I love how some units look totally different from different angles...especially Quads and Trikes :P

[Terror]

heheh true, the siege tank however looked kinda stupid in all ways :) . I mean the building picture was awsome. A big tank in the desert. In game it's a big round thing with big dildo like weapon on it. (sorry for this abusive language)

at the first time, i actually wondered if that big fat tank was really a siegetank or just some joke.

Still, the funny gfx makes Dune II how it is, so identical, so.. cool. :)

If all the inf were beefed up a bit (especially the light inf), and cost a *lot* less, I'd still build them - I put em on rocks that are around the edge of my base, capture buildings and use em as cannon fodder. If troopers were uncrushable, it'd make them better too, and being allowed to build squads of five later in the game would make them more survivable (5 men -> 3 men ->1 man -> dead)

5 men = any tank drives over them = buh-bye slow-ass infantry.

Besides, there's a unit limit. I'd rather have more combat vehicles.

Note uncrushable troopers. Also spice in Dune2 is limited - vehicles are really quite expensive. Hence cheap inf
