Most Annoying Unit

[Magna Tleilaxu]

SNIPERS, I HATE SNIPERS. I hate it when those things sneak into my base and ravege my troops. Even worse are the Mongoose, those dumb things rip up my harvesters.

[Desert_Eagle25]

Contams and Leeches.

[Devastator_Mech]

No, its the Fremens.

This once happened to me: 20 million Fedaykins sneak up at the back of my base from the back. It was weakly defended, i builded defence structure, but was soon overwhelmed by the Fedaykins. My units couldn't get to the back unless it goes around it and 3/4 of my base was cleared purely but Fedaykins.

I asked why didn't my defence structure attacked the group when its coming in, and he said the group went in bit by bit and only attacked when he reckoned there's "enough".

Contams and Leeches.

Im with desert, contaminators and leeches

[Devastator_Mech]

The contaminator could easily be killed, and the Leeches could easily be shot off, why is it annoying?

[IxianMace]

For me, the most annoying unit would be the Mongoose. The Sniper and the Leech would come equal close second. The stupid Mongoose always attack and destroy my turrets just before I sell them, and they attack my harvesters and carryalls. Snipers are annoying because they sometimes run up to my harvester and shoot it! I'm sick of hearing "Spice harvester under attack, Carryall under attack". Leeches are annoying because of their stupid larvae, but I find them more of a nuisance rather than a threat. I love killing Contaminators however, I just send repair vehicles and APCs and run them down. ;D

[Devastator_Mech]

Yeah, the mongoose is sometime a great threat when it has mixed into an undefended spice field.

[DukeLeto]

Leeches! If you don't notice, your harvestors could easily go leechy.

[Devastator_Mech]

It'll sure take ages before a harvest could turn in a leech.

[Timenn]

But it would cause great trouble. For the harvester won't be picked up by then

[IxianMace]

Especially for the Harkonnen and Ordos, since they have no way of repairing their harvesters, any damage that the leech larvae inflicts is permanent, which means that the next time they get infected, there will be a higher change that they will turn into a leech.

[Brutus]

Sandworm ;) :)

[Devastator_Mech]

What about worm?

[Timenn]

Ordos' Leech effect isn't permanent, they have selfhealing.

And Brutus meant he thinks the most annoying unit is a sandworm, am I right ? ;)

[Brutus]

Yes :)

[Devastator_Mech]

Well, the worm isn't really a unit.

Even though leech's damage is permanent to all Hark units, but most Hark units are relatively most heavily armoured, and that'll somewhat make up for the misadvantage.(it'll self-repair when there's 2 bonuses)

[Edric O]

Everything is a unit! According to the Rules.txt, even the sandstorm is a unit. :)

[Devastator_Mech]

Well then its spasticated.

[Edric O]

Yes, it moves around at random, like the worm. Except it doesn't specifically go after any units. There is no "storm attraction".

[Devastator_Mech]

There's no point in arguing abt that, no point.....

[Gobalopper]

No the storm will follow your units, I asked someone from IG about that and they admitted it. :)

[Timenn]

Hehe, sneaky people. Hehe :)

[Edric O]

Gob, did they do that on purpose or is it a bug? Or an evil twisted joke? :)

[Timenn]

Hmmm, I think it's a really programmed thing. 8)

Made because else the storm would be no danger?

[DukeLeto]

Yeah. It should follw worms around. They MAY be the cause of it, right? So it should show up after wormsign, like the storms in the movie.
