some things you should know before playing in multiplayer:

[ken124578]

i have a friend which plays emp, and use you him to try the strategy that i think of.

you're buddy SUCKS if he gives you all those strategy's.

[Devastator_Mech]

Can't you read?

I give him MY strategy and ask him to try it out for me.

[ken124578]

oh, i thought you meant that he's telling you all HIS "strategy's"

[gunner154]

ok i didnt read the whole thing but i can see someone is being attacked verbally here

1.) Scouts are some of the best things you can use to distract the enemy.

2.) Sards CAN handle a mino by himself (use the elites, TRY IT)

3.) 3 Feds don't do enough damage at one shot to kill a mino, but do a lot of damage.

[IxianMace]

3.) 3 Feds don't do enough damage at one shot to kill a mino, but do a lot of damage.

Provided that both the Mino and the 3 Fedaykin units all have no chevrons, 3 Fedaykin will kill a Mino in 1 shot. You must stand as close as you can possibly get to the Mino without being revealed and without being trampled on (shoot from behind or the sides) with the Fedaykin and then shoot the Mino. The Mino should die. Fedaykin do less damage the further away from a target they are when they shoot. To inflict maximum damage, you should always stand your Fedaykin as close as possible to any target before shooting.

2.) Sards CAN handle a mino by himself (use the elites, TRY IT)

3.) 3 Feds don't do enough damage at one shot to kill a mino, but do a lot of damage.

2. Yes, if there's enough of them 4 or 5 is needed to be effective.

3. Just as IxianMace said, just to note 3 Fredaykins could kill a Kobra too even though it has tougher armor than a mino, but that makes no difference.

2.) Sards CAN handle a mino by himself (use the elites, TRY IT)

no 1 sard. elite cannot handle 1 minotaur, it can survive 1 rounds if its barrels.

[Devastator_Mech]

Could it survive the second one?

[ken124578]

if the sard. elite is just standing there, no.

[Devastator_Mech]

Only survive the first one won't help much, if you want an Elite to kill a mino 1v1, it must atleast survive 2 salvo.

[ken124578]

i didn't say 1 sard elite can kill an minotaur 1 on 1

[Devastator_Mech]

Why even bother mentioning it then?

Just to note an Imperial Sardaukar could survive a full salvo from the Minotaurus too(with a nano-millimetre health left) as well as the Imperial Sardaukar Elite (with more health left than the Imperial Sardaukar)

[ken124578]

perhaps... but it can't survive an full blow like the sard. elite.

[Devastator_Mech]

Not perhaps, i'm more than sure it can.

[ken124578]

no, an normal sardaukar cannot survive an full blow of the minotaur.

[Devastator_Mech]

I tried it, and not problem.

[ken124578]

ahum, i am sure 1 tiny sardaukar cannot survive 4 HITS OF AN MINOTAUR!! >:(

[Devastator_Mech]

Unless minotarus do less damage to friendly unit, that would not be possible. Tiny? You consider an Elite to be very BIG?

[ken124578]

in army? yes.

and annelover, just make 1 sardaukar, put it at an spot on the map, let the minotaur attack the sardaukar. lets see if he survives.

[Devastator_Mech]

I did, and the result was the Imperial Sardaukar SURVIVED with very little health left.

[Timenn]

Well, show it each other on WOL, and let's get back to topic

[ken124578]

anne lover, you aren't understanding my point, oh wel it isn't worth explaining it again, everyone knows an normall sardaukar cannot survive 4 hits of an minotaur.

[Devastator_Mech]

There is some unexpected factors.

When all the mino shots hits an ENEMY Imperial Sardaukar, it'll die. I said it can withstand a whole salvo is because i once tried it to my OWN Imperial Sardaukar and it survived.

So the conclusion is, it CANNOT survive a full salvo from an ENEMY mino, but it can for an ALLIED one. Meaning a allied units will do less damage to your own unit which is a factor i did not realise before the test with ken124578.
