atrd3m0n Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 well i guess i've to do it on my won, but i think i got it... bring the damn leeches on!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Well there also another problem that I don't think many people consider doing. The LEECH drop. ;DA single leech dropped onto an enemy spice field can wreak havoc on harvesters, and severely slow down the enemy economy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barron Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 hahahaha, I think it's funny, you think you can stop a leech attack. You might but unless you have a billion engineers and repair vehicles in a matter of minutes you will be no more. Did you guys forget about contaminators, say goodbye to all infantry. Leaving no room for leech killers. Plus the Leech in the spice fields couldn't be better.Barron Harkonnen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Well, easy, just use no vehicle, omg infantries.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Just switch the usual lines. Now infantery on the front, taking care of all leeches. And the vehicles behind. Destroying the approaching Contaminators.The same goes for the Spice Field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 What vehicles are the back row? If its minotaurus, you'll kill your own infantries because of splash damage, if its not, what else could be as effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 The infantery will simply block the leeches. And they will be dead, before they can get near the infantery so Mino's can kill them for the splash damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Which ifantry your talking about? Not much infantry could take out a leech easily....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Which ifantry your talking about? Not much infantry could take out a leech easily....... No as a matter of fact, two or three light infantry units could seriously threaten a Leech. Leeches are effective against infantry with their larvae, but they don't always hit infantry, even at point blank range, and their soft/non existant armour means that they're very vulnerable to anything that can hit them.

Devastator_Mech Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 A mino is comparatively uneffective against leeches, infantry is a much better counterer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 infantry is a much better counterer. I thought you just said that not much infantry could take out Leeches easily. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Yes if single handedly, but they have advantage over all the other vehicle except Buzzsaw, they're immune to the larvae. If the infantries are in groups, ALL Tleilaxu units shall be on their knees under the infantres.(especially Sardaukars & Fremen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Yes if single handedly, but they have advantage over all the other vehicle except Buzzsaw, Ummm, a Missile Tank will kill a Leech before the Leech even opens its mouth to spit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 You thought abt the cost, build speed and ROF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 The cost for building the structures, upgrading them, and then creating the units is about the same. But ONE on ONE, a Missile Tank will kill a Leech before the Leech can spit. Full stop. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Yes, but would you waste a salvo against it? It'll rathe choose to use inf. - leech & missiles - mino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 The salvo wouldn't be wasted as long as it killed the Leech. It's better to kill the Leech before it can infect the vehicle, rather than wait and let the vehicle get infected, take damage, and not be able to be repaired until it gets 2 chevrons.

Devastator_Mech Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 I mean, it'll rather use infantry to kill leeches and use missiles to take out the "big guns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
