ethan Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 i find using 3-5 adps in groups are good. but i dont know how much they cost.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 5 x $1500, what do you think? According to my math2 skills, it should be $7500.00.And you could build more than 75 Troopers or 5 Missiles or 4 Devastators, which they are all must more efftective AA units. So its not recommended to build ADP as primary AA defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 Two AA mines cost 1200 solaris (2x600). One Gunship costs 1000 solaris. So you'd eventually lose more money than the Harkonnen player if you killed 1 Gunship for every 2 AA mines, which is inefficient.Yeah, but if you are going to die, you don't give anything about money, just to save your base...

Devastator_Mech Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Your do not need 2 AA mines to destroy a Gunship, 1 AA mine + 1 AA trooper is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 try to micromanage 30 aa mines and 30 aa troopers in AN FEW SECONDS and HOPE all the missiles in the aa mines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Who is that dumb? Countering them when they're already at YOUR base !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 wel, i don't expect you to build an outpost ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 What? Are you trying to tell me you don't build an outpost? I always build it after my 2nd or 1st warfac(depends) on my economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baronvonflames Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 i hope that everybody builds outposts, because if they dont i think they're missing a few screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 DON'T build an outpost too early, think about it about when the 2nd factory is ready.i don't expect YOU to build an outposts ::)If you think so, you're very wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty_Square Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 By what way can you? beside cheats. You can build a Gunship much faster than train an Elite, therefore, you can build an air-force much quicker than build a force of Elites.Yeah but to build a hangar you also need a factory while to get a sard barracks you only need your house's barracks.Furthermore, the Hangar takes more time to build than the sard barracks. And the sard barracks are cheaper so you build them earlier in the game, while to build up the tech tree up to the gunship you need more money, therefore you will have spend more time in which to esatblish a strong economy.So you can amass more sard elite faster than gunships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baronvonflames Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 2nd factory?? :O i must be missing a few screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Indeed Ghosty_Square, i haven't thought of that point, but you get my point, right?2nd factory?? :O i must be missing a few screwsDon't you ever build 2 or 3 warfactory?

Baronvonflames Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 i can barely ever get on and when i could i was a newb and didnt think about a 2nd or 3rd factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 You could build a devastator within 15 sec if you have 3 warfactories, is that an advantage?And within 11 sec for an assault tank.(normal game speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastator_Mech Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 I don't get your point. No matter how fast the unit is built, it's cost will always be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baronvonflames Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 if you build more than one sardaukar barracks, do the sards build faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Everything is the same, 1 structure = 100%, 2 structure = 150%, 3 or more structure = 200% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I don't get your point. No matter how fast the unit is built, it's cost will always be the same.look at like this:you have 5k and you need devastators and infantry units of the house and subhouses.normally this would be divided into: 50% for infantry units and 50% for devastators but if you build devastators too fast in an short period of time it'll more likely be 90% for the devastators and 10% for infantry units.infantry units are equally important as tanks (if its the right type and has good protection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Even so, it doesn't mean an EXTRA $100 is spent on each second building a Devastator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
