Devastator_Mech Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 You need to spread the AA mines apart, or they'll all detonate themselves just for one target when it comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastator_Mech Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 what? You tell one mine to attack the other and the second one raise on top of it instead of detonating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxianMace Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Well I play Emperor on the resolution 1024x768, so I have a nice view of the battlefield when I zoom out. I've watched infantry units taken up by the Coriolos storm for the entire duration they've been circling in the twister once, and they keep going so high that they eventually disappeared! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 Well according to the book, should people thats caught in the twister be turned into dust? Why would you still see the infantry in one piece in the storm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 In the books, the Coriolos storm is so fierce that it will "tear the flesh from your bones, and then grind those bones to dust". Yes you're right there Anna lover, but the reason you still see infantry that haven't been turned to dust in the storm is because:1. Westwood was too lazy to create the animation.2. If you could actually see the infantry being torn apart, then the game might get a R+18 rating, instead of MA15+.IMO, there was no way the Westwood could accurately simulate the Duneuniverse completely accurately. Take the Holtzmann effect for example. Shooting an Ordos shielded unit with a laser would produce a much more devastating explosion than that which is seen in the game. According to the books, the explosion would be like a small atomic bomb. Can you imagine that in the game? 1 shot, and boom!! There goes the entire battlefield. ::) ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 The Deathhand missile(a large atomic warhead) will only take out 2 or 3 windtraps out of a group of them, then wouldn't a small atomic bomb will only take out a vehicle?

IxianMace Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I seriously do not think that the Death hand missile simulates a large atomic warhead properly. They probably just said that the Death hand carried it for dramatization purposes. I don't remember a Death hand being launched in the books, or a description of its effects in the Duneuniverse, so I can't compare it to the real game. But I don't think the that Death hand (in Emperor Battle for Dune) simulates an atomic warhead (even a small one) very realistically at all. Besides, like I said earlier, it would be impractical for Westwood to accurately simulate the complexities of the Duneuniverse. Do you Westwood would rather make a game that people like better, or a game where Dune is so harsh that people get so frustrated and end up hating it? e.g. The Coriolos is so weak compared to what it sounded like in the Dune books.

Devastator_Mech Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 When it comes to be effective, nothing beats the AA mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLContaminator Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 well the aa troops stays longer and the AAAM is only once and the troopers are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 But the AA mine do more effect in a small amount of time, have them both in your base as an aerial guard is the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
