death angel Posted October 8, 2002 Author Share Posted October 8, 2002 Well,I took this strategy from a chinese book called the"Art of War".It is to take down the allies first.well,now I know it is COMMON SENSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 so what, your blameing a book for your mistakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death angel Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 I will not blame a book or a living thing!I know everyone has different styles some prefer going by the main entrance while others sneak into through the backdoor.I prefer the "BACKDOOR" so I choose to take down all the enemy's allies. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I like to lure the emperors units out onto the sand. there are three big worms in that level and they somehow love to stay on the enemy's side of the map when I am playing. sards must tast better, who knows.then when they have lost some key defensive units that would have prohibited me from total domination, i move in for the kill, i can usually take out both bases with three or four medium sized attack forces. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 there is no ultimate strategy... as long as it works it is a good strategy ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 that is very true, I like to know what other people use in situations, It helps alot, because whether I am better than the next player or not I always learn something. like a new combo, or way in which that the enemy will attack. once, I played against this guy who absolutely loved his turrets, I was forced to learn in a hurry cuz I had no idea way back then that a missile tanks range was one cubit longer than a turret's. I have played many, many people who use what seems like thousands of the same unit in an attack.I guarantee that I am not the pefect fighter, But I am always learning, and someday, hopefully I will learn some perfect strat for any situation. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 that's what i keep telling myself ;)but sure.. you'll always learn.. even when fighting newbies. Replays often help a lot though... too bad Emperor does not support it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 amen brother, I do get so annoyed with some players that use the same attack over and over though. And then you play against the next guy, and he uses the same attack. I want to learn new things, but am prevented most of the time because of the lack of diversity in many players. I noticed that I Have Played many, many so called "experienced players" and they almost all use the same strat's some better than others, but I do get flustered sometimes, you probably know what I am talking about.

Terror Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 that is true. But i think that's the fault of Westwood games. Often one attack is easy to do and very effective usually. It's hard to beat it with another strategy. Some other games have this problem also but Westwood has the most :(Microing can be an important factor to victory. Also try flanking. It is more effective than you might think.. it's hard to learn but i found out that it works very well in every game. (well in some better than in others) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 yeah both of those strats are very effective, have you ever tried catching the attention of a worm on purpose to have it chase your trike all the way to your enemies base, since worms love the taste of missile and siege tanks much more than that of trikes, the trike is spared and the heavy vehicles of your opponent is eaten.that is a fun one, but I also love my airstrikes. Taking out key buildings and units. I wish airstikes had more armor, cuz it only takes one shot from a missile tank to take out one of your three orni's.

IxianMace Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Actually it takes two shots from a missile tank to take out an ornithopter, three shots from a rocket turret will also do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 artreides missile tanks shoot two missiles at a time, so I count it as one shot. rocket turrets are one of my main defences around my bases but I hardly ever use more than 4-5 of them, unlike some of these guys that place them in rows and rows, making a huge waste of time. I like mobility so I usually stick with vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 artreides missile tanks shoot two missiles at a time,Huh? This is Dune 2000 right? I'm positive that Atreides Missile Tanks are exactly the same as Harkonnen Missile Tanks in the way they work. They both fire one missile at a time. I've never heard of any Missile Tank firing two missiles at the same time. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarupunk Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 sorry, my brain was not working that morning, I was thinking of Dune for the genesis system, they fire two at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 there is no ultimate strategy... as long as it works it is a good strategy ^-^ I like that line; where did u get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 euh.. i made that up ::) :Pwell it's true i guess, if my strategy works, i'm quite pleased with myself, even though it might not work again in another game, for the moment it worked :)everyone designs new strategies every new battle, no strategy is the same... you always adopt yourself to the current circumstances(well there are exceptions, like one of my friends who is so lazy at thinking of a strategy that it is a horror to see his forces being butchered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 When I get bored(which rarely ever happens) I like sending some infantry (bouta hundred) outside the enemy base and see how long they last. Nother reason I send infantry- I like their piteous cries on getting crushed ;D (Ain't I quite the perfect little sadist?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 heh perhaps, but i got some guy who keeps asking me on MSN if i know some games where you can tortute people, cutting off limbs and stuff. :) if that's all he cares about, i don't think i should give him any of those games, cuz it will only turn out bad.

Boba Fett Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Ur pal and I share a lot in common,Flameweaver. Know any game like that besides the Half Life series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 yeah, Postal 2 (not out yet) or Die by the Sword. Die by the Sword is pretty gore, cuz you can cut off everything, without killing your enemy, be it legs, arms pieces of shoulders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 OOOH YEEEAAAAH! Tell me more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 well, what can i say. You play Eric, a warrior armed with sword and shield and you walk around in caves and stuff. Fighting and killing cobolds, pigmen, ogre's and more. You can cut off every limb, and more blablaYou can grab heads, arms, legs and whatever comes off those bodies and use that to kill other enemies. (you can for instance grab a pigman arm, with an axe still attached to it and kill another pigmen with that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
