Engineers are for pussies

[Repoman]

Don't get me wrong but i think emperor is the best game of all time.

but....

The engineer concept needs to be worked on. The game holds a certain degree of realism until you get to the engineers. One guy can completly take over a factory or mcv, with the 3 infantry inside it waving and egging the engineer on. The infantry should be able to defend their building from within the building. Once the infantry have been taken out then a engineer should be able to take over the building.

The could be so many other ways theat emporer should have used the engineers like getting them to upgrade buildings and repair buildings What are your thoughts?

[AWACS]

I disagree, the use of these engineers can provide some very useful tactics.

Ok we need an advanced carry-all, and APC and an engine.....

[Repoman]

not only does the engineer take over the building but he also takes over the 3 infantry inside and persuades them to join him...

come on that is wrong

[AWACS]

Sorry My brother is a retard and he diagrees with you and he decided to comandeer the computer at that time

I agree with you in thinking that one man can't take over a whole building, while other people are in the building.

[Apollyon]

not only does the engineer take over the building but he also takes over the 3 infantry inside and persuades them to join him...

come on that is wrong

i think the original dune 2 idea is better

u have to use many light infantry to take down the building health to red and then use another light infantry to take it over

[AWACS]

even tho i never had dune2k i think that is mutch bettr idea anyway whos heard of engineers used to take over buildings don't they mend cars n' stuff

[atrd3m0n]

Pls close this topic it's stupid ::)

[Repoman]

Why would you call debating a part of emperor in a emperor forum stupid. ::) That is the whole concept of a forum.

Its stupid that you called it stupid stupid. :P

[Navaros]

I agree wholeheartedly with the title of this topic.

I remember kicking Cowhades' butt in QM and he was such a sore loser he had to try to engineer me. LOL

[Marcel71]

Shut up Nav...

Everybody could engi you, even my baby brother...

[Navaros]

yeah right Marcel you are just jealous because you could NEVER beat me in that game on divided country until your gunships got my conyard because my OWN Engineer didn't move into like I commanded him to, because of pathfinding bugs. I know you remember that game, and I know that you know you could never have won if that Engineer pathfinding bug didn't let you kill my conyard... but knowing you you'll probably lie about it.

[Marcel71]

LOL, I beat you, and YOU NEVER BEAT ME...

And in another thread u compared yourself to me. Like u are as good as i, BIG LOL...

You are as good as the crap i shit on the toilet

You will probably come with lame excuses like: my engi did not want to enter bla bla bla ::)

[Navaros]

yes I did marcel LOL and you would NOT have beat me in that game unless the Engineer pathfinding bug let you win as was the case in that game on divided country. That is why you have to struggle with me, because you are so much better. hahahahahah ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the only thing you are good at is rushing idiots who are too stupid to realize they should quit under 3, oh and let's not forget multinicking

[Anathema]

Wow....

I liked the multi-engineer system from Ra best. You'd need to damage the buildings into the red before an engineer could capture it.

[Marcel71]

Hehe, LOL Nav, you probably beat me in your dreams ;D

Must have been the best dream ever :P

[ethan]

tch, engineers are pretty harmless if you know what you're doing in defensive.

so, basically, if you haven't mastered using engineers or defending against them, you arent going to be a good player. if a newb could do an airdrop and beat you, you need some help.

so nav must be a newb.... :D

[Navaros]

hahahah ethan your ignorance is beyond measurement. go read some of your own posts before you call anyone else a newbie ROFL (esp. in the strat forum hhahahahahahah)

[Repoman]

i think maybe opposing infantry i.e 3 infantry have to go into the building kill the infantry inside it rendering the building inoperative until either person puts a engineer back in it. If that person decides not to put infantry inside the building the that the opposition should be able to run a single engineer to take back the building.

right back at ya, foolio.

maybe the engineer is like a stealth jackie chan, you know, sneaky guy.

[atrd3m0n]

Gosh, Nav is back...and it dont seem he has learned anything.

Here's my opinion on engineers.

Engineers are to steal buildings, remove leeches and to repair buildings.

And why would engineering be for pussies? Anyone who is vulnerable for a engidrop deserves it. Cos if I see a base wide open, and the easiest way to take you out is by engieing you, hell yeah I'll drop yo ass. Nothing more fun then killing a base with engineers and a bunch of turrets.

They are just part of the game, so deal with it.

Anyone who dies because he gets engidropped, had it commin.

Maybe then they learn to consider the possibility they might get engidropped, and anticipate to that possibility.

Only pussies can't deal with engineers. 8)

at i agree that they shouldn't be taken out just that it should be made more difficult for them to do their job. The apcs are essentially used only for engineer drops and that sux. one guy with a pistol taking out 3 infantry with M16's inside a building

i dont think so

ahem, max payne did it... m,any times

[IxianMace]

The fact that you get 3 infantry when you sell the building is just a feature of the game. Emperor Battle for Dune isn't some FPS game where covert ops go inside buildings, kill the men already in there, and then take it over. ::) Engineers are just part of the game, if you don't like it, then too bad, it's there, just like all the pathfinding bugs etc, etc, etc. You can't make everyone happy all at the same time. :P

[babyface]

I think u got the title wrong:

"Engineers are for pussies"

It should be

"Pussies are for engineers" ;D (as i am one in real life ;D)
