Battlestar Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 First off i've finished reading the first book and loved it and i have been looking for a good dune game and i found my way here. Even though the game has been out for awhile (however i did see it re-packaged in the new boxes) i've been meaning to pick it up. My question is, is this game worth getting still or should i just wait for a new dune game (if there is going to be one). I guess there is no demo for this game is it?

Terror Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I don't know about any emperor demo. and yes the game is out for over a year now. BUT you will never get a better dune game.... why you say? because this is probably the last one we will see, except perhaps for some fan made dune games and those games from CRYO (hardly worth trying) but that does not mean that Emperor is not fun, not at ALL. the game is still a lot of fun and this community is keeping it alive. You do need a pretty good system for it though. But if your system is somewhat modern you will be able to play this game smoothly. And the graphix aren't outdated or something, and you will love the sounds/music. so don't leave this game in the store, but get it and tell us your findings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 it's fun, except for those damn worms. They somehow are secret weapons of the computer because they never seem to attack any of their units/harvies. While mine are eaten by the dozens. no i'm not kidding. in my last game i lost at least 3 harvies in the early game to worms in less than 2 minutes.... that is REALY annoying.. also those homing whirlwinds may irritate you since they have the best AI in the ENTIRE game. they suck your men up like papers... and they just follow my soldiers :O it's just so freaken frustrating to constantly have to move your infantry to random positions and constantly see the whirlwind change course just to follow my infantry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IxianMace Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Just shove your infantry/sards inside an APC (Ordos preferably). Problem solved. :D ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 well, if i build light infantry i need quite a bit of apc's... and besides.. it takes too long and the apc isn't invulnerable to that storm either.....meaning... run boys! ruuuuun!

Terror Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 yeah i didn't figure that one out either? my mino usually doesn't prevent my infantry from going to heaven :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not force your own vehicles to crush your own infantry. ;)or i give them orders to enter back into the building, if a building is close..Only elite Atreides infantry units can re-enter their barracks. You lose the unit when this happens. ;)And don't forget to folled down the umbrellas from the fremen, otherwise they fly twice as hard.This I just don't get. ??? ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roma Atani Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 :DActually, the storms are mostly random, but have a small attraction to buildable rock. Something to keep you from completely turtling up.Oh, and I"ve seen re-packed Emperor (in the new small PC boxes) at Electronic's Boutique in the US for $5.00 ... WOW. There is no excuse now .. stick'm in your friends Xmas stockings and play a bunch of QM over the holiday school break!**ROMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Somewhere on this board, Gob told that the storms were made to engage units and buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
