Here's an interesting little thought...

[Dante]

How strong are each of the houses against themselves? What should Harkonnen do when faced with Harkonnen? Should Atreides vs Atreides rush or not? What are the best ideas when you and your opponent are Ordos?

Well for a start, BUILD LOTS OF LASER TANKS! And then use an Ixian projector to copy them and goodbye enemy Oros player.

For Harkonnen... That's your job. I rarely play Harkonnen.

And Atreides... Minos and Sonic Tanks?

Well, wadaya think?

[Dan_C.S.A.]

How about Missle Tanks mixed with infanty,could

probably work, what do you think? ???

Hark v Hark - lots of infantry - light and especially sards, buzzies, assaults and 1 or 2 catapults.

Atr v Atr - build lots of feds

[IxianMace]

Well I would say that against the same house as you are playing, you should try to build more than the other guy, and faster. Unit management also plays an important part here, you have to micromanage your units to be effective. Building more than the enemy isn't neccessarily going to ensure success.

Build buzsaw/assault tanks/missile tanks and fedaykins, A LOT of fedaykins, if you protect them correctly they can masacre any harkonen tank rush.

You should use troopers and gunturrets against gunships, don't bother using adp's because you would probably not have enough time and money to make them.

[ken124578]

Although adp's are usefull against tank rushes ;) :P

Atr-Atr Minos VS Minos what else can I say

[Dante]

I find that when playing Ordos v Ordos you should ally with Ix and then send in a fleet of copied laser tanks. It's obvious, I know, but it works. And Fedaykin vs Fedaykin really takes a long time. They must not like killing each other...

[ken124578]

No, vs an ordos or harkonen opponent you should always have some fedaykins in your army.

[Dante]

Very true. But Fedaykin vs Fedaykin just doesn't work.

[lowzeewee]

if its fed vs fed get some fremen warriors in and put them on guard then they will snipe the fed sustaining meagre inflictions

[VigilVirus]

I wonder why fed v fed doesn't work. Do they have earplugs or something? ???

[IxianMace]

Yes, it the earplugs. Fedaykin take almost no damage from sound based weapons, like other Fedaykin and Sonic Tanks.

[Timenn]

Yes, they do almost no damage. 98% of the damage of sound is absorbed by the 'Earplugs'. The funny thing is that it is also called in the code as 'Earplugs'

[Dezertfish]

Fedaykin's biggest weakness is that fremen warriors also have "earplugs", but fedaykin don't have any...helmets
