Harkonen Units: To use or not

[Fremen_Mentat]

So, you guys, can you tell me. Which Units (other then devastator) should i use. Also, How do you win with Gunseng on the civil war?

[ethan]

erm, you posted this thread twice.

you should use a combination of units, not just devs.

[thomas]

although i rarely play as harkonnen i think the having rocket troopers/infantry will work the best.

[Darkrul3r]

The best is to use a huge combination of units. like a bunch of troopers, assult tanks. buzzies etc... and devas are really only good if u can get them is a base(in my opinion)

[aox0m0xoa]

flame tanks, definitely flame tanks. they can kill a worm before it attacks usually. especially if you have more than one. they eat away ordos shields like crazy and do about the same to buildings.

[Terror]

like everyone said, get them all.

and how to beat gunseng? well... just use all the vehicles you can get. Destroy the turrets that are in your way, and you'll reach the palace quite quickly. Then it's best to use infantry to kill those 4 elite Devastators and the palace can go down.

I don't remember the mission too well.. Choosing Gunseng is definetly the hardest, but quite possible. Just hold off the attacks (including the ones from the air which are probably the most dangerous) and counter attack.. i did it from the right side of the map, but i don't know what the easiest path is

A group of 10-15 Gunships is more than enough to destroy Copec's Palace. But fly them the long way around, not in a straight line to his palace (so they don't fly directly over his base).

[lowzeewee]

fly the gunships right or left side

[House_Draco]

they are good but in the civil war use same units like the buzz saw for infantry and troopers for vehicals.

A very easy strategy is:

Use lines to defend the entrances.

Deploy your two MCV's in an corner, since they'll be nuked you have to keep them away from buildings and units.

THE LINES:

1. buzsaws, behind that 3 missile tanks with 15 troopers.

[Fremen_Mentat]

Ok. I defeated The Gunseng mission, so heres what I did:

Build 12-15 gunships. Fly them straight to the palace. You should lose 6 or 7. By the end, all should be dead, but all you need is 6 gunsips to hit the palace.

Now then, about the vehicles. I personally think 3-4 devs, backed up by a few buzzsaws, missle tanks, and assualts can win. Heck, even 3-4 devs airdroped into a unprotected part of the enemy base can win.

devs are sweet 8). period.

Dude, many people have finished that mission, it's not special.

[Fremen_Mentat]

I know, but newbies might read this topic. I just posted another way to do it.

It depends, a Harkonnen rush consists mainly of buzz's, light infantry, and troopers, but if you were say in late of a game, you would need everything Harkonnen has to win, Inkivines, missle tanks, assualt tanks, buzzs etc...

I wouldn't suggest you using troopers unless you are attacking his econemy, else, an simple engineer would be enough
