Battlestar Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 I got Emperor today and after installing it i decided i would try a skirmish to see how it played.All i can say is OUCH. I got creamed big time. If anybody has any tips before i start a campaign i would greatly appreciate it.BTW, this game DOES rock :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Hehe, can't even think of any tips for games against AI. I mean the computer sucks, it is easier to beat than taking candy from a baby ;DWell, for a beginner, I suggest first playing the campaign - that gameplay will teach you everything that you need to know to beat the AI in skirmishes.

GhostHunter Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Play the tutorial and get a hang of House Atreides before you do anything else.After getting a basic feel start seeing how fast you can start building units and get a structure building order and well.......Take off from there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Just build minos or devastators or kobras until they overflow your base and then attack, don't really know what else to say... :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty_Square Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Try completing a campaign (not just one mission or two). Alternatively play online (at first you 'll be smashed every time, but you will improve much faster than by playing in single player) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undsputed Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Online tips: -tab button to ally with another player -enter to bring up a talk screen during game -backspace is like enter but talks to teammate only -make sure people know your new...just like real life, expect some people to be an ***The game is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it and learn how to fight off rushers (who send at you mass dust scouts or buzzsaws).

rogue1896 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 a few people though will actually be nice if they have the time. they'll teach you the basics and a easy build order and maybe a few strategies. i'd teach you something but i doubt you'd learn much. i haven't played in a while. i usually try to stick with games within FEW every so often so i don't learn many new tactics. :-i'll warn you though. playing online and playing against computer players are two TOTALLY different ordeals. you have no idea. make sure you're at least pretty good against computer players b4 you attempt to play an online game. it'll help b/c you'll understand the basic gameplay, strength and weaknesses of units, and maybe a tactic or two. good luck :D ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
