rogue1896 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 nothing against you personally or anyone here who likes to play infantry wars but i find them to be a sorry excuse for actual combat. i see it as someone who can't take actual armored units. sorry, but that's just how i feel about it. it's just too easy and there's too many damn rules to it. 'you can't build this/ you can't build that' it gets annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 It also takes too damn long especially if someone walls up his base with hundreds of mortar infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowjaw Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 Infantry war tatica of House Harkonnen can be discussed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 LOL, if you play Harkonnen in inf wars, you're a newbie. They are the worst ones you can choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Actually, the worst house in infantry war is Atreides. The only decent infantry Atreides has is the sniper. Kindjal are worthless in infantry war. The Fremen warriors make the Atreides snipers obsolete. Harkonnend is not bad in infantry war because of the flamer, as long as you match them with Fremen warriors. But of the three houses, Ordos rules the infantry war. Mortar guys have the longest range of all infantry, and their splash damage is great. Initially, all you have to create are a few chem troopers. Then nothing but Fremen warriors backed up by Mortar guys. Late-game, you simply slowly advance that line of Mortars, making sure they are backed up by Fremen warriors, towards the enemy base.

VigilVirus Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Actually the Atreides snipers ammassed can outdo the fremen snipers, cause they are so faster and cheaper to produce. The Harkonnen flamers are too slow and too easily destroyed by any other unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 True, but Fremen snipers have no chance at all against deployed mortars AND Fremen warriors, especially if you are trying to attack a base on top of a plateau like the ones on Draconis IV maps.

rogue1896 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 gee taq, you seem quite educated on infantry wars. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Yeah, I've had a few. LOL. I've tried all three houses enough in infantry war to know that Ordos rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue1896 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 sure... ::)well i suppose i just never got into the infantry war. i guess it mighta been b/c i always played vs. newbie players, no offense. it's just not much of a challenge. and since i'm an ordos player at heart i have the advantage anyway, when i'm allowed to. it's just all those damn rules. i keep hearing different ones too1) no attacking harvs2) no using harvs as weapons3) no house ordos4) no house fremen5) no house ix6) no house guild7) no house tleixau8) no first level turrets9) no factory, hangar, startport, etc. anything past refinerty is cheatingso basically if all thsoe rules were consolidated you could never be house ordos and you would only have house sardukar. so it'd all be hark and atr with sardukar. without any kind of armored units, descent turrets, or fun.

slaphapy Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 actually the best pair i have seen, unless both the players r excelent at rushing and handling their units with no help, is have one be atr and the other be ordos... atr snipers along with mortars is great and fremen snipers and reg sards too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 That would certainly work for a team. I recently kicked butt on two very good players (good in non-infantry only games) in an infantry war. My partner was Atreides, and I was Ordos. Draconis map. I protected my partner against the other two players, who were Atreides and Hark. Then I just slowly advanced and took them both out. I know I convinced them that Ordos rules in infantry war.

Devieter Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 As you guys are saying, Ordos dous rule at infantry wars, especially the chem troopers ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowjaw Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 Why didnt anyone mention about these 2 infantry units - Contaminators and saboteurs?Conatminators are also useful against infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigel6669 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 it's just all those damn rules.1) no attacking harvs4) no house fremenInfantry wars are best played on non spice maps ( so no harvs ) and using fremen will prolong the battle time.I still remember a inf battle that lasted over 210 minutes because those invisible fremen were included.About those other rules you can make an arrangement before starting the game to make it more interesting.And do not start moving all infantry at the same time because it creates major lag...

VigilVirus Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Why didnt anyone mention about these 2 infantry units - Contaminators and saboteurs?Conatminators are also useful against infantry.Both of them are useless and too easy to shoot down by either snipers or mortar.
