Inoculator9 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 The key to this mission, IMO, is to start by building only a simple variety of buildings. Build a lot of refineries (2-3) and then a factory. Use up all your funds by producing tanks as the funds are accumulated, anything extra should be used to build a high tech factory for the future production of missile tanks. Then make sure to be attentive, so that you can run over attacking infantry with your tanks (if your observant enough this makes infantry obsolete). Then send out rading groups of 5 or 6 tanks to slowly engage enemy bases. Slowly reinforce these groups while engaging enemy harvesters. And lastly, destroy bases as they come.

Timenn Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 1 Thing is very important. Build quickly a mcv in your big base, then deploy it there and sell your entire base that is located in the center of the map. Now you have only 1 base to defend. That make things alot easier. Also build many turrets at the base entrances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Don't forget, the best turret combination on a 4*4 is 3 r-turrets and one seige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I build often a line of turrets. And 3 Siege tanks behind it. Because when all troops come from 1 side, the Siege Tanks can handle ALL infantry, how many there are of them, the Siege Tanks will handle it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 If that was in reply to my message then u'd better read mine again. I've written about a 4*4 expanse. If u haven't, well, I advise missile tanks along with the seiges coz they do a little more damage, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 Missile Tank against infantry? I believe they weren't so succesful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Confusion reigns supreme, Timenn. I meant that anybody'd do well to keep missile tanks behind a row of r-turrets along with seige tanks. I know about the missile-inf thingy. Missiles practically suck against inf. But I wonder why? I mean, missiles do a hell of a lot more damage than shells do (atleast, thats how it is on Earth, I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahgoon Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 hoping this is d2kby the way you should probably make a starport then a MCV then move it to the bottom left corner, build a refinery or two down there then sell every thing up there and build r-turrets up there and they will kill off most of the guys that come down to attack. destroy the harvesters/refinerys so they lose their source of moneysomething else, on the map screen pick the one on the left the bases are closer together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 In fact, even a modern HHRLD does more damage than a shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Fett Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I guess you're talking about 'HHRLD'. It stands for 'Hand Held Rocket Launching Device'. Its the technical name for a bazooka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahgoon Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 do you know what i am talking about ???for those who dont in the 9th mission on atreides 1. you have a choise of two bases2. chose the one on the left because the bases are closer3. build the required structures for a starport at your base to the south4. build the starport5. buy a MCV6. deploy it at your southern base7. build a couple refineries at the southern base8. sell every thing at your northern base except for the turrets & walls 9. build r-turrets at the northern base to weaken the enemy as they come down to your base to attack10. build r-turrets at the entrence to the southern base11. build a strong army and keep attacking their harvesters12. as soon as they have no hrvesters send a trike to lure the guys that havent come out to come outenter the base and eliminate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I prefer the other map in which you have 2 bases, both separated by a small gap. Its much easier to defend. Just build a row of r-turrets behind a row of sonic tanks at every opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just build a row of r-turrets behind a row of sonic tanks at every opening. you can still do that jusst dont have any valuable buildings up there. and i guess you can have like another barracks, heavy-factory, or light-factory up there but make sure that you have another one down at the bottom base. it all depends on what a person wants does anyone agree ???

Boba Fett Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I build everything in my lower base and leave the refinery and w-traps on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahgoon Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 what if you lose all of those things up there and it is good to kill the scouts and to scout out there base so you know where to hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Fett Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I DON'T lose anything there as I defend it well with turrets and tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
