#61 Did you know that you receive a free harvestor if you lose all your other harvestors?

I believe this is false.

Correction:You receive a free harvester if any one of your refineries is not without a harvester.

Therefore: You build 2 refineries. You lose all your harvesters. A new harvester arrives at BOTH refineries. Therefore, you get 2 new, free harvesters.

Please check this if you are in doubt.

DukeLeto · April 2, 2003

Yeah, I think IxianMace is right.

ken124578 · April 2, 2003

He's partly right, making 2 refineries would mean that you have a minimum amount of harvestors of 2, every refinery that you build increases this number by 1, so if your harvestor amount gets lower then 2 (if you have 2 refineries) you get 1 for free delivered by carryall (not getting the carryall with it though)

I originally meant this, might've thought about something else while typing that :-

Ken,

Thanks for all this info it surely will help the people who need help or just to know.

#40 Did you know that units walking over or close to a spice bubble burst the spice bubble? (excluding the fremen)

Maybe I think you mean INCLUDING the fremen..... ;)

Devastator_Mech · June 3, 2003

#16 Did you that the fremen warrior fires twice as fast as the atreides sniper but with twice as weaker bullets

Did you know that your totally wrong? I'm not sure if a Sniper's shot is twice as powerful as the Warriors, but I can guarantee you with my house that a Warrior's ROF is NOT ONLY twice as quick as the Atreidies Sniper. A Warrior's ROF is almost 5 times of the Atreidies Sniper's ROF. (To be exact, its 4.5 times)(both no chervon)(Is exactly 5 times if the Warrior has 3 chervon and if the Sniper has no chervon

Actually:

[ATSniperGun]
Bullet = cal50_B
TurretMuzzleFlash = Smuzz2
ReloadCount = 76
--------
[FRFremenGun]
Bullet = cal50_b
ReloadCount = 40
TurretMuzzleFlash = Smuzz2

Dev_Mech, twice as fast is about right. But Ken, they use the same bullet, hence have the same range and do the same damage with the same modifiers.

henry · July 2, 2003

Can anyone post the stats of all units or give a link of that?

ken124578 · July 25, 2003

I've spent another hour(s) getting all the unit averages and changing some colours.

All the unit averages are in the newbie guide.

Colours have been added.

I might add more things before i leave for a week but i forgot what. ???

btw. here's the original 'unit statistics' thread: http://www.dune2k.com/forum/?board=17;action=display;threadid=9298

ken124578 · August 31, 2003

I just added the keyboard hotlinks section in post #4 (for the people who lost their manual or don't understand how a function works. :)) and i put in links to some good discussions in the emperor strategy board and links to other emperor strategy sites.

Dunenewt · August 31, 2003

There's nothing about the Sniper :-

Devastator_Mech · September 7, 2003

Dev_Mech, twice as fast is about right. But Ken, they use the same bullet, hence have the same range and do the same damage with the same modifiers.

How about you just try it in-game yourself?

Because I've tried it myself.

Apollyon · September 7, 2003

Yeah, afterall the core programming of the game often lies...

wraith126 · September 14, 2003

so isnt that kinda unbalanced? lol

150 for a visible sniper with loads of delay after firing

150 for an invisible sniper with same damage AND fires faster

ken124578 · September 20, 2003

Emperor is like a puzzle and every piece of the puzzle fits in. ;) That includes the atreides sniper and the fremen warrior.

Inoculator9 · September 20, 2003

Quite right :)

Dunenewt · September 20, 2003

There's nothing about the Sniper :-

In the Newbie Guide that is

ken124578 · September 20, 2003

You're welcome to post the subhouse sections (just like how i did) and i'll add them to the newbie guide and credit you for them. :)

Dunenewt · September 20, 2003

There's nothing about the Atreides Sniper but I'll take up your offer anyway.

ken124578 · September 20, 2003

That's strange... i clearly remember typing in the atreides' sniper info in the atreides section. I even put the atreides sniper up for community voting in the unit statistics thread.

Anyway, IM the statistics to me including the atreides sniper's unit statistics. (calculate the average community rating of the atreides sniper, no copying dune2k's statistics, they have to be yours ;))

jeff2429 · September 23, 2003

In the did u know #11 says, Did you know that the spice harvester holds 700 Solaris when it's full?

Well for some reason I happened apon that partiular thing that my eye caught. The spice harvester holds 800 Solaris when it is full. On Dune 2000 it held 700 Solaris.

Apollyon · September 23, 2003

No, it's 700.

jeff2429 · September 23, 2003

Well then I dont know what to say. You say it is 700 but when I played I watched and my 10k went up to 10,800. I did not get a crate or build or do anything.

So -+Doctus Apollyon+- what is ur brillant :P answer to that.
