The best units to defend a base or a spice field.

Procyon · April 3, 2003

Which would be the best units to protect a base or a spice field with the danger of the sandworms???

Muad dib · April 3, 2003

If your harkonenn, the ADP is great for protecting spice fields. The base depends on who you are and who you playin against.

lowzeewee · April 3, 2003

Atr-Kindjal+Mino

Hark-ADP

Ord-Mortar,gas,dusties and lastanks

Duncan_ghola · April 3, 2003

wrong usul, what about my airdrones and fremen against your rocket troopers

ken124578 · April 3, 2003

There's no standard defence in this game, it all depends on the player, your opponent, the map and the situation.

He said ADP,not rocket troops >:(

Duncan_ghola · April 3, 2003

Low you are realy simple minded, the reason why i mentioned rocket troopers is because thats what he would have said as a reply to my airdrones, so i managed to save us from posting an extra topic

no comprendo low? ???

lowzeewee · April 3, 2003

would have

WOULD?

Duncan_ghola · April 3, 2003

i know the mind of another player if hes lazy he would send troopers, if hes more determinded maybe a combination. ask him, ask your self aswell. "would i send troopers to defend my caryals against airdrones?" Or would you rather send flame tanks? ???

lowzeewee · April 3, 2003

anyway,the only units capable of defewnding are the rocket troops,missile tanks and ADP.

ken124578 · April 3, 2003

Which is enough to take out those drones.

SPIC FEILDS:

Atrietes:

3 air drones

3 mongoose

2 sonics

2 minos

5 deployed kinjal

Hark:

2 APD

1 deva

2 flame tanks

2 missle tanks

5 troopers

Ordos:

2 kobras

10 AA troopers

3 lasertanks

2 APC's

note that these are heavy defenses, as in nothing comes in or out type of defenses (well, maybe come out.) if its not that bad lighten up on the defense.

For all bases, a good suply of spread out turrets should be good. that is, except for Ordos. they have no AA turrets, and all there turrets are unable to hit a mino attacking them thanx to there range. so set up 3 laser, 2 kobra, 5 AA troopers, and maybe sum AA-mines per entrance. also an EITS to be detonated over enemies. :O

You put all that sh*t on one spice field, you're asking for a worm. ;)

I never said how many and it also can depend on the location.

Skilzat99X · April 4, 2003

ya the worm could be a problem, but only if its the one where it shoots up from the ground (how do u stop those anyway! ??? ) But theyll murder a normal moving worm. or if u spread them apart enough u wont have to worry.

Scy · April 4, 2003

"Artiedes":

2airdrones.

3minos.

5.sandbikes.

(maybe u need 3feds)

worm: 8snipers

"Harkonen":

7Buzzsaws.

10Troppers.

1missiletank(buzzsaws circle).

worm: 3flametanks

"Ordos":

7AATroppers.

2kobra(or if they are infantry rocks near to your spice u can use 16mortars).

4lasertanks.

worm: 20chimicals.

Oh come on!

Call THAT a defence? 3 kobra's, some lasertanks and some sardaukar would easily kill them all.

"Harkonen":
7Buzzsaws.
10Troppers.
1missiletank(buzzsaws circle).
worm: 3flametanks

hint hint: 6 kobra's + 6 lasertanks.

"Ordos":
7AATroppers.
2kobra(or if they are infantry rocks near to your spice u can use 16mortars).
4lasertanks.
worm: 20chimicals.

+- 10 kobra's + some sardaukars + 4 lasertanks.

Scy · April 4, 2003

lol...

3minos standing near to your spice and 5 sandbikes waiting to slow down a lasertanks and 8snipers targeting against your poor sardoukars.

and another looooooools!

7buzzsaw=2450$ 10troppers=900$ 1missiletank=1200$ 3fkametanks=2700$ they are cost 7250$

6kobras=7200$!! 7lasertanks=4900! they are cost 12100$

2kobras /= 10kobras (i'm too lazy to count them too)

Scy, i'm not sending in my lasertanks first, then my sardaukar and then my kobra's, what would you do when i micromanage them correctly and attack with all of them?

Dukeleeto: it wouldn't be that hard to kill those groups, taking out the kobra's/minotaurs or missiletank will give you the win.

heres a good plan, dont let them get to ur spice feild!

Scy · April 6, 2003

first u use a subhouse..! if i use a fremen, u will win??

or if u micromanage ur need good, i should look to your unit until they destroy all my units, i can micromanage too! ;D

ken124578 · April 6, 2003

I don't think you can "out micromanage" my lasertanks and kobra's, let me explain you how i'm going to use it.

First i let my kobra's come close, seeing as you only have a few bikes and minotaurs i can get them just into range so that they hit the sandbikes and minotaurs, else i'm just gonna hit 'n run you to death, the sardaukars damage/destroy some sandbikes before my kobra's have deployed themselves.

After that your sandbikes are gone and your minotaurs are destroyed by a few kobra's and lasertanks.

btw. as for those 8 snipers, manually targetting my sardaukars is bad (sardaukar mixed with some lasertanks for some temporal protection untill my kobra's are deployed)

This works, i've done it alot.

Here's my motto.

"If you always on the offensive then you won't need to build units for your spice because they will never TOUCH your fields."
