House_Mars Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Erm, am i wrong to believe that westwood contradict themselves in regards to House Ordos: "House Ordos has no identifiable leader. Even the citizens on this ice-covered, remote planet have little grasp on who controls their fate. " Yet couldn't the executrix easily be considered an 'identifiable leader'?

ken124578 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 "House Ordos has no identifiable leader. Even the citizens on this ice-covered, remote planet have little grasp on who controls their fate." you just said the answer :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 The Executrix Council are/is the leader/s. They/he/it just isn't identifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenofeX Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 The Executrix arn't/isn't the identifiable leader, They/He/It are/is only the speaker of house Ordos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 The 4 guys attached to the Executrix is the leaders of the Ordos. To my guess. But i'm not totaly sure about it though.Anyways.......The Executrix will bring destruction upon the enemies of the Ordos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Okay this.Every game of Westwood's dune has got more descriptive. From only hearing the Dukes name, to actually meeting the Duke.But, does it ever say that anyone knows about the executrix? You are the supreme commander, Roma the Mentat. Maybe noone else knows?Maybe the Executrix is the Figure head.etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenofeX Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 "LEADER: Unknown. A reclusive cartel of wealthy noblemen, seem to control the finances of House Ordos - and thus, House Ordos itself. No one has ever seen them - except the few generals who formerly controlled what troops the Ordos could muster. One by one, those generals have been eliminated under mysterious circumstances.

Sardauker-Kirov Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 In short, the Ordos has multiple leaders. Which is the rich noble men.*Grins at the Quote*"The Ordos is busy enough with bickering their rights over the spice." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 The Executrix isn't the speaker, the speaker is the speaker. And in any case, if they're figureheads, who controls them? The obvious answer is the secret aristocrats. I think that the Executrix just happens to be four aristocrats who saw the advantage of working together but at the same time gave up their secret status. The other remaining aristocrats let the Executrix stay in power since they appear to be doing a good job of it and still share power secretly with those who are still secret and not attached to each other. In other words, the Executrix are/is in charge, but they/he/it is still one/four of many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Since it's not about the strategy of Ordos, but about the political structure, I move it to here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 The question you should all be asking instead is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 They probably didn't hire writers for the game. Most game developers that are new to the business think they can creatively create a killer story themselves, when in fact they need specialized writers for that. Or WW didn't have any money to spare for a writer. WW is soooo bad and stupid and unlawful and uncreative, yeah I'm sure Navaros. So when will you be making your own game development so finally you will get what you want in this cruel cruel world that does anything but let you have a way in it? ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 The Or was formed from a rich cartel of traders from an unknown, icy planet. In d2k, you meet their mentat (but no leaders) Edric O. In Emp, you see the Executrix, supposedly the actual leaders... although probably representatives of the cartel's most powerful factions.My theory is that these are just a cover-up, and Edric is really making a solidoprojection of the speaker, having taken over House Ordos.Not that it matters...

Dante Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Nonetheless, the Executric SEEMS a worthy leader. I support them. LONG LIVE THE EXECUTRIX COUNCIL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
