What I dont understand in this mission is that the briefing says that the Harkonnen and Atreides will fight and annihilate each other, how ever they are allied in the mission..dosent seem right
I just whish I had an attack move command in emperor battle for dune, dune 2000 I can live with but in emperor my guys would get slaughtered before they reached an enemy base further on in the game because buidling stuff at my base and my guys would not shot enemy sturctures unless I tell them too
@Sinco0 I know you said this 10 months ago but there's actually an update for Emperor: Battle for Dune that gives the game the attack move command. It helps A LOT!
@xDoomguy666x really? I'll look forward to it, but right now I solved the problem by STOPPING units manually, so they attack automatically (in guard mode)
@lordvivecjjj STOPPING your units manually is certainly a great way to solve that problem, especially in moments that call for it. Most of the old Westwood games worked that way, but Emperor is one of the first games (after an update) that utilized that command in the CnC/Dune series RTS. You should check out Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars... I may get a lot of heat for this but I feel that it is a far better strategy game then Starcraft 2! That's right I said it!
@xDoomguy666x nawhh...definitely not.C&C3 is a DECENT strategy game,but 1)it has almost nothing to do with the original C&C brand (which was already dead since Westwood melted with EA, and from Generals on)
2) I must say, I don't like modern RTS because they rely heavily on micromanagement (which sounds pretty pointless to me,I mean c'mon, combat should be automated...)
I like Westwood games most since they don't require some crazy MM like Age of Empires, Starcraft and such. Just plain combat
Yes, micromanagement is THE KEY to victory! ANY IDIOT can build over 9000 units and attack, but good micro player can repel your armada with minimal losses! That's what I LOVE about modern RTS! I love C&C 3 and RA3! Haters can suck my dick!
@AndrewtheDuke then they shouldn't be called "strategy games" in the first place. Just like FPS aren't necessarily "tactical", those korean-style, click-as-fast-as-you-can games can't realistically be called "strategy" games.
I wouldn't care anyway since I don't play what I don't like.If it wasn't for the fact that "REAL" real time strategy games aren't being made anymore, to meet the market requests -and the market requests are made by ppl who think you way, that explains alot
@AndrewtheDuke to play decently C&C3 I had to made an absurdly complicated shortcut key scheme, to be able to select "groups" made of 1, max 2 units.How can you find this funny?This stuff drives people nuts.
And I don't want even MENTION ra3. Just think about this. I STOLE that game - that is, I bought it from a store, then installed it then I returned it back claiming it doesn't work.
But it still worked on my pc, but I uninstalled it anyway cus it FUCKIN' SUCKS, it's childish!
Oh, yeah! You love this simple scheme like: assemble a horde of super-units - attack- win. How can you find this funny? That's too simple and BORING! You will ALWAYS lose in multiplayer with such a strategy.
@AndrewtheDuke One last thing, I actually am NOT saying that Westwood games are "real strategy games"... I RESPECT this games 'cus they're "plain-old funny" so to speak, but since EA took over Westwood, they simply RUINED the C&C franchise. C&C 4 is RIDICULOUS, they even took away the whole GODDAMN BASE! WTF, they are ruining a 10 years old glorious franchise! STOP THEM!
I can only agree with you about C&C 4. Don't you know that EA LA got closed because C&C 4 is FAIL. Now BioWare is developing Generals 2. It can't suck because it's BioWare & frostbite 2.:P
THIS IS NOT A SUICIDE MISSION. HE SAID 3.9% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AND NOT 0. I BELIEVE 3.9 IS MUCH BETTER THAN 0. AND BESIDES, IVE BEATEN THIS MISSION. =P
Youre kind of right Arrinao. Edric O makes the both forces collapse. He always tries to make Atreides againts Harkonnen, and while they battle, jack all the harvesters with deviators, or attack the weaker base. I like your point Arrinao. But i gotta say. The Atreides and the Harkonnen are sworn enemies, which makes 'em barely pair up together. It's like saying "combine water with fire." But unfortuantely mission 9, Ordos side. Thats what makes "fire" be "friends" with "water"
Yeah and he remindes me of CABAL Kanes Ai. I wounder if thats where Cabal came from from robotic ordos leader into a Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform as its both computer and alive.
Just remeber that 3.9% is a probability based on factual information from pass results. Reality and Quanitive data are not fractional but deviced on singlar paths of though. One prodicts the other in reality, good againts the living is another. Unseen factor and varibles can change with a breese of the wind. This is why a human can win againts any machine. While we think linear as they do we also debait other outcomes or create them out of the blue or make false paths.
yeah and his strategic skills also seems to not match the capabilities of the other two Mentats. Both of them separate the two enemy factions and finish off one of them, instead of letting them into each other, which can result in potential alliance between A and H. Ordos last mission is thus one of the hardest n Dune 2000. Atreides +Harkonnen +Sardaukar against you. Double Death Hand rules...
The Saboteur is very powerful. You just have to be more tactical with your attacks. The Saboteur has stealth however near other infantry soldiers he will be revealed until he moves away from them. Use it to take out turrets and go for the enemy's windtrap's, heavy factory, or refineries. I bring a group of five and send them one by one after I create a diversion by attacking another part of their base.
Time to go play Dune 2000. I wonder if anyone still hangs around in Multiplayer. Last time though these dudes hung out in there with programs to hack into ppls PC.
it is the spice, the spice makes their eyes blue, the deeper the blue the more spice the person is taking, unless they're a honored matres, then their eyes would be a semi glowing orange, and that's due to muscle enhancing steroids.
Let me ask you something, why Red Alert 3 with all the big names and money, publicicty(well, is like we say in our country, grasa!!!).
This game holds better ambientation, they dont need a hot chick to make me play it, they dont a need the Obama girl(jumping the sharck already?).this shows how desperate EA is, the game will suck, is not going to be a classic, of course is gonna have great ratings, but it gonna suck compared to its antecessors(in gameplay!), but of course that's my opinion.
in gameplay i don't know if it'll suck, let's face it, red alert 2 doesn't have as good gameplay as the rest c&c.
In cinematics it does SUCK HARD. How the hell did they replace the cool character tanya with that stupid blonde, who always seems to be staring at... nothing. How can even she be a fucking soldier???? Let alone surpass tanya..or the awsome president and romanov with them.. EA has done it again! screwed one more game series
It is even stranger that almost 90 years passed between the two Red Alerts, and Tanya still haven't aged a bit. Must be high on Melange as well, I suppose :D
BTW, Edric O is the best of all Mentats, I love when he states "that is the mission", and when he suggests that I should do what is "effective" :)
What I dont understand in this mission is that the briefing says that the Harkonnen and Atreides will fight and annihilate each other, how ever they are allied in the mission..dosent seem right
