"This is the simplest way to win against computers and some people using House
Atreides. I don't
suggest using it more than once every 5 minutes. What you need is an Advanced
Carry All (known as ACA), Mongoose (2), Sonic Tank (if wanted), Repair Car,
Minos, and some infantry.
The first thing you do is move all of those units close (not too much) to the
enemy base. Next start disturbing the enemy with the infantry only. Now load the
ACA with the other units and carry them to an open space in the enemy's base.
Now the enemy is helpless unless they use the palace attack." - ZT
"In
Harkonnen missions which involve killing a large group of infantry (i.e kill the
Sardaukar general, destroy the Tleilaxu base) simply build a mid sized group of
buzzsaws (5-10 should do) and run the group over to complete the objective in
the first few minutes of the battle." - goatsucker
"The Atreides
Minotaurus is undoubtedly the most effective unit there is. I believe that most
maps can be completed by by a team of these long range units, some repair cars
and a few (10 or so ornithopters). Here's how:
For the first stage of the game,
defend your base with whatever units you can while you build up your minos.
Place each mino around your cliff edges and put some out on your main entrance.
Make sure they are equally spaced and in a line if possible. Make sure they are
continually repaired. If they are attacked by Inkvines or Cobras, call in the
ornithopters. They will slowly obtain chevrons. When one has achieved three
chevrons, move it back to allow others to build experience.
Slowly inch your minos
forward, capturing objectives as you go. Force fire on infantry rock to clear
any fremen. You ultimately want to end up laying siege to the enemy. You will
kick ass if you do this." - Wee Bastard
