Thank you, was looking for that one. Btw there’s a computer noise at 0:29

Android dune 2 as I can see... 🦅

Nice!

I spent almost 3 hours(my best result) to complete that mission. I rember the first time I tried I waste almost 6 hours and spice was over.. They defeated me.

The author is a superb player! Could anyone tell me what do units say please? Just couple of words I don't catch because I'm not a native and I have some listening problems.. I would be really grateful 👉👈

Everytime this guy builds a concrete slab, god kills a kitten.

Lol or another way to annoy opponent :D shoot 1 missile at his harvester. He will automatically recall him back. then return. then repeat. You can slow down his mining 50% :D Can be done with Raiders in early stage too but he has to have a Carryall active.

Also stealing :D Yeaah I'm a lifelong Ordos player. You take 2 missile launchers, scout a backdoor with Raiders. Slowly position MLs behind his Construction Yard and take 1 trooper or any infantry available (single trooper is fastest). After few rockets if you are quick you can steal the building. Build WOR at your base. Now you have Troopers from Harkonnen :D or any other tech for that matter 🤣

Its a shame that computer never knew how to use Ornithopters properly 😁 I always build 4 HT Factories or Starport if available, build orni to 90% and stop it. Prepare an attack and set them loose in the middle of attack for support.

I would build rocket towers right up into the enemy bases. Easy win.

(Ordos mission 9 comments) Hi ! It's Power. Well done friend. Here's your comments, for you and also other viewers ! At 30:01 watch at that timestamp and for the next minute. You initiate your troops movements to start attacking. You are clicking each unit individually and sending them to a gathering point. The problem is, many of these units are damaged. They have not been picked up for repairs by the Carry All, because their damage is not > than 50%. Therefore, when you select each unit individually, you should MANUALLY send those who have more than 20% damage to the Repair Hangar. Then when they are repaired, send them to the front lines. 30:10 As example, this Deviator you are sending to the frontline is almost 50% damaged. 37:45 In this mission, you have ordered lots of units from the Starport, and the stocks available seem to be holding. The amount of units available from the Starport is variable, sometimes it restocks quickly, sometimes not. Ok, cya in a new series !

I managed to complete battle for Arrakis with all three houses on the Sega Genesis

(Ordos mission 8 comments). Hi ! Well done. Here are my comments. At 25:54 if you look carefully, the price of the Siege Tanks in the Starport was only 300 credits (50% off), but you did not see it lol even though you passed on it twice 😄 34:37 KABOOM ! 🤣🤣🤣39:54 Here you can see Fremen warriors. On the Amiga version, they were armed with the "weirding devices" as in the movie; when they fired at a target, it produced an effect similar to the Sonic Tank ! That was something to see. Also on the Amiga, they were the same color as Atreides infantry. 52:00 Enemy Ornithopthers are extremely annoying because NONE of your units can fight back against them. If I had designed this game, I would have allowed Trikes and Quads, which are armed with machine guns, to shoot at flying units.

(Ordos Mission 7 comments, part 2 final) 2) Could you test the following for me please... Preamble: any structure degrades over time, even those placed on Concrete. Placing on Concrete just greatly reduced the rate of degradation. Main topic: The wall is a useful structure you can build. And when you place it and look at it closely, you can see what looks like Concrete under it. I am wondering if building a Wall automatically places a Concrete block under it ? In other words, is it better to place a Wall on Concrete, or is it a waste ? Here's a way you can test this: a) build two walls, next to each other. Place one on concrete, place the other on bare rock. Place them in a relatively safe place where they don't risk getting damaged by enemy fire. b) Let some time pass and play the mission. From time to time, click each piece of the wall, and see if the one placed on bare rock degrades faster. Cool ?

(Ordos Mission 7 comments, part 1) Hi ! It's Power. It looks like you got the right balance now between too many turrets and not enough units. Great ! Here are your tips: 1) When you get control of a Devastator, you will be in control of it for a good amount of time. Try to move it back towards the enemy base and attack (and destroy) one fragile enemy unit, like a Rocket Launcher, and THEN (D)estroy the tank. You can also alternatively fire a couple shots at an enemy unit, damage it, then move the Devastator next to it THEN (D)etonate it. Note: when you capture an enemy unit, as far as I know, the enemy will not fire on it, it still sees the unit as belonging to him. Which makes all I said above much easier to do. You can also (D)etonate next to enemy fragile building (like Spice Silo) and see the results ! (continued...)

This game was my 1st rts as an 8 year old. Ive loved the rts genre ever since

(Ordos mission 6 comments) Hello. The reason that Rocket Launchers were not available is not because you had too many. When you deplete the stocks of a particular vehicle in the Starport market, it takes some time for the stocks to replenish. Somehow the delay is longer on the PC version. Also yes, you really went overboard with the static defenses. Try to have fewer turrets and more vehicles, it's better. The Repair Station becomes very important with this strategy.

You can shoot at the spicebloom. No need to sacrifice a unit.

(Ordos mission 5 comments) Wow ! That was a hard fight. 5 units were lost to the Worm. And some tanks were lost because turrets re-appeared on top of them. Nevertheless you made it because you had a strong economy. Congratulations !

All I remember about that game is saving up for half the game for 8-10 super expensive fremen, only to have every one of them ran over by 1 Harkonnen tank. I was…..not happy😑

(Ordos mission 4 comment) Hey it's Power. Great job. For viewers wondering about the Worm: 1) Maps that have worms have 2 worms, not more, not less. 2) Once a worm has eaten 3 units, of any type, its appetite is satisfied and it goes away from the current mission being played. 3) any worm becomes active ONLY when THE PLAYER discovers it by exploring the map. Before that, it's inactive.

its crazy, all the effort you put into these video, even editing them :) DUNE 2 was the first RTS i ever played and believe me, i can appreciate the old games from back in the days VERY MUCH. i still like to play dungeon keeper from time to time.

What is with your intonation? Were you raised by Christopher Walken?

(Ordos mission 3 comments) Hi. Everything went well. I see that you took advantage of infantry's defensive bonus when located on rock. Great ! Here's a suggestion for next mission: when mission starts, build the following 3 structures to start with, in this order: 1x Windtrap, 1x Refinery, 1x Refinery. You might like it !

(Ordos mission 2 comments) Hello. I think you overcomplicated this mission. All you have to do in this mission is collect 2700 credits. Of course, you can instead destroy the enemy base, but that's just overcomplicating the mission.

(Ordos mission 1 comments) Hello. Here are a few things to look forward when later you get the Ordos Deviators ! 1) If you capture a Harkonnen Devastator, you gain control of it and you can detonate it !! (hotkey D: Destroy). You can do it immediately or even better, move it next to other Harkonnen units OR Harkonnen buildings, then detonate it ! Don't rush it, as you can keep control of the unit for a good 20 seconds or more. 2) You can capture enemy Harvesters ! And while you have control of the Harvester, you can order it to (R)eturn to base, in which case it will go to your refinery and empty itself there... and yes you will gain the credits ! It's hilarious. Looking forward to see you try it 🤣

Hello. Good performance. One thing you can do better at start of the mission is to rush a 2nd refinery. Getting a radar quickly isn't as important as having a 2nd refinery (and it gives your a 2nd harvester). You also double your spice storage capacity that way. Having a single refinery for the whole 9th mission, like you did, is quite kamikaze 😆 Also note: a damaged refinery has a reduced performance; it will refine spice slower.

I'm not sure about Carryall AI but I feel like you need (number of harvesters + 1) of them to have efficient resource gathering + cycling your units out of combat. Also, due to nature of Carryalls pickup of wounded units, they sometimes get shot down by enemy fire, remember to replace them if that happens.

I think we're not getting new episodes because you tried several times to finish Atreides mission 9 and you keep failing 🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding !

Did you know infantry can move on top of rocks? No need to shuffle them around on buildable land :)

AI? in dune though! HAHA Just teasing.

With single Construction Yard, while pumping Missile Turrets, you cannot spent gains from two Harvesters. Consider investing in a Silo or two to stockpile the excess for when you need it. Also, from what I see, the enemy seems to target Devastators and Repair Facilities for some reason, create a trap by stashing these in an area heavily guarded by turrets ;)

Hey Power :) Thank you for all your comments once again :) I will take note of these and try to incorporate them into the next and final mission with Atreides :) Have a great day!!

(mission 8 comments part 3) 6) At 25:35 You have a Spice Silo placed right next to the Yard. Spice Silos are supremely fragile are are the worst building to place next to the Yard when you're facing Death Hands. Ok, that's it !

(mission 8 comments part 2) 4) The 2nd Death Hand destroyed 2 Wind Traps, however it fell close to your Construction Yard too and the Yard lost about 40% of its health. You didn't realize that until much later. You didn't repair the Yard. Therefore all your buildings were constructed at a much slower speed (+40% construction time). 5) Take a look at your buildings placement at exactly 22:00 ... next to your Construction Yard, you have: 3 Windtraps, 1 Radar, 1 Starport. Since the Death Hand is always targeting your Yard, you would be wise to have a different base design. Placing these buildings 4-5 tiles away from the Yard would help a lot in mitigating Death Hand damage. This principle will be critical in the next mission where you will face TWO enemy palaces able to launch Death Hands, therefore hitting you twice more often. (continued...)

(mission 8 comments part 1) Hey there ! It's Power. Here are my comments. 1) Fremen Warriors: three groups of Fremen spawn when Atreides use their Palace. Therefore, if you're playing Atreides, you will not have the Fremen against you. It's still a good idea to have a pair of missile turrets in the rear of your base, since SARDAUKARS can get dropped there by dropship 2) I noticed you have a new channel logo ! Cool. 3) At 6:35 the first enemy unit is about to appear on the minimap. Look at the minimap and you will see an enemy unit appear (I think it;s a Rocket tank). Immediately after at 6:36, the first Death Hand is launched at you. Therefore on the PC version, the first Death Hand is launched at the moment you find the first enemy unit; on the Amiga version, it was when the enemy first "sees" your Construction Yard with one of its unit. (continued...)

(mission 7 comments). Hello. Nice performance ! We saw a bunch of Rocket Launchers purchased at -50% (225 CR) and Siege Tanks at -50% (300 CR). Also, yes the Sonic Tank must be micro-managed well to avoid friendly fire. And yes it has 1 fewer range than the Rocket Launcher. It can't safely attack enemy rocket turrets. Also: 1) the PC version has many improvements over the Amiga version, HOWEVER on the Amiga, only the Atreides can have Ornithopters (which makes sense). In the PC version, I can say I saw everything: first, Harkonen Ornithopters, and now ORDOS Ornithopters ?? Haha ! 2) Try the tip I previously gave you: with the Construction Yard selected, press keyboard shortcut B to build currently selected building, then press P once built to start the placement process. Using this is a sign of a great player: you don't have to move your cursor to the right and click, so you save a bit of time ;-)

(mission 6 comments). Well done overall. Yes your budget was tiny, only 2 harvesters ?? Whoa... one of the best investment you can make in the Starport is to buy a pair of Harvesters at a discount price. Try that next time. There were some heavily discounted Harvesters that I could see (however briefly) when you were scrolling down. Harvester normal price is 300, so you can expect to find Harvesters in the Starport at 120 (-60%) or 150 (-50%) credits each.

yes crush with the huge tanks ^^

Damn this reminds me of command and conquer

(mission 5 comments) Hi ! Good job overall. I laughed a lot when I saw you place your 2 infantry units on solid, dark brown patches of rock ! Hahaha ! Also: 10:02 and 19:57 A Message appears briefly on screen: "Insufficient spice storage available. Spice is lost" 😪😪😪

(comments Mission 4 Atreides) Very well done. A few comments regarding the minimap: 1) On the Amiga, the Sandworm didn't show on the minimap, but it does on the PC version. 2) On the Amiga, once you selected a unit, you could not click on the minimap to send it to that location. You had to move the current map vision to the intended destination, then click the spot you wanted the unit to move. That added substantially to the difficulty.

I beat every campaign the same summer I bought this game for my Sega Genesis. I pulled my bed mattress off the frame, right up against the TV stand, and played it every day, only stopping to sleep, eat, and sleep. I wouldn't turn the console off, would pause when I had to get up or sleep, then when I got back or woke up I'd un-pause the game and start right back where I left off. Did the same thing but a lot faster with Final Fantasy Tactics when I got it for the Playstation. Great times man, great times.

Mission 3 finished. Well done. Funny thing I noticed: the worm didn't bother any of your units, didn't eat them, even though it passed on their square. I guess that's because you're Atreides ?? If that's the case, then this is particular to the PC version, because I am 100% certain it didn't work that way on the Amiga version. P.S. yes Atreides units are a bit weaker than the rest. Their infantry do not carry missile launchers, which are useful against enemy vehicles.

Well done. Also, I'm pretty sure that if the Construction Yard is selected, pressing keyboard shortcut "B" will start construction on the current building selection, and keyboard shortcut "P" will trigger the placement process once construction is finished.

Well done. If I may suggest, for the Ordos much later, you could make 1 episode for Missions 1 and 2, and 1 episode for Missions 3 and 4. Since these missions are very short.

Hey guys. If you’re new to this channel, video or Dune 2 in general, make sure to check out my complete House Harkonnen gameplay Playlist on the channel. THIS video is the first of 9 missions with the blue House Atreides. 👍

(mission 9 comments part 3, final) ... 7) The "large, long range, powerful missile" as you call it is called "Death Hand" in the game. They are part of a class of nuclear weapons. In Dune lore, the general term for nuclear weapons is "Atomics". Here's how the Death Hand works in the game: a) it always targets your Construction Yard, if you have one. b) it's extremely inaccurate. c) It will usually miss your Construction yard, instead falling in a random direction and random distance from your shipyard. d) The enemy needs to have "seen" your Construction Yard with one of its units before their Death Hand can be fired. e) As soon as your Construction yard is located, it will be fired at for the first time. f) Building a low/very low number of structures around your shipyard is an excellent idea, since it's always being targeted. Most important/expensive/fragile structures should be built a safe distance away from it. Allright that's it !

(mission 9 comments part 2) ... 3) I saw you use the DESTROY command on a Devastator, I had a big laugh ! haha ! Big damage ! 4) You ran most of the mission on a single refinery. That was foolish looool 5) I really liked that you ordered those 3 Combat Tanks near the end of the mission. They're not that bad and very inexpensive. I remembered once buying a pack of 5 from the Starport on the last mission, because nothing else was available. 6) Here's how spice storage works: each refinery can store around 1200 spice, and each Spice Silo adds another 1000 units. Several times during the campaign you ran out of spice storage space and lost spice. The game tells you when that happens with a specific message. Investing in a pair of Spice silos is a great idea. This is also why having a single refinery is a bad thing. (continued...)

(mission 9 comments part 1) Aaaaaaaah ! What a satisfying episode !! Several times you were able to buy Starport units at the minimum price (Rocket Launchers at 180, or Heavy Siege Tanks at 240) !! It felt great. Here is a few more interesting comments. 1) On the Amiga version, it was not possible to select a group of infantry troopers (or any other unit) and order them to shoot at a "Spice Trap". The only way to "open" a Spice Trap was to run over it with a unit (usually a low cost unit), opening the trap, but destroying the unit at the same time. 2) Also, on the Amiga, only the Atreides were ever able to build Ornithopters or order them from Starport. But I see that in this version you're playing, Ornithopters were available for the Harkonens to buy from the Starport !! (continued...)
