Hints
Infantry Defence - Atreides Only:


  Atreides have to be one of the strongest defenders, with the Machine Gun Tower 
  and the Missle Turret. It is simple to defend with simple Infantry, First find 
  the entrance. If possible find the main one. Build 10 Kindjal Units and 10 Snipers. 
  Place 5 Kindjal and 5 Snipers on either side of the entrance. Deploy the Kindjal 
  and bingo, you've got the kindjal to take out tanks and the snipers to take 
  out infantry.
 Infantry Offence - Atreides Only:


  This works just like the Defence but it can invlove other units. First off, 
  you'll need 10 Kindjal, 10 Snipers and four APCs. Group the Snipers into one 
  group and the Kindjal in another. Load them all into the APCs and find your 
  way to the opponent's base entrance. If there is Infantry Rock near by; the 
  APCs are not needed. First Unload the Kindjal and the Snipers, Line up the Kindjal 
  and deploy them, line the snipers behind them, note this will take place at 
  the end of the rock ramp (ON OPEN SAND) WORMS!!..Okay this is where the APCs 
  come in handy, scatter them around the Map not to far by a fair distance from 
  the infantry..Have them drive around in circles to attract worms, since they 
  are tracked they should to nicely.(Should work 98% of the time..a good waste 
  of money if a worm gets hungry for infantry.) Now any thing coming out of the 
  base should be paste. 
Sniper Offence:


  Atreides Only First off, build 6 snipers, If there are barrels around the builds 
  of the base and such..thats all you'll need. If not, add 6 Mongooses and and 
  8 Bikes to the list. That should do fair, add stronger units as the diff. goes 
  up. This should work when there are two entrances, bring the snipers around 
  rear, and start picking off Infantry{ Or barrels }. All their units should come 
  after the snipers then fly the bikes into the middle of the base to take out 
  defences and the units from behind. Then have the Mongooses paste the base. 
  


  


  Creeper Tank - Atreides Only:


  First build 5 Engineers and an APC, Pile the Engineers into the APC, park the 
  APC infront of the opponent's base. Once it cloaks, creep it slowly an inch 
  at a time, keeping it cloaked. Once the APC is deep enough without being seen, 
  unload it and take over 5 buildings. Sell them, you'll get infantry and money. 

Infantry Offence - Counter - Ordos Only:


  A simple way to take out any offence of infantry, is just a few Mortor infantry, 
  just deploy them at the top of the ramp. Out of ranges of the Kindjal and snipers. 
  They'll get a height advantage and take them out in a few seconds.


  


  Infantry Offence/defence - Ordos Style:


  The same can be done with ordos, all you need is a mortors instead and The Freman 
  Subhouse. The Freman warriors have same range as snipers and can cloak..


  


  Infernal Offence - Harkonnan Only:


  For a nice attack force from Harkonnan, not that a few tanks can't take out 
  half an opponents force. First 4-10 Inkvine Tanks and about 25 Flame troopers. 
  With the Inkvines fireing away, and the flamers igniteing the remaining waste 
  from the Inkvine's attacks. Your sure that any Infantry will be ash and you'll 
  be turning tanks into microwaves..


  


  Overwhelming Forces - Ix Sub-House:


  With any House and the Ix Subhouse, Build a duplicator and one of your strongest 
  units (Ordos:Deviator, Harkonnan:Devisator, Atredies:Sonic Tank ). Build two 
  Adv. Carryalls, and drop them near a base, On rock..I've made that mistake...Deploy 
  the Duplicator, and simply duplicate the unit you brought with it, and just 
  send the units in, not the real one..so you get a free supply of strong units 
  that build in seconds. Another trick to use on the Ordos is to duplicate the 
  enmies laser tanks..The duplicate laser tank will shoot the sheilds will refract 
  and blow both of them up. You didn't pay for your tank so no shead tears. The 
  Laser tank is also great to mass produce..as it is fast and will move away so 
  you can make more. 
Harvester Capture: 


  Destroy all of your opponent's Harvesters except for one. Get an advanced carry-all 
  and capture that remaining Harvester and put it in the corner of the map, not 
  landing the Carry-all. Because your opponent still has a harvester left, he 
  won't get another one. Your opponent's cash flow will come to a stop.
How to Use Sonic Tanks Efficiently:


  First build lots of sonic tanks and move them near the enemys base then instead 
  of sending all of the sonic tanks send one at a time so they don,t kill each 
  other when killing the enemy.
Defence for Base (ordos only):


  In there is a wide ramp buy about 8 cobras and 20 morters and 20 AAtroopers 
  and line them up at the top of the ramp (your base!) with the infantry in between 
  the cobras. Deploy the cobras & morters and they wont be able to get in! If 
  there is a small ramp use 2 cobras, 10 morters and 10 AA troopers! Anything 
  coming in will be Dead* (*but if they send Ikvines or Minotaurs have about 5 
  laser tanks charge out and keep moving them until the Minotaur/Ikvine is toast)
