Why dont you do accurate factions review? Where you show the playstile for early, mid and late game, where you show all the units, the best and situational Districts for capital cities?

I also wonder if you can get 4 players on discord and get some of the voice chatter.

I hope the announce another faction soon. I also hope they launch a 6 player map for this. I wonder with the Bene Jesserit show premiering in November we'll get another DLC to build on the hype. I know with Northgard (also made by Shiro) there was a ton of DLC.

I just lost to Fremen over hegemony. They reached 30k, I have around 29991. FML. lol

Beating the Fremen is just Pure nightmare on hegemony and its army

military = strong. seems like paper but house cor(white team) has the hardest counter i seen with its artilary but a infil mission can turn those if absolutly nes. but i ran, machine queen army. want at least 2 drone mechanics, 3+ railguns(ramps up with more) 2-4 mechs, 1 aura generator dude for support. This is the main army bulk. the mechanics and queen keep the army healed with their ability even vs main base whilst taking full aoe dmg from it. Never had to retreat once as i used supply drop 1-2 times. i use 6 of the weak front-liners that cost 2 cmd pt each. 5 for full boost and 6th for good measure. these will die as they dont heal from abilities however they make up for it in huge damage and being main target. cheap easy replace at 20mp each with no upkeep. meat shield with high dmg at little cost. In future in going to try spamming them like a hungry machine army at a main base as they get buffs to dmg against it.

thanks this is really helpful for someone who wants to learn how to game works

Totaly useless mode

Petition for weekly casted games

Would rather see replays added to the game.

This update gonna be huge for tournaments!

Vernius buff were needed. It’s a complex faction to play and so vulnerable to network breaks and base dives

No more Research Center boom at the end of

Yat he's back lol

The EMP Bomb change was probably because it was too strong vs Ix and now it's more of a proper utility option instead of being a way to shut down any Ix army.

Definitely looking forward to some casting with Spectator mode. that should be cool.

Spectator mode!

Trying to be a Vernius main so this truly helped me get a understanding g

Interesting, when i first tried this faction i made a Y in the attempt to maximise outputs.

Ah yes the one true faction that ensures your darn wifi or service provider WILL NOT JUST GIVE YOU ONE BAR!! At the cost of range of course, but hey we cant be perfect...

I like making Mecha from the start even though they cost more because they don't lose supply or trigger worms. When they're not taking cities I have them investigating sites for more resources or repairing at the advanced outpost. I'm notorious for robbing sites from competitors that are in their own back yards just so they can't have them.

Are you going to play dune awakening?

That intro is always music to my ears.

thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 i was hopping this video came out

Arrakis belongs to the Fremen

1st

Saw your Reddit posts and got here! Thanks for being so engaged with the community and glad your over 1k! Great tips and updates

"PromoSM" 😒

thanks

how can i get flying units? ive been playing for a month and i cant get it =(

I hate this house a lot playing against other players especially atreides when they can just force truces with you

Hey Bro! Please make the assassination guide for house Vernius, still waiting here. Thank you very much.

I just find Hidden Backdoor hilarious because you can make Ecaz' War Banner suckerpunch them instead of buffing them. Just a hilarious move. Also, if you are in a real troll mood: It works when two other people are fighting, too. Just cause everyone's mechanical units to tilt out and watch the fireworks.

I don't get why this game (and this channel) are not more popular. This game is fantastic! Is it perfect? No, but we need more slower-paced RTS games with a grand strategy layer, session based, etc.

Why isn’t this game more popular?

I didn't understand why did you capture this spice village at the very begining?

I love how these mechanics interact between factions. Fremen being able to cause rebellions through operations and messing with the Landsraad is pretty nifty... until you run into Harkonnen and they just go "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

Very informative. I am just starting spice wars and your Videos help out immensly. Keep it going 💪

The reason nodes cost standing to build is probably because the network is clearly AI and you're paying people to keep quiet about it.

Afaik Instill Fear *stacks* if you pillage a village multiple times. This allows a strategy where you expand in one direction at the start while pillaging repeatedly in the other direction, so when you later backfill that area it'll cost you far less authority.

I believe you underestimate the power of the two "hard" adviser from the smuggler. The one with information level is not that useful with the "information on trade", but rather interesting with extra information and influence per information level, by mid game if you manage your card well and research statecraft enough, you'll have huge amount of influence and information for free : And this open a rather unexpected victory condition for smuggler : Dune governorship. Especially, with that extra information you can easily get some assassinations going, for instance to kill the other political competitor from the game. Informations level also reduce twice as slowly. Quite useful for assassination actually, as it makes your assassination attempt more resilient. I guess the trading information for information level could be useful to "trick" an opponent into being able to install cells faster in it's territory, but I don't know how to pull this against anything else than an AI... The second hard adviser give a 20% bonus to production to isolate village, plus a protection on these villages to help you defend them or an authority half refund if you failed to defend them. Note that smuggler don't have extra authority cost from distance from the main base. Meaning, you can and should be very picky about the village you take, and only pick a village if it has amazing traits, is a natural wonder or is strategically placed (for instance, nearby a lot of opponent village to get the bonus from the research from green tech tree or bonus from listening post or data center or nearby opponent spice field with a spice trafficking station) Doing so, and being smart about it will mean : All your village will get a 20% production bonus and all your village will be surrounded by neutral village ready to be plunder for extra cash. And guess what, smuggler love to pillage villages. Also, with an unusual amount of village on natural wonder, you'll get amazing amounts of hegemony, and through craft workshops (that will work 20% faster) , you could even go for an hegemony win, but it's unlikely peeps will stop you first. But at least you'll be able to develop faster than others by reaching first the 10k hegemony bonus. The problem of course is having a patchwork of village instead of a concentrated empire is it's harder to defend. You will need to be smart about your alliance with other players, have a strong military and Airfield everywhere. But anyway, even if you loose a village in the process you'll get 50% of the authority back. If the village is too contested, just go somewhere else at another corner of the map.

Corrino without the centralized industry agent is really handicapping yourself. They are really dependent on maximizing/optimizing villages. For example, lets say you have a +1 building / +20% output village perk, you can place 2 improvement offices and 4 of said buildings. Giving a total of 560% output of a single building (4*140%). Now imagine you also have a 2nd perk or region perk that aligns with it (like minerals). And that's before the harvesters crew bonus.

13:32 I haven’t played much MP and I rather stick to conquest mode. Primarily because everyone is playing on the 1.5x speed instead of 1x and I hate sweaty RTS with laggy micro battles. Also about half the MP games I tried at least one human gets upset and leaves after some trivial setback ruining the game. Lastly I prefer odd numbers for FFA, since 4 players games can often become de facto 2v2, thankfully the AI is programmed be more fickle with alliances.

I would like for Shiro to add the same factions of the old Emperor battle for dune. The tleilaxu and the guild are the only ones missing. Where came hose ecaz?

We still need Tleilax and the Spacing Guild.

Nice review, thanks.

I think the heroes should start at 1, when it dies you get the other one. If that one dies also, you get no more.
