Harkonnen Mission 9 (Part 2)
How to proceed?
Welcome back, Dune warriors!
Today I am going to show, how to proceed with Harkonnen Mission 9
Even though the hardest part was done in Part 1, and the base was secured, you can still make silly mistakes to make this mission long and painful.
First, take a look at the southern turrets that should have been there already in the previous episode. And also, repair pad was still missing. I usually place it is close to where I keep my units, so it would be easier to repair.
I have already built Palace in the north and Research Center to save your time. You can place them anyhow you like, but the options are limited because there isn't much room in the base. So my Research Center is in the South, which is not the best location.
Notice that I didn't build Light Factory at all. You won't need it!
Alright, let's continue! Before you proceed to strike, you need to open the map. To do that, you should order lightweight and fast units, such as Trikes and send them out.
You can do it through the starport!
While opening map, keep ordering units through the starport and building Devastators directly from the heavy factory. Devastators will come in handy later on!
Once you know where you are going, build as many units as you can fit in your base. There isn't much space but it's better to keep them there. Take your time, it will save your time later on. It's better to start your strike with huge army than lose half of the battles.
Once you feel confident enough, go to conquer one enemy base at the time. It's better to keep your army close together and let enemy approach you. So make sure you always wait your slower units to arrive before you proceed.
It's very effective to attack one enemy unit at the time but you can also let your army defend automatically, if you have enough units.
That's it. Enjoy destroying enemy bases!
