Firstly, I have to say this is an excellent mod. Very well done thematically. All the civs are great.
But . . .
I have this problem. I can't seem to wrap my head around the strategies needed to win. I am a long time player of FFH where I play at Monarch - Immortal depending on how much of a challenge I want.
I have played several games of Dune Wars on ** Noble ** and I am still having trouble.
- All of the hard counters make it very difficult to take cities.
- Most of the siege requires Nitrates? and if you don't have this resource you are never going to take cities.
- Spice monopoly victory is extremely difficult to achieve. Basically this is a domination victory. Even spamming spies to kill enemy spice harvestors won't get you the win unless you own half the map or more.
- I have lost to the AI several times now via transformation victory. Mostly the AI doesn't even have to do anything. Just get a decent amount of land to begin with and then win 250 turns later. I think the percent needs to be raised to 5% at least.
- Those spammed Mahdi units from the Fremen and Bene Gesserit are extremely annoying to counter.
All in all, unless you go for an early rush and wipe out your next door neighbour, you will have a great difficulty dislodging an entrenched enemy due to all the hard counters that they pile in their cities.
So either you win by transformation yourself or else early rush.
Tell me I'm wrong and that I just suck at the mod Then please give me some good hints to win other than by transformation.
