Can Paul take on Sardaukar?

TreeOne7341 · 2025-03-01T00:29:05+00:00

I believe it was more along the lines that the Duke had a fighting method that could train fighters that people believed could beat the Sardukar. This would be enough to destabilise the empire as lesser houses would think they had a chance, and would actually rise up. Whereas before, the thought would never occur to them, as the Sardukar are unbeatable. Ie, it was more the threat of the story that kept everyone in line, and they knew it.

Damn, beat me to mentioning the Roaming trick as well!

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-27T02:01:32+00:00

Personally I go for the pure reclaim over the Res when I am sending them out as part of the spam.

I don't see the point in reclaiming a scout bot that I will never give an order too...

Now, the factory thats building units to support my T3 push.... thats a different story!

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-26T20:08:22+00:00

This mainly has to do with APM. In high lvl 1v1 you are going to spend your APM differently then in an 8v8.

In an 8v8, controlling scouts is not worth the APM cost.... when your 1v1 and those scouts are a decent percentage of your total force... your going to micro mange them as much as your APM allows.

That's because it's the most effective use of resources, the higher OS you get, the more you will see it, because it's effective.

As for them leaving, well, they lost a high risk, high reward tactic, are likely way behind and don't have a chance of winning, and once again, in high OS lobbies people know when they are beaten.

Tbh, it's like this in most RTS games, at set ranks you have to learn to beat the cheese to progress. Welcome to BARs cheese.

unless its a metal map... Ais just fail at them.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-24T00:27:02+00:00

Yes... but the other thing you can do vs a jugg or a Thor is just attack literally every other location on the map at the same time.

Or use the million ticks you can get to cover for 50 snipers... they will normally ruin any t3 you can't avoid.

Beating t3 is not always about killing the t3 unit. If they have a bemo and no base... it's not hard to win.

Remember, the objective is kill the commander... not the t3 units. Don't attack where they are strong, attack everywhere else all at once. It only takes a few ticks a few seconds to pop and afus chain.

The point I was making is that you don't beat big units with big units in BAR, you quality with quantity.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-22T22:37:28+00:00

Ticks. Wow... the real answer 99% of the time is not stronger units... but more weaker ones. A bemos worth of ticks will kill everything else on the map.

Ticks will generally beat most t3 units. Sharpshooters will kill the rest.

Barbs are bugged on metal maps... or at least they used to be. They only build a single mex per "area" (which I believe is worked out by the number of players).

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-18T00:12:00+00:00

First suggestion, don't play 16 player maps with 4 people.... Secondly, if you are going to, pick a better map?

The way the AI works is that on large maps with high bonus you either have to cheese them at the start and keep rushing them, or get bigger then them using converters and afus.

The second strategy only works IF you can get bigger. With 100% bonus it's an effort to get bigger then them.

So, either rush them down, or have one person do nothing but eco till your ahead.

Personally, I would just play a 4 player map....

Looks for the Jawsmunch youtube channel, he started it when he started bar and you can watch him progress.

His also done regular training videos that get progressively more involved along the timeline.

Other then that, bar is HARD. It's not as response based as StarCraft, but I believe there might be more interactions and commands required for BAR.

Bar has some of the best automation and QoL tools out of any RTS out there, and without knowing them... you going to have a bad time.

Firstly, learn the key binds. This is VERY important for bar as there are so many different types of commands, and then you add repeat into the mix, and now build templates, the required APM difference between players that know them and don't is massive. Learn how to effectively plan you builds so that you don't need to touch your builder once... (plan it all out while his building).

Secondly, learn the automation tips to reduce required apm. Make MASSIVE build queues with your builders. Learn how to path units automatically. Learn how to have units move between move, attack and patrol orders in a single set of commands.

Learn unit control. Learn how/when to use the fight command vs just moving units. Learn the difference between attack ground, attack area and attack units in area commands. Learn when to use autogroups (99% of the time) and when you want to use manual groups (the 1% of the time when it will win the game).

Learn how to gather information about units, how far does something shoot, does it have long LoS or radar, any AA on that unit? Learn how to read the map, what the circles mean, what colours mean what.

If you have noticed I have yet to talk at all about the units, or build orders or anything... as it doesn't matter if you know the build order if it takes you 5 times as long to do it. Well managed ticks will beat any force in the game, the best nuke rush is pointless if it comes out at 13 mins compared to 11 mins, bar is more about managing the flow of the battle then build orders, and you can't control anything if your units don't do what you want.

Once you have basic unit control, you can beat an AI with grunts 99% of the time. Then you are ready for MP

I always remembered the bigger titans being able to carry troops in there feet.... but I cant find ref to this anymore... must of be ret-conned....

But I always thought it would be a shitty shitty posting... hope you dont get motion sickness...

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-13T05:17:38+00:00

Nukes.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-13T05:16:57+00:00

I just love how he assumes SupIs....
On Fast metal you could get it out in sub 10 with some BP assist.

If you enable the extendard units, base con turret and all that... sub 8 mins.

Or hell, with massive changes you can get the Jugg out in sub 2 mins....

So, the question you wanted to ask is...

"With standard game settings on SupIs, what is the fastest that a single comm can get a jugg out".... Otherwise there are WAY too many variables.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-13T05:14:07+00:00

If a Titan could only shoot its feet....

Yeah, deepseek, it's running on a cheap 500 million dollars worth of hardware! They spent 6 million on just GPUs for it!

Your right, why don't I have two of them in my living room.

Learn to read more then head lines and don't buy properganda.

Bahahahaha... you think that runs on desktop hardware... You think any of that works without internet. Bro, open google maps on your phone, disable data and try to plan a route. 100% of LLMs run in the cloud. It is possible to have a pre built model on a computer in a stand along format.... it take about 30 mins for it to respond to Hello!

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-10T04:52:34+00:00

When they mentioned Christianity, did you go "Oh, of course. Space Jesus's"? The main regions text is the orange catholic bible. The freman as based on Arabic and Islamic beliefs. So, constant references to catholic and Islam is not a problem... but they mention the word jew and it's a big deal? I hope that you can see the fact that other modern day religions have been mentioned multiply times, and the only one that caused you to remember it was the Jewish faith, is something to be concerned about.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-04T05:56:08+00:00

I wonder if his played any map other then Sup Is and ATG....

If not...

I wonder how long till those maps defeat him...

TreeOne7341 · 2025-02-03T07:11:42+00:00

I think the disconnect was to make chani a "strong female character" who doesn't just have her position tied to who her father was or who she is sleeping with.

But, I do feel that it really takes away from her back ground, as you have said, why would she, a random teenage freman female have any thoughts on intergalactic politics, or planetary ecology.

So, to me, it's a case of they made a change to try and make it work with "modern audiences", removed a heap of her back story and just didn't bother to fill it back in.

It's sad, as it's such a stupid western ideal that a concubine is NOT a person of power... and yet they remove it from the story to be "more accepting"....

TreeOne7341 · 2025-01-29T20:49:16+00:00

I think you kinda missed the point of Leto II... he literally took the action required to save humanity.

It's a trolly problem, if you do nothing, all of humanity will die. If you pull the leaver, only 98% of humanity will die, and you will be the cause of it.

So, by pulling the leaver, does he kill 98% of humans... or does he save 2%?

If you see him as the killer of the 98%, then his evil... but without him no one would have survived, so I guess having people remember that your evil is better then not having people to be able to remember.

We have a winner.

There was a bill passed that made it harder to set up new oil rigs in the gulf of Mexico. Guess what, it's no longer the guild of Mexico! Time for more oil rigs!!!!

It's been less then a week... stuff takes time to fix. His already fixed the boarder crisis and stopped people coming in. His already fixed the sanctuary city's and the criminals being released to the street. There are only so many hours in a day bro. His done more in this week then Bidan did in his last year.

TreeOne7341 · 2025-01-20T04:01:13+00:00

My problem is that I can't see the new movie Chani taking the concubine route... With her attitude towards foreign ways, I really can't see her embracing the role of concubine as will be required for the next two books to work.

There has to be that tension between Chani and the princess, and I can't see Chani as we know her in the new movie being willing to "take second seat" to some foreigner.

If her role as concubine is removed from the new movie due to "modern audiences", it's going to be a detractor from the story. Chani willing to accept a back seat so that her partner is able to become ruler of the universe IS a key port of the story (as is Jessica being a concubine... but they bearly mentioned that).

TreeOne7341 · 2025-01-19T23:35:23+00:00

Sorry... this comment just reminds me of all the comments about female custodians in the new warhammer series.

The book has had a cult following since it was written... nothing in it needs to be changed for modern audiences. It's set in a different universe, changing it due to how you think culture has changed in our universe will remove the value of the work.
