In the late-game they use specialist units like the deviator (which can turn enemy units to your side) and the saboteur which can destroy enemy buildings. The Ordos rely on hit-and-run tactics with fast and stealth units. It takes some time to arrive at its destination, so it is best suited for destroying enemy structures. Death Hand Missile After building the Harkonnen Palace, you get the ability to launch the Death Hand Missile anywhere on the map.Building the Ix Research Center unlocks this unit. Devastator The Devastator tank has heavy armor and a very powerful plasma cannon.

This comes at the expense of having slower movement, turn and fire speed. Harkonnen Combat Tank The Harkonnen Combat Tank's advantage is its toughness.Building a High Tech Factory unlocks this unit. Sardaukar These powerful heavy troopers have a machine gun that's effective against infantry, and a rocket launcher for vehicles.Harkonnen's fighting style is to use slow but tough units. Airstrikes are faster than missiles, and so can be used to attack large groups of enemy units. Airstrike The Atreides also get the airstrike support power after building and upgrading the High Tech Factory.Note: Cloaked units can be detected by turrets and other infantry. They are invisible and have a machine gun, as well as a rocket launcher. Fremen Once you get a palace, you can build the fremen infantry unit.Note: It cannot be bought from the starport. Use its superior range to keep it away from enemy units. Its weapon is long range and quite powerful, but the tank itself has a relatively low health. Sonic Tank The Atreides' other unique vehicle is the sonic tank.It is not as quick as Ordos ones, but not as armored as Harkonnen ones either. Atreides Combat Tank The Atreides combat tank has medium armor and speed.They have a chance to explode on death, so don't group them together. Grenadier Grenadiers are an infantry artillery unit which are strong against buildings.House AtreidesĪtreides's fighting style is to use long-range units with reasonable speed and maneuverability. The unique traits of each house are listed below. The main differences between the houses are a) their unique units and b) their respective combat tanks. It may be hard for new players to see the difference between the 3 houses in Dune 2000 because the houses share so many units in common.
