This update got me back to Spice Wars after a long hiatus(got 2 L and 1 W so far, stats are nice too see). Love the variety of maps so far. The conquest were also a very welcome addition. Hope this points to a new Faction coming soon.
Well FANTASTIC news for me.. I got what I wanted atleast in part - smuggler and fremen campaigns. hope you multiplayer mains get some nice stuff too. I really want multiplayer to get the campaign modifiers for variety - EG playing on the polar sink where you trade water for solari rather than spice, or reduced troop amounts but cheaper mercs. etc etc. Thanks for the vid daevohk, keep up the good work man.
I hopped into a SP skirmish on great flat- holy moly it made me realize how balanced and well designed the base map is. There's so much great desert that turtling HAS to be the only strat, and unless you get some aggressive forward operating bases with air fields you are NEVER getting to someone's base (unless you're Frem with worms or Corino with Chronos)
The real question is does cannon fodder apply permanently, or only whilst at short range (after activated) here is why that matters: if it stops upon leaving short range, then it would be possible to make a 50CP army, that is levelled, then, build level 1s, use the ability, make more level 1s, and then either, cancel the ability or walk the dying units out of range, and get extra CP, you might think, well then you get 80CP instead of 65 but you get a -50% penalty, but if you keep doing it and get to 300CP let's say, that would break the game
Its a clickable ability that permanently transforms the unit to cannon fodder but makes them start dieing. So you can't use it for any giga cheese strat, but you can pop it and then make an extra 6 guys then run into battle with a (slighly damaged) oversized army
@@daevohk yeah, I tested that since and noticed, but it does only have a 0.5 day cooldown and it does work on mercenaries, so its still very strong in that respect I suppose
I bought the game several months ago. Just recently Ive started playing it. Is there a discord or something where I can contribute to rebuild community numbers?😅 haha
Welcome and great question. I mostly hang around 3 discords that cater to dune. The Turin Multiplayer Discord, The Dune Circuit, and Dune: Spice Wars which is the official discord. All of those have places for players to organize private games
corrino rework is just poo, that double building also plays into the way corrino gets the maintence buff for 4 of the same building type. removing one without fixing the other is why the game is in a death spiral.

Nice! We get so little communication from the dev team that updates and continued support are always a welcome surprise.
Glad to see we’re back on Arrakis again! Love the spice wars videos, and I’m happy to see them return!
Glad to see a new video from you!

Been watching your videos today, your content and guide formats are fantastic, subbing, liking, commenting for the algorithm
I appreciate that, thank you very much!

@@CaptainLanky26 all the new maps feel pretty wildly out of general balance--but that's fun too sometimes
@daevohk look forward to seeing you in the sand!
I am excited to see if this brings some more game videos from you! I enjoy your gameplay with insight commentary on the videos.
Jira ... SF environments... We found the guy in tech 🙂
Make sure all your tickets have a fixversion, parent, components...
@@RussNZ o no I doxed myself
Jira? Where do I send the sympathy card?
@@mikeswierczekbetter than ADO !....in some aspects.
@@RussNZ I never used ADO.
thanks for the update :)
What they did to my boy shaddam.
I'm confident he will be just fine
It's honestly a good change. Shaddam has great councilors and they can get played now that irulan isn't an auto pick.

Does C'Tair stealth apply to fight engineer even while they're deployed ? That could be insane
Hmmm, needs testing
They do, and I think they stay in stealth while other units are in combat

I'm finding Corrino to be just fine. I'd put them well above Ecaz or Fremen personally.
The spice is still flowing?
More like a trickle at this point
@@_TheOldMan_ The spice must trickle!
