This section covers general information on House Atreides.


>

The Atreides advantage over the other houses is found in its infantry.
Whenever an Atreides infantry reaches an elite status (3 chevrons), you have the option of sending the unit into your Barracks. You lose that unit, but you can now train that particular infantry with a one chevron ranking at no extra cost. Repeat this process two more times, and you can train an infantry unit at an elite status! Very useful for Snipers.

On a totally unrelated note, pay attention to Duke Achillus. Recognize him?
The Duke is actually Michael Dorn, better known as Worf from Star Trek, among other roles (including the cartoon character I.M. Weasel).

Atreides Construction Yard

Your base of operations. Without this, you can't construct any buildings.
You can move the Yard to a new location by selecting it and ordering it to travel there. This unpacks the building into an MCV. The MCV can be deployed back into a Construction Yard. Due to its importance, the Con. Yard is extremely difficult to destroy without several units to do it.

Atreides Windtrap
-----------------
Health: 1,500                Prerequisites: Construction Yard
Cost: $225                   Tech Level: 1

Windtraps are the equivalent of Power Plants. These structures are cheap and don't take long to build. Keep in mind it doesn't take much to eliminate them, especially if they're concentrated in a small zone. Watch your power meter in the upper-right corner! Reaching "low power" disables your radar and defenses.
