Since nobody voted for over 12 hours I guess we can say A5 is the Hivemind's choice. There is only one more vote for 5 than there is for 7. So raping smugglers it is.

Truth be told, the mission IS fun. But It'd be much better to ally with the Sardaukar first :/
B8 here, we are unorthodox in our ways, and at the same time deal with the Andhairans.. win!
of course, my vote is too late and too irrelevant, but hey, whatever.

I delayed the update so that I could conserve bandwidth on the laptop until the 9th. Now after I uploaded everything from my desktop and written the entire update it turns out I used up my 10 GB bandwidth limit on photobucket.
ugh now I'll have to make another account, upload all of it there and change all the URLs
Although I guess I could make a macro in MS Word to makes the URL changing automatic.
Either way expect an update in the next 24 hours unless photobucket fucks me over by not allowing another account.
Fuck photobucket, use imgur instead.
Have you not been granted space on the Codex image service ? Prosperous LP'ers should have some.
Yeah, switch to imgur. A free account at Photobucket is only good for LPing older games where there are fewer colours and images weight less.
Apart from imgur, there's also Wordpress. I haven't used it myself, but spekkio recently told me it's good, so you can try that.

Update 6: A harvester is removed from the inventory.
Music - Defenders of Arrakis
As always the Ordos will get superior reinforcements. It's not like that will help them.
So much killing to do
Not as
as the the inkvine incline catapult but these will have their uses. They're very cost effective with only one flaw, they're slow as shit.
We got a devastator as part of our starting forces. Isn't that nice? Also we need to use some smuggler diplomacy.
An incline catapult and a devastator can easily defend against the shitty Ordos offensive.
In the north a scout finds a wrecked ship and some valuable salvage.
: Our scouts said if we go through the southern rocky terrain we can easily avoid Ordos patrols. I have a bad feeling about this. It's never this easy to get away with stolen goods.
: Kill them all and take back what they stole.
: I knew something was going to go horribly wrong! I'll kill my contact for not telling me this shit was harkonnen property.
Wait why are you shooting the harvester...
Yeah Westwood didn't flag the Harvester as allied. Since it was moving at the head of the smuggler convoy our trigger-happy Harkonnen troopers blew it up.
Whatever it's just one harvester, we have smugglers and Ordos to kill.
: I gotta get out of here before I end up as one of the Baron's very important prisoners.
Running away? Nobody runs from the Harkonnen!
A deviator shot one of my harvesters. Since the brainwash deviator gas made it Ordos for a moment a carry-all picked it up ands took it to the nearest ordos refinery.
Now that the smuggler scum is dead or imprisoned it is time to focus on the ordos.
A few reasonably priced devastators are ordered at the Starport, the spacejews of CHOAM aren't particularly greedy today.
LEAVE MY FUCKING HARVESTER ALONE YOU ORDOS SODOMITES!
Devastation time!
Time to go on the offensive.
In have no idea how an Advanced Carry-all can lift something as heavy a Devastator but this gives us a chance to use these offensively without waiting a year until they cross the desert while hoping that Sandworms won't mistake them for dinner.
Two of the three devastators sent are destroyed but one comes out of the slaughter extremely battle-hardened and bloodthirsty.
Who is this elite soldier piloting this death-bringing machine?
Damn he's on a rampage! Not slowing down at all! A true Harkonnen Übermensch!
: Mentat! Open a channel to this devastator. I want to talk to him personally!
: As you wish Baron.
: Devastator pilot, this is your Baron speaking! Your service to House Harkonnen has been most commendable, you will be greatly rewarded. But first I need to know you name.
: It is Cleveland Mark Blakemore. It is an honor to receive your praise Baron.
The Ordos ignore the Übermensch causing havoc back in their base and decide to attack. Clearly they are dumbfucks.
Cleve gets some backup.
: NOOOOO! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY ORDOS MANBOONS! ITZ MUST BE DEFEATED!
RIP Cleve
you have served House Harkonnen well.
: Mentat! Bring me the Tleilaxu Master, I have an idea.
: What is it that you want Baron? My work cannot be interrupted by trivial banal shit.
: Silence Tleilaxu! You will address your future Emperor properly or I will have your head on a pike.
: Very well... How may I serve you Baron?
: A certain soldier has proven to be one of the most skilled combatants ever to serve House Harkonnen. Unfortunately he died. You will recover his body and make as many Gholas of him as you can.
: A skilled soldier Baron? I see how this might be useful.
: I want one for every devastator we have. He may be the key to a swift victory so do not fail me Tleilaxu.
: Of course Baron. Our alliance must prevail.
These devastators may not have reached Cleve's level of superhuman combat prowess yet but they still rape the Ordos rather well.
While one has been lost another one has reached Cleve's level of experience. The Ordos will tremble.
Reinforcements are brought in to ensure the victory of House Harkonnen in this battle.
Harkonnen justice at it's finest.

The Atreides once again try to take some land from the Ordos.
Now this is a surprise they actually won!
Look at this, the Ordos are trying to retake the region we just conquered.
WHAT?! The Baron didn't have them all executed? Serious
of the Harkonnen 
Like any form of compensation is worth keeping that scum alive.
When you fight in a region you already fought in before two things change. We already know the layout of the terrain so it's only covered by fog of war so that we can't just rush the Ordos the second the missions starts.
Oh and most of the buildings built last time are still here in the same place we put them. As are craters from all the fighting.
However not all buildings are saved. The starport, second refinery and a few windtraps arer absent. If we had a Palace it also wouldn't be saved. This was obviously implemented not to make "defend the region" missions too easy.
The Ordos haven't built their base in it's previous locations. Harkonnen scouts are sent to search the other locations.
Found them.
Surprisingly crates containing cash or free units do respawn if you took them the last time.
Some of the "liberated" sardaukar kill a few Ordos scouts and troops when suddenly...
.. a harvester appears.
The Palace has been built. Soon we will start violating the great convention in a most tasteless manner
Why is it parked so close to the construction yard instead of mining spice in the field...
Better run!
A loudspeaker can be heard turning on...
FUCKING SMUGGLERS! Not only did that bomb almost destroy the construction yard, it knocked out the power! Now I have to build new wind traps because even though some weren't destroyed by the blast my power dropped to 0.
A few advanced carry-alls are ordered from CHOAM. Guess what we'll use them for?
These Ordos wouldn't get so comfortable if it wasn't for that damn smuggler!
Shooting deviator gas at infantry who is immune to it? Instead of the Devastator right next to it? Deviator? More like Derpiator
I have an idea
Why send troops after Ordos harvesters when you can send the Ordos harvesters to the troops?
I can understand the skull but why a pulsating brain? Seriously Westwood...
RIP Cleve Ghola #0000003
RIP Cleve Ghola #0000002
Since the territory we conquered wasn't bordering any territory we couldn't attack previously the voting options will be the same as last time with two differences.
One is obviously our recent aquisition of Chin Rock. The other is a sand storm in Harg Plateau where ragheads were attacking our Tleilaxu allies. Serious weather pattern
.VOTING TIME
Which region do we conquer now?
1) Rajj Plateu (Ordos) - We had an outpost here but we lost contact and scouts have spotted tleilaxu forces near it. Smells like treachery. (totaly breaks the alliance with bene tleilax)
2) Kindjal Plains (Ordos) - Our agents need some help with intercepting a spy.
3) Wind Pass (Ordos) - The atreides are up to something in Ordos territory. This must be stopped.
4) Gara Kulon (Ordos) - We can claim an abandoned refinery to bolster our mining efforts.
5) Plaster Basin (Atreides) - The Ixians have set loose rogue tleilaxu units. These units will interfere in our conquest of thiso area.
6) Pasty Mesa (Atreides) - The Sardaukar are attacking a Tleilaxu base. They seek help in annihilating the Tleilaxu outpost.
I think I know which one will win now, especially with the raghead smiting mission unnavailable.
Also I am totally switching to imgur from the next update. I was tired of Photobucket fucking up image quality by compressing further jpeg images already compressed and within their shitty size limits.
I seriously think that we should dam in the Atreides they are getting too strong.
Voting 5 - sounds like an interesting mission and I do not have any love left for the Sardaukar.
