A4, the future Emperor should have some Sentinels and Dreadnoughts.

Ah yes, General Castor, a man so manly that he hunts Tyranids with his bare hands. Too bad Shepard had to die... But we can rebuild him, we have the technology...

I just finished this game (also Harkonnen compaign) and holy shit is the ending retarded. Makes Herbert's son books seem like respectful and high-brow literature.
Anyways, voting A6.

Update 8: The non-canon cannon

Don't think I'm abandoning this shit just because I'm swamped with work and my desktop was inoperable bros!

Supririsingly good desert themed music from an unsurprisingly shitty licensed science fiction RTS published by interplay

Emperor9-0001.jpg


Emperor9-0002.jpg


The wisdom of the hivemind has decided that we advance further into Ordos territory. Also we'll ally with the Ixians if we get the chance.

Emperor9-0003.jpg


It's a good strategy to leave us in the dark until the very last moment mentat. Is this guy even a real mentat?

Emperor9-0004.jpg


harkonnenmentat.jpg
: Capture the Ordos spy Commander, I believe he will disclose information that will be quite useful to us once he is "persuaded" sufficiently.

I doubt he'll just walk into our base, we better send an agent of our own to capture him.

Emperor9-0005.jpg


Time to scout this rather frigid part of Dune and find us some Ordos to kill.

Emperor9-0007.jpg


Emperor9-0008.jpg


Guild Mega Cannon? The fuck?

harkonnenmentat.jpg
: Ah it seems the guild has a small outpost in this region. You should borrow this Mega Cannon from them. I doubt the Guild has much use for artillery.

Emperor9-0009.jpg


The Ordos stronghold has been located.

Emperor9-0011.jpg


Emperor9-0012.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Suffer not the Manboon to live!

Emperor9-0013.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Cleve Ghola Scout #71 Reporting in Commander! The Manboon spy has been located!

gunsengharkonnen.jpg
: Capture him alive, I want to torture him personally,

Emperor9-0014.jpg


It is time to remove a cannon from the Guild's inventory.

Emperor9-0015.jpg


While it's canonicity is questionable at least it will help us kill those Ordos sodomites.

thorton.jpg
: So far so good, no Harkonnen in sight...

CLEVEghola.jpg
: You will come with me Ordos dog!

thorton.jpg
: Now wait a min...

CLEVEghola.jpg
: I DO NOT WAIT!

Cleve Ghola Scout #71 subdues the annoying spy and drags him into a safe area.

Emperor9-0016.jpg


Emperor9-0017.jpg


harkonnenmentat.jpg
: It seems the Ordos are already missing their dear spy. Hide him before they silence him.

Emperor9-0019.jpg


Cleve Ghola's superhuman infiltration skills allow him to fool the manboons.

Emperor9-0020.jpg


Bad idea bro :smug:

Emperor9-0021.jpg


Emperor9-0022.jpg


Emperor9-0023.jpg


The "borrowed" outpost is being reinforced in case the untermensch decide to attack it.

Emperor9-0026.jpg


gunsengharkonnen.jpg
: Fire the cannon!

Emperor9-0027.jpg


gunsengharkonnen.jpg
: That's it? I was expecting a glorious explosion! The Guild's weapon-making skills are sub-par to say the least. :rpgcodex:

Emperor9-0031.jpg


gunsengharkonnen.jpg
: Pathetic, truly pathetic. These Ordos fail to realize how close they are to becoming a mere footnote in the history books!

Emperor9-0033.jpg


Emperor9-0034.jpg


Emperor9-0035.jpg


Emperor9-0036.jpg


These Ordos are getting more retarded with every passing minute.

Emperor9-0037.jpg


Another attack surely they are joking?

Emperor9-0038.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Uh I feel sick.... FOR THE EXECUTRIX!

generalcastor.jpg
: Men! Attack that devastator, it has been contaminated with deviator gas and must be purged!

:rage: Fucking deviators! :x

Emperor9-0039.jpg


generalcastor.jpg
: All of you performed admirably, keep it up and I will not have to execute any of you for cowardice at the end of the day.

harkonnenmentat.jpg
: Commander! The Ordos have erected a palace, they might use it to deploy some sort of secret weapon.

Well you know what they say...

icbm.jpg


Emperor9-0043.jpg


Emperor9-0044.jpg


...fight fire with fire :smug:

Emperor9-0046.jpg


:x Get away from my harvesters you assholes!

Emperor9-0047.jpg


Emperor9-0048.jpg


Emperor9-0049.jpg


Time to send in the Cleve Gholas and secure a vital piece of rock.

Emperor9-0050.jpg


Emperor9-0051.jpg


Emperor9-0054.jpg


Emperor9-0055.jpg


:rage: Sneaky ordos scum! They attack from the rear.

Emperor9-0060.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: DIE! DIE! DIE!

Emperor9-0062.jpg


Emperor9-0064.jpg


Problem? :troll:

Emperor9-0067.jpg


gunsengharkonnen.jpg
: You will suffer for this insolence!

icbm.jpg


Emperor9-0070.jpg


Emperor9-0071.jpg


Emperor9-0072.jpg


At least the harvesters got blown up by the radiation (how the hell does that work anyway?).

Emperor9-0074.jpg


:rage:

Emperor9-0076.jpg


:retarded: Wait they're just standing there?

Emperor9-0081.jpg


While the Ordos squad is derping around and not killing the spy capture by Cleve some of our other glorious harkonnen ubermensch exterminate more Ordos.

Emperor9-0083.jpg


[Perception] I believe they're trying to run us over.

[Intelligence] We should try to get out of the way.

Emperor9-0088.jpg


Emperor9-0089.jpg


While our prisoner is more or less secured the Cleve Squad holding useless rock patch #32 suffers some loses :salute:

Emperor9-0094.jpg


Emperor9-0096.jpg


:x FUCKING USELESS MENTAT! THIS SHIT IS ALMOST READY TO FIRE AND HE DIDN'T WARN ME!

icbm.jpg


Emperor9-0097.jpg


Emperor9-0098.jpg


Good thing that there was a death hand missile on standby.

Emperor9-0100.jpg


It also blew up that harvester :incline:

Building up a decently sized Cleve Ghola assault force is taking too fucking long...

Emperor9-0109.jpg


Emperor9-0110.jpg


Emperor9-0113.jpg


One death hand launch later the assault force is assembled.

Emperor9-0117.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Kneel before the might of House Harkonnen manboons!

Emperor9-0124.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Resistance is futile!

Emperor9-0126.jpg


Emperor9-0128.jpg


generalcastor.jpg
: Kill these savages!

Emperor9-0129.jpg


Emperor9-0141.jpg


Emperor9-0142.jpg


Well that was moderately challenging. Also how can we not approve of persuading that damn spy :smug:

Continued in next post...

Music - Dune 2000: Rise of Harkonnen

Emperor9-0143.jpg


Emperor9-0144.jpg


The Atreides think they can win? The Duke is such a clown too bad the fools that follow him don't get the joke.

Emperor9-0145.jpg


harkonnenmentat.jpg
: The Baron has personally persuaded the spy to reveal vital information about Ordos saboteurs operating behind our lines. Crush them.

Emperor9-0146.jpg


I think we're all familiar with this piece of sand and rock.

Emperor9-0149.jpg


Some lost sardaukar join the cause of House Harkonnen.

Emperor9-0152.jpg


The Atreides are located, hopefully they'll die slowly and in agony.

Emperor9-0153.jpg


harkonnenmentat.jpg
: An Ordos assault squad has been spotted!

:rage:

Fortunately a flamethrower turret has been erected just in case they decided to be sneaky.

Emperor9-0156.jpg


generalcastor.jpg
: Leave none alive men!

Emperor9-0157.jpg


Emperor9-0159.jpg


Emperor9-0160.jpg


Smells like victory.

Emperor9-0161.jpg


MCV_Big.jpg


Since our current piece of rock is too small to place new structures I build and send an MCV south to establish a secondary outpost.

Emperor9-0161.jpg


Sonic tanks, better keep our sardaukar away from them...

Emperor9-0164.jpg


Oh look more Ordos, what a lovely three-way we're having here.

Emperor9-0165.jpg


Emperor9-0166.jpg


They burn rather nicely.

Emperor9-0168.jpg


Surprisingly the Atreides took advantage of the fact that we had to move some of our forces to defend against the Ordos raiders.

Emperor9-0170.jpg


generalcastor.jpg
: Avoid the sonic tank! Kill everything else!

Emperor9-0171.jpg


Superior Sardaukar training minimized our casualties.

Emperor9-0172.jpg


The Duke jests some more by sending snipers to assault the southern outpost.

Emperor9-0172.jpg


We all had a good laugh.

Emperor9-0175.jpg


:rage: Minotaurs incoming.

Emperor9-0176.jpg


Emperor9-0177.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Death to all who oppose the Baron!

Emperor9-0178.jpg


Emperor9-0180.jpg


I think the Ordos evolved from lemmings or something...

Emperor9-0181.jpg


Emperor9-0182.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: Your attacks are futile yet amusing Ordos dogs.

Emperor9-0183.jpg


Emperor9-0187.jpg


:rage: Fucking bullshit weather patterns!

Emperor9-0188.jpg


Emperor9-0191.jpg


Emperor9-0194.jpg


CLEVEghola.jpg
: House Harkonnen is victorious once again!

Emperor9-0196.jpg


I hate these damn things.

Emperor9-0197.jpg


Emperor9-0198.jpg


But I love kidnapping them with carry-alls.

Emperor9-0202.jpg


Sandworms?

amraam-rocket-missile.jpg


Emperor9-0203.jpg


Emperor9-0204.jpg


Horrible creatures, I avoid them whenever I can.

Emperor9-0207.jpg


Emperor9-0209.jpg


Well the Atreides air force shouldn't pose a threat now. Not that it would anyway.

Emperor9-0211.jpg


Stop dying like flies :rpgcodex:

Emperor9-0213.jpg


Emperor9-0214.jpg


Emperor9-0218.jpg


The Duke needs to change his routine, this one has become rather stale and unfunny.

icbm.jpg


Emperor9-0221.jpg


Emperor9-0222.jpg


Emperor9-0224.jpg


:salute: RIP Cleve Ghola #264

Emperor9-0225.jpg

: All will fall in the name of the Baron!

Emperor9-0261.jpg

:salute: They have been true champions of House Harkonnen. They will not be forgotten.

Just FYI after I reloaded the damn thing changed the sandstorm patterns and the secondary objectives, including the help the sardaukar by smiting the ragheads one :decline:.
Which is why the choices below are slightly different. Fucking bullshit changes.

VOTING TIME

The path to the Ordos Arrakean capital is clear, shall we strike at their heart now?

A) DEATH TO THE ORDOS! They have lived far too long.
B) We have unfinished business, it is better to prolong the inevitable death of the Executrix for now.

If House Harkonnen decides to strike at the capital later where should we deploy our forces now?

1) Hajra Plains - Smugglers used to have a base here.
2) Hagga Basin - Raghead scouting parties are roaming the area.
3) Hole-in-the-Rock - Standard base - banal, shit, boring.
4) Wind Pass - The Atreides are present here doing something, the Baron does not like this.
5) Gara Kulon - The Ixians are doing someting here, perhaps we can help the and secure an alliance.


You won't have to wait for the next update as long as for this one bros.

Ah, nice to see you advancing this LP! I'm quite interested in seeing what happens next.

A - let's crush those maggots.

/e: In case the Ordos spies convince the Baron to let them live a little while longer, I shall vote 4 4.

^Indeed, but giving them an illusion of hope, then ruthlessly crush them is even better. I say B5, let the Ordos live their last moments in peace... Before they're all taken to the Torture Chambers.

If you count Malakal's vote as B5 it's a tie between A and B with 5 taking the lead. If not then A wins by one vote.

So either Malakal clarifies what he wants to vote for (A or B) or we get one vote for A or 2 for B and the situation will be clear.

When was the last time you saw Harkonnen letting someone live a little longer when they could have crushed them?
