20:21 Tips - Faction Bonus - Food for Thought
Thoughts on some points I forgot to mention.
- Each faction has a development to increase the agents on counterintel to 3, very important to protect yourself
- Corrino gets a deveopment for 3 free counterintelligence agents, making them very difficult to assassinate
- New blue statecraft building to provide a large range of stealth detection, these are critical in detecting incoming Assassins so you have a chance to kill them before they re-up the progression
-Ecaz have an armory upgrade for Musketeers allowing long range stealth detection, making them the premier anti-assassin units in the game. Station them around your vulnerable villages in peacetime to keep watch for incoming sassins
- Assassins need supply, making long range assassins difficult, you can pull of some long range shenanigans by combining long walks (or sneaky deep desert walks) with supply drop operations. Beware seemingly nonsensical supply drops! They might be providing for sneaky sassins!
- Fremen can rally assassins to sietches in the back lines!
does killing an assassin betray a truce, and do main bases/missile turrets target assassins from a faction in truce?
@@choochoochic If you are truced then bases/missiles do NOT target assassins and if you try to attack with military you WILL betray the truce. Best practice is to go into diplomacy and spend influence to cancel the truce there as soon as you detect the attempt.
The Ecaz one is a good shout, with the 100% damage on first shot and the detection I think they can snipe the assassin down before they get in? It does kinda split the army, but they're only 3 cp
Atreides also gets a tech to receive resources from counterintel (influence/intel production), at the cost of not increasing the max amount enemy infiltration cells/reducing assassin intel cost. It also makes Atreides kindof the worst faction to eliminate others because they are bad at assassination and also don't get the bonus dmg to base tech either.
Hey, when you click on a village, it shows solari and water, what does it mean when they are red/ grey/ green
Turin had a crazy game the other day where his assassination attempt was stopped at 99. Unbelievable
Do you have the link to the game ? I watch a ton of is videos but I maybe missed this one.
It was a butt clencher for sure.
Damn, I love this guide, I haven't seen a single guide explain any topic as clear as you just did. Thanks! Btw I love seeing your games with Turin
This was fantastic, thank you.
Assassination was the one part of the game I was finding a little opaque, this was really helpful.
What a useful and to the point video. Thanks!
Loving all those dune guides. Thanks!
Bless the maker for Daevohk's excellent beginner guides 🙌
Excellent informative video! I'm looking forward to viewing your other videos to learn more about this fun game.
Thanks so much for this. Yours is the best information I have found on what all the screen info means and the method to initiate and prevent. I loaded up the last game which I was assassinated and was able to prevent it this time.
Awsome video, thank you. Really helped me understand a lot!
Thank you, your video is very insightful. I finally understand how assassination works in Dune Spice Wars.
Brilliant explanation, thank for bringing to light what ended my first game abruptly.
Thanks, that was very useful!
Great guide! Thank you!❤
Thank u so much man, a really great and informative video! Hope u come with more of these infomational dune videos bc the game is preety hard but its also a beautiful rts/4x one!
Thank you! I'm scheming more learning content. There is so much that is interconnected, it is challenging to cut into smaller pieces.
Appreciate the guides hoping for more game commentary soon
thanks finally i understood how to do it
great video expplained very well jsut the video i was looking for assasinations is kinda confusing at first
Hello! I'd like to add some information regarding assassination detection. When you initiate an assassination, you choose a territory where the operation will take place. If there is a blue building (monitoring station) with the buff "+20% spying operation detection" in that territory, your assassination attempt is more likely to be quickly detected by your enemy. This buff can be spotted in the territory's buff bar.
Thank you for the video!
i had no idea that the assassin unit was so pivotal, the tooltip for it doesn't mention it at all!
big help thx
Thank you very much! There i was, searching cells with "probe setup"...
Intuitive, it is not
I was doing this also 😂
I wish I had this game tbh, it looks so funny and cool
Thanks. Figuring all of this out myself would’ve taken me many games ans even more hours and frustrations. The basic tutorials in the game are great, but anything more advanced and especially win conditions aren’t explained at all.
Many thanks for thus, I keep dying by these assassins 😅
Great video, thanks! Can you please do one on how to get the Kraken in conquest mode? This is really confusing for a lot of people and we don't know how to get it.
Good question, I don't know either! I have only gone through conquest with Ecaz. These days i spent 100% of my time in multiplayer game.
this game is fucking amazing, thank you so much for the guide!
There must be more to it: AI cancels the assassination attempt when you found the cells, but real life players dont. Even if you found all cells, the bar will keep running. There will always be 1 agent to finish the job. Even abandon all villages will keep te bar running. A well planned attack by Vernius or Freman with lots of cells is hopeless to defend. Not even spoken about the time: within the 16days you can only do 2 cell search operation+send military to search. Its impossible to find all cells. Counteragents will not slow down anything. Any thoughts on this?
Gosh thanks so much for this guide, I knew nothing at all about those spy mechanics. Is that explained anywhere in the game?
I think you only get there by following a tangled web of tooltips, hence the video! Its extremely common that no one has any idea what is going on with an assassination when they start playing.
No!
:D
i was wondering how you make the descision on which victory condition to go for. And how do you stop people from winning from hedge.
Different factions will learn more towards certain win cons than others. Stopping hege is "simple" you need to annex or liberate the Heger's territory--especially any special regions.
Corrino - Hegemony, Choam, Governor, Domination
Ecaz - Hegemony, Governor
Atreides - Hegemony, Governor
Harkonens - Choam, Assassinations, Domination
Smugglers - a little bit of everything
Fremen - Hegemony
Vernius - Hegemony, assassinations
Yippeee!
👍
I need to make sure my friends don't see this... Currently I'm the only one that truly understands the mechanics of it lol.
It is the hidden knowledge!

The learning curve for this game sucks ass.
can you do a vernius guide on how to maximize the assassination portential?
Vernius is far from my specialty, but the principle for them is to expand their node network along the border with someone else allowing them to have free infiltration cells and then picking a good timing to launch the assassination attempt when the target is busy. Bonus points for obfuscating the tech for additional agents on counter-intel keeping the target more vulnerable. The councilor for reduced information levels and knowledge to Intel conversion is critical for this.
