About the run:
My splitting thingy screwed itself up for some reason at first 2 missions like it didnt register me clicking "SPLIT" button(shown in mission 4 being just 8 seconds) but i still managed to pull off decent strategies and have a good run. All according to the rules,which i double checked during the run.
Explaination on what i did during the run:
Mission 1 + 3 i sell construction yard just to be faster by 600 gold,mission 4 i rush harkonnen cause apparently its viable and winable strategy,mission 5 i use army distraction for engineers to barely complete the objective,mission 6 i eliminate smugglers first so enemy will attack more rarely,mission 7 i destroy research centre early just to be a little bit faster and focus on harder harkonnen first,mission 8 i capture devastator factory and spam these for the win,mission 9 i go to left side harkonnen first just so my bottom left base is safer and i save more resources for main harkonnen base on the right,i then rush troopers to destroy initial rocket turrets so i lose less main tank army and then proceed to invade harkonnen,rebuild army and invade emperor for the win.
Issues when trying to record it:
I had a crapton of issues trying to run the game on windows 10,solution was to update the dune2k's community silent patch(cnc-ddraw) that makes the game work aswell as update everything else. Cost of updating it: is that i would either play on 5 fps by setting the compatibility mode to windows 98 or lose the alt+tab glitch,however i had everything routed so the time i managed to pull off is still decent,despite losing the alt+tab build anywhere glitch. I presume i could try doing virtual machine shenanigans to make it all work however it would be MEGA complicated to pull off and i was crunching for time a little bit.
