Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty Hints

Ornithopter

  • Mistakenly spelled "Ornithipter" in the game, Ornithopters, are air-based units that you don't control.  They just fly around and maybe cause a little damage if you're lucky. Usually, they just get shot down.  Truthfully, the only time I ever found these useful is to locate enemy turrets (when an Ornithopter flies over a turret, it fires, and it reveals the turret on the map), and to destroy the remains of enemy bases once all turrets were cleared out.  Harkonnens cannot make them.

    Built with High-Tech Factory.  Cost: 600.
