Base Building...

[Suchy]

So other than missle turrets, what is the point of placement for buildings....seems kinda pointless...?

[Sayumé]

Just for fun i think? i like to place each ressource buildings near their ressources if i can for exemple, the others near the village to increase its size in appearence

Resources.

[Spazaholic]

can also wall via star craft brood war style, prolly not effective the opions there
might et another missle salvo off.

Refinery as near to Spice field as possible. It is a super minor thing - the harvester has less distance to go when recalling so your spice flow comes back online slightly quicker - but still... why not do it right?

Nothing else matters except Missiles as you said.

Airfields can also matter, and having stuff you don't want blown up on the other side of any possible raids can help with avoiding AoE damage...

and that's it really. At least so far.

Airfields for sure.. you can get creative with the drop area edges to put troops in places that would take longer to get to. For example beyond a cliff wall that you would otherwise need to walk around.

To trick you into thinking that this game is really and RTS/4x hybrid.
