MORE WORMS! MORE SPICE MISSIONS! MORE DESERT!

[Ieyasusghost]

I have played since Beta and love to hate on the game, But enough is enough! I can stay quiet no longer!

THE GAME HAS GOTTEN MEASURABLY (QUANTITATIVELY) PROGRESSIVELY WORSE BECAUSE THE WHINERS HAVE LOBBIED TO REMOVE WORMS, DESERT AND EVEN SPICE FROM THE MAPS IN CONQUEST MISSIONS! WTF???

No really, there were some epic maps even last year with tons of worms and sandstorms and desert and were exceedingly difficult -especially when you had to save the fremen sietch and extra especially on insanity mode. How hard would it be to make all Conquests have a high or super high worm activity + sandstorms toggle for the entire campaign, as well as turn on or off the "feature lots of open desert" maps??? And how about "no non-spice maps"? Not very difficult methinks...

The option to increase the activities of worms and sandstorms already exists when making a custom skirmish map, so it has to be fairly easy to port it into the campaign. along with a "all-spice" requirement for each individual mission map. Over the many months this game has been around the desert and worms and spice are disappearing, bit by bit. This is very sad. The conquests you have now half your missions have no worms and/or no spice!!! Huh?
This is dune! If you don't want your army getting eaten because you had to stuff another doritos chip in your gaping maw? Then go play animal farm you filthy casual.

I would agree except for one thing. The only faction ever attacked by the Worms is yours. No one else ever gets hit, even standing on top of them. The worm will move and go after your guys instead. Thumper missions don't work either, except to lure worms away from yourself. If I saw other factions getting eaten by the worms, I would say "Yeah! Bring on more Worms." It just isn't happening.

I would like to disagree on the thumper not working, just yesterday half the emperor's army got eaten by a juicy worm attracted by my thumper.

see the red icons, 3 desert regions almost surrounding me from the start of a game, i could be wrong but isnt this also a new map/mission, a variation of the "protect the sietch" you mention?

also im literally just spamming the worms to get around here, in this mission, with a new FREE faction. the top tier ship can even get bonuses in a storm.

im not sure how its really gotten worse, but an extra difficulty setting, like "chaos" with loads more worms, raiders, a difficult economy, insane is really easy mode for me.

seems like it was a new mission, because the objectives included something only fremen could do, the map was about 75% deep desert regions fyi.

I must have been bugged then. Or maybe because it was already too easy on easy mode to attack the enemy with worms.

Have to agree with the overall point, gamers today want it easy compared to the days of Dark Age of Camelot when we didn't even have a map, we had to use landmarks to find dungeons and stuff.

But the whiners won, it was too hard for them and the game got easier and easier as the years went by until it just wasn't fun anymore.

When will studios learn?!

Read my post again, I said "overall point".

So I was speaking in general how games are these days. Anyway yeah I've been waiting for this patch, but haven't really had the time to dig into it yet.
