Unit and faction question
I'm totally new to the game. I notice most factions have units that serve the same roles (melee infantry, ranged infantry, etc). Are these units identical, or do different factions have stronger troops in certain categories? Like are Sardaukar better than other elite infantry, that sort of thing?

The believe in quality over quantity. And defense. So their units are tough and balanced. And they have many ways of saving units. Vernius believes in machines. So their armies use technology like floating units they don't attract worms. With unique abilities. So yes. Each faction plays very different. And yes. The Fedaykin and the Sardaukar are the best elite units.
