Ecology path
Regarding the ecology path in the game. Is there any video source confirming you can in fact clear the Harkonnen Palace using ecology? I'm not convinced it's really possible, and there are no YouTube videos out there that prove otherwise.

I'm able to clear some of the fortresses using the ecology approach, but haven't been able to clear the Palace itself. I've saved enough spice to last me well over 100 days and endless Emperor demands - and I've left a couple of enemy fortresses untouched. I've even managed to get a couple of Ecology troops all the way to Expert skill (which is way harder and longer than the other jobs). I've put one of them on Arrakeen Timin, just below the palace. The vegetation reached all the way to the palace in a few days, but neither Stilgar nor Thufir Hawat reacted to the trees advancing. And the palace still had 100 occupants, according to the Globe data. Then the sietch's water ran dry.

Incorrect about Harkonnen attacks
This is incorrect: "The Harkonnen will keep attacking your sietches every once in a while until you have successfully conquered at least one fortress (an occupied sietch counts too). After that, they will never counterattack anymore." In my last playthrough the Harkonnens captured the same sietch twice from a surrounded fortress after I conquered a lot of other fortresses. I also never seen them capture a sietch in early game. 80.98.137.76 23:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
