Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.Īfter a mission is completed, the player can select the next mission on a map of Dune. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. The planet itself is also hostile, with dangerous sandworms inhabiting the spice fields.ĭune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Competition among these houses begins peacefully but soon turns ugly as they battle each other with armed troops, advanced weaponry, and spies. To increase productivity, The Padishah Emperor has invited three powerful Houses (Harkonnen, Atreides and Ordos) to compete against one another economically and bring up spice production. The Spice is the basis of interstellar travel and thus the standard of the Imperial economy. I have no interest in later game Dune 2000 which I think is pure strategy type, but oeople liked it.The planet Arrakis (also known as Dune for its sandy landscape) is the only place in the known universe where Melange (more commonly known as the Spice) can be found. Another company brought out a Dune game as same time as Cryo did but Cryo's was the first Dune game developed. Wonder if it would sell enough to make it worthwhile. beleive I wrote it up on a GOG forum page too, which would make GOG''s porting work a bit quicker if they decide to retail it. I spent hours tweaking my dosbox config a few years ago. YES first Dune game by Cryo, a beautiful old game and with a stellar electronic soundtrack by Stephane Picq, quite ahead of its time.
