I think that the beauty of this game is that there are so many things you CAN'T do. For example selecting multiple units. It is annoying in the beginning, but once you start selecting units manually it comes naturally. Things that come easy are nice in the beginning but then you get bored fast. Dune 2 is a very very good game.

Yeah, you're right, though it depends on the player. If he wants MASS ACTION strategy games, then this one is useless and practically stupid ( :angry: stupid people). However, if you like a game where you control EVERY SINGLE UNIT specifically (place them where you want, shoot with them what you want...) , i'll agree with you (man, those people who think otherwise sux <_< ).

This game seems almost exactly like C&C. I don't know who riped off who though but in either case the things that you rarely see in Dune 2 are in C&C red alert.

1. There is a monster (red alert has tornado) that can INSTANLY KILL YOUR MEN!
2. There is a ballistic missle that can inflict heavy damage (all sides have it. But in C&C regular NOD is the only one to have that. Ion cannon doesn't count)
3. Annoting infantry can be ran over (Via tank crushes some guy)
4. Your units automatically attack when a hoostile target enters attack range (unpatched) and just sit there. Regardless if they are being shot.
5. Infantry can't hit an air target even though they have rifles that could posibly be shot in the air
6. terrain has no value in both games. high or low.
7. both require harvesting of some sort of material
8. And no this is not a rip off of another game because THEY ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY!

And funny story about dos box. All the games run fine. It's just dos box that doesn't work.

well, i have c&c red alert 2, and i must say, it's different than dune 2. maybe red alert 1 or original c&c are copies of dune 2, but red alert 2 is different. also, i advise you to read c&c manual, one of the questions will be:
Q: Is this dune 3?
A: no, althrough it's his precedesor, bla bla bla...
read the manual!

You can banish worms by killing them. You don't actually kill a worm, it only goes away reappearing after some time. When it comes back, it will be faster and meaner. If you do that so many times, the worm becomes extra fast. On the other hand, you can feed the worm cheap units. After a worm consumes a couple of units it will create a bump of spice. Shoot that and you have more spice. It's called spice boom (the announcer says "spice boom located").

yeah, one time, in that mission where you get siege tanks, i was playing with harkonnen and, guess what, then i was in the end of the mission, i noticed-NO WORMS. as someone posted, harkonnens and ordoses kill worms then they see them. and little after little, BOTH worms were gone

I think the game can be modded - somehow - because there was a modded version released called "super dune II"
[/b]

yeah, i tried downloading it, buggy (at least mentat screen).

The patches on abandonia removes the bugs and freezes. Most importantly it removes the radar and the starport freezes k:

I use starport for purchasing powerful units in emergencies, or i just use it to get over max. unit limit. In emergencies the prices are affordable because I buy just as much as enough. On the other hand, reaching max. unit limit means that you already have enough units for defense so you can always wait for prices to fall.
[/b]

one time, i tried building over limit with starport, but it's useless for harkonnen. i should've used only siege and rocket tanks, not some quads or trikes (i'm (sort of) an idiot :w00t: ) or combat tanks (phew, no troopers). so, for every fanatic who has a harko mania, DON'T use starport.

Don't know if any of you have these problems but after first level I get the "information is lagging, you have to type what these three buildings/machines are to prove your innocent"

Although I type in the correct names I always get kicked off after the third one.... any ideas ?
[/b]

no no, not bulding or machine name, but questions mentat gives you (whats vehicles speed, buildings armament...). hope it helps
