LOL, I remember that bug

Did you know that according to the manual, the Spice Bloom acted like the crates in the C&C games, and you could get units and money out of them?

It sure didn't work that way in the GAME... any unit that walked on a spice bloom got sucked under a couple hundred tons of sand :P

The BeST GaMe eVeR :w00t:

I have another version of this game. it's called:
dune 2 battle for arrakis
and you have:
dune 2 building of a dinasty
hope mine better :wallbash: :w00t:

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (also known as Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and in the Mega Drive/Genesis port)

In other words, they're both identical.

hey all, im writing currently a blog about duneII for www.teg.ro (check it out) and released 1 of 3 parts. i would be very happy if someone could send me a screenshot of a deathhand striking a base, or after it striked a base.

Sorry, but you cannot post e-mail adresses in open here. Rules are rules.

I don't think that Ordos are fast and weak.The strong and weak point are other.

ATREIDES STRONG POINT:
-Sonic Tank is very useful because you can attack and retreat other units,you can destroy turret...is a better version of rocket launcher.
-Fremen are good in a bugged version:they attack only the units and not the base,but they aren't attacked from enemy units except the defending one.In the normal game are average.

ATREIDES WEAK POINT:
-They haven't troopers.
-They are friendly with sandworms.

HARKONNEN STRONG POINT:
-Death Hand can be the better palace's weapon.
-Harkonnen's Quad is the strongest jeep of Dune.
-They have trooper from the beginning.

HARKONNEN WEAK POINT:
-Death Hand is useful only if you save and load before every launch....that means nearly cheating!And it takes very long to recharge.
-They haven't soldiers.
-They haven't trike:is very difficult to explore with Harkonnen.However they can take trike by starport.
-They haven't air units.
-The Devastator is useless.Dangerous on defense and too slow for attack.Use Siege Tank instead.
-Harkonnen Combat Tank is the weakest tank of the game.So Harkonnen Mission 4 is the most difficult mission.

ORDOS STRONG POINT:
-The Raider is better than Trike.Faster and stronger.
-Ordos Combat Tank is the strongest among the combat tanks.
-Deviator is very useful,even difficult to use.
-Saboteur is fast to recharge and can be useful.
-They have both soldiers and troopers.

ORDOS WEAK POINT:
-Saboteur is useful only if you lose time to drive it wisely.
-They haven't missile launcher!They can build it only in mission 6.So mission 5 is very difficult.
-Maybe Ordos's Quad is slighty weaker than Atreides's Quad.

Could someone confirm this, please?
Cause I doubt that the first realtime-strategy-game that there was, already told strenghts from basic units from different clans apart! :blink:
Aren't the basic units all the same?
