GAME GUIDE

House Atreides in Dune Style

House Atreides fights with honour, Grenadiers and sound. Build only on rock. Lay concrete or new buildings start at half health. Spice blooms and sandworms make every harvest a risk. The Palace calls a Fremen war party with worm riders. After the Palace upgrade, the Sonic Array walks a barrage across the target.

The Construction Yard upgrades three times. That ladder opens advanced windtraps, the Starport, IX and the Palace. Upgrade the Heavy Factory twice for siege tanks and the Heavy Harvester. The Sonic Tank is yours alone.

Independent replication of Dune 2000 gameplay. Values approximate the classic and are tuned over time.
