[@ducatiniels]

Played the originals as a teenager. Over and over. The special tanks and rocket artillery where so much fun.

[@grantmccoy6739]

I recently played the Sega Genesis version, and it's actually pretty good. Better graphics and more intuitive controls. I really liked the art style, it's the reason I bought the original dune 2 game. The gameplay was really awkward, but had interesting, ahead of it's time features, like battle music and macro units.

[@Kymlaar]

Love to see the Northgard RTS design continuing to evolve and grow. That game was such a breath of fresh air, and it lends itself well to a fun push and pull style that is much less sweepy than classic RTS' tend to be.

[@intuii]

Northgard itself felt like it got inspiration from the settlers series

[@mokinokaro]

@@intuii felt like a mix of AOE and Settlers to me. This has more 4x in its blood. The closest I can think of is Sins of a Solar Empire.

[@GlobstersMessenger]

My experience is that Northgard is more "sweepy" than many other RTS in multiplayer. There is a steady bulidup over the course of a game until a player commits to forming an army and pushing into enemy territory and that usually results in that player being wiped due to not being prepared, or a stalemate until one side is weak and gets wiped out. Coming back from losses seems to be unlikely even with very good players.

[@M0nTyKe]

tell me you're new to RTS games without telling me you're new to RTS games

[@Kymlaar]

@@GlobstersMessenger classic rts games are super sweepy, with no back and forth at all. Just rushes and then a win. That isn’t really possible in Northgard. Plus there are multiple victory paths, so playing in the classic Northgard way, you can’t just easily pile on bodies or burst through with a rush easily, like you can in more classic Westwood, Blizzard, and Cavedog style games.

[@Icechuck]

"Game is out and you can get it now" Truly a vicious betrayal and deception

[@austinharp7264]

They really should’ve included the “Early Access” part to the beginning of that statement. Personally I bought it and plan on playing it when I get home but for a lot of people thinking this is a final product, yea they should’ve made them aware that it’s still Early Access lol

[@MasterGhostf]

@@austinharp7264 Yea. If its early acces its not "out". Very deceptive.

[@jacksaunders3549]

@@MasterGhostf it is out but its not the final game

[@PHeMoX]

@@jacksaunders3549 Literally no one knows whether it is the 'final' game though, as often early access games barely change over time. Not always, but often getting in early access games too early, will set you up for disappointment.

[@iceraider411]

He literally says "it is out in early access and you can play it now"

[@Savaris96]

It feels like someone looked at the northgard map mechanics and then looked at the Dune boardgame and was like... wait... that could be awesome

[@itspodin]

Seems like they used the exact same artwork in some places as well.

[@strings2864]

well the people who made Northgard made this game so yeah

[@ruud9761]

Yeah I do hope they will go a bit further then both northgard and the dune boardgame. They are both fun but I feel like they are over too quick for my civ/endless/stellaris loving brain. Hopefully it will be a bit more"grand" (or be the first to implement a good marathon game-setting mode) so I can have some hours long sessions instead of winning around the 2-3 hour mark.

[@electricVGC]

excited to see this, art style vaguely reminds me of humankind tbh would love to see you play old world

[@Rizoof1]

Considering both developers of Humankind and Dune are French, and Humankind's being the most successful strategy developers in France makes them an obvious influence.

[@PHeMoX]

@@Rizoof1 Lol, how are they 'the most successful strategy (game) developer' though? I like Endless Legend and it's their best game to date (also according to Steam reviews and sales numbers which are around 1.2 million copies sold), but it's a very flawed game design. And Humankind had an insane drop off of players after it's initial high in august 2021. It did not sell amazing numbers, regardless of the whole 'best selling game of august 2021 claim' you see floating on the internet. (Which was literally just a reference to a single day sales number of copies sold in the US in august 2021 in which it ranked 4th place, which basically means nothing). The game did not sell more than around 300.000-400.000 copies. World-wide. And one can make a very fair argument that the game isn't that great to begin with, whilst also pushing woke nonsense. I don't even like Civilization VI that much, but to put things into perspective that game sold like 7+ million copies. It's also funny how you think nationality makes something an obvious influence. It's very obvious Dune Spice Wars is just a reskinned version of Northgard, the previous game by the developer of Dune Spice Wars. It pretty much plays the same.

[@Rizoof1]

@@PHeMoX It is the most successful strategy developer in France, even after all of that. That's how much France can offer in reality.

@@Rizoof1 France? That must be why it was filled with socialist nonsense. Humankind, gtfo.

Re-read the first one last year. This looks like they've really drawn from the rich world of Dune and not just taken a glossy account from the movies. Very exciting.

[@nsuinteger-au]

I don't quite sit through a 50+ minute of youtube video for a game play video, but this has been well worth it. As the gameplay mechanics is quite complicated and so many different avenues to take, I did learn a fair bit of new things and often overlooked information on those dialogue boxes. Cheers!

[@livelaurent]

Man I'm so happy you are on Dune. I loved your Civ6 videos and was hoping for you to jump in. You are the best tutorial this game can get :)

[@carnaciocarmante6068]

I could watch you play literally for hours. As a fan of Dune, it looks like a really fun game :D

[@boomknight1015]

What I like about this game is you some times would want to mess with a stronger player trying to take out a weaker player using the different ops. It's not that safe to take out players so keeping a weaker one alive feels vary riskish. Where you both are not teamed but will help each other because losing a player out right could send the balance to a steam roll.

[@Streetlocksmith]

I agree with this with nearly every strategy game. Balance of power, prevents others from becoming too strong.

[@davemeech]

This feels like a game I'd watch potato play with the same consistency and interest that I watch civ 6. I'm so fucking glad this game is getting the positive impressions that it's getting. This video definitely sold the game for me.

Command & Conqueror or something like this... , i look straight to him and say "so what?" a he say "its like a clone of DUNE 2! i only remember to scream at him saying "why the hell you lost all that time with bullshit talking, PLEASE INSTALL THAT SH** FAST" the new kids can't imagine the impact of the first Dune games... they created a new genre of games!

[@feeblemind]

Also for future refernce with spice silos. you don't need to build 1 in every spice field. They are an AOE building so you can save upkeep and slots in your important spice regions by placing them more strategically to affect multiple zones.

[@TechnoHouseHD]

This is the first RTS style game I have ever played. Played for a few hours and I’m not any good at it but I’m going to give it another go. Thank you for the informative video. You make it seem easy.

[@TechnoHouseHD]

@Tim thank you Tim. I took like half an hour just reading everything and trying to understand some of the mechanics. I appreciate the tips.

[@MikeGolfLima]

Just pause the game to think strategy until you get good at strategy on the fly. I've never played this one, not sure if the game limits the camera pans when you pause. Remember that the AI doesn't have to think, it's doing many things at once.

How? This game has nothing to do with good old Dune games. This is resident sleeper game that just wants to milk off Dune movie's success. There's no Ordos, no campaign with cutscenes, no story, no quads, trikes,combat tanks,siege tanks, devastators, deviators, sonic tanks... I don't see a thing that would make me nostalgic for the old titles it's entirely different generic hotchpotch.

Re:playing defensively and carefully with Atreides - I find that influence production is much slower than authority, so I'm always raiding villages and occasionally annex one when I have enough influence to do so. So I've been playing a very aggressive Atreides and it's going pretty well, I own about 1/2 of the map and I'm engaging the Smugglers on one flank. So, aggressive works pretty well too.
