Superweapons - Emperor: Battle for Dune

[@BlueDigiHeart]

People talk about the music for Command and Conquer and Red Alert a lot and though the soundtracks for those games were great can we just take a moment to appreciate the music and sound FX for this game? So great.

[@sierre00]

This game is amazing, it is a crime to not to give it a remake!

[@Banzay27]

I like how the Sardaukar fires away as he rides Dune's carousel, heheh. Fucking baller are the Sardaukar in this game, especially the minigunners. By far, the best infantry to mass, both for destructive efficiency as well as for viewing satisfaction. Love how they fire up at the sky when you win a map, they don't just raise their weapons like the other infantry units. Makes for a rewarding show at the end of the battle when you got a horde of them onscreen!

[@megac4]

Harkonnen infantry also fire their guns.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

[@Clarensee]

Is this a random event? It's amazing for a 2001 game.

[@TheKnightOfSmite]

@@Clarensee Random environment effects, can be turned off in multiplayer I think. But in the main campaign they sort of just plow through your bases from time to time.

[@combinecommando001]

it's a shame that House Ordos wasn't in the books but only in the games, they're a really interesting House.

[@CnCDune]

They're more interesting in D2k where their mentat is a forbidden Ixian technology - most likely one of them banned thinking machines, or a cyborg.

[@Mazryonh]

The hawk strike has got to be one of the most effective non-lethal weapons in RTS history ever!

[@dr-maybe]

This game was great, I love Westwood. The voices of the units were incredibly cool, as was the gameplay.

[@breadonitsown8950]

I always preferred to use Hawk Strike when under attack - it would buy useful time to reestablish defence and get the enemy away from my base at least temporarily

[@TheSpacey52]

Good thing they improved the Dune 2000's near useless Death Hand Missile in this game

[@RolandTemplar]

Yep

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

now if only the source code for this...and supcom 1 could become shareware......I pay dearly for a dune rts i the deliciously themed , tuned enviroment of Emperor battle for dune style...with the scale scope and ruthless 'evrything is a ingame entity' mechanics..that..be one fuck of a RTS.

[@megac4]

@@Amoth_oth_ras_shash , This game is quite moddable, if you know how to do it. I made a balance mod years ago, changing building times, some armor types, damages, experience rates, ranges, etc. Create a folder MODEL inside folder DATA. There you'll put your edited "rules.txt". You probably will need an original one to edit. Take it from here. dune2k.com/Duniverse/Games/Emperor/Downloads/Modifications

@@megac4 sounds rather interesting ,know any place to get a 'fix' file for making a install of original discs boot up properly ? that been my major problem since last i played it ,got a honest bought when it was new copy but....sighs...either the install exe dont work or if geeting it installed on win7 it wont boot properly just...tell it to boot ,it tryess and then just stops I know its a shared problem for cearten games something about windows but its just a pinch outside my area of experience to work around.

[@megac4]

@@Amoth_oth_ras_shash It should work fine with win7. I do have win7 and mine runs perfectly. And you probably won't have an hard time finding one "around". ;)

[@silaku]

I love this game. My fave House is the Ordos, with their super quick tanks that can outmaneuver Minotauri and the Kobra with its long-ranged howitzer.

[@ajwatcher]

I don't know if it's a bug or something, but whenever i used hawkstrike, instead of sending them running off map, it sent all the enemies affected straight at my base!

[@nathankuszewski4579]

[@simonhuuskristensen4736]

Ohhh the feels, this game is sooo good!

[@Nightshift10000]

Man the music for House Harkonnon kicks some real ass!

[@andro_king]

So many great memories. Nostalgia 100

[@rocksparadox]

Oh man, that would be a great idea, to have a Sardaukar bonus race! Expensive infantry with more hitpoints than average and some fast tanks and heavy artillery? But it would be best of all if they just make a new game with a completely adapted engine.

[@Lrripper]

They are already a second house in the game

[@fieryphoenix586]

Didn't the guild say something along the lines of "nuclear weapons are forbidden?" Damn Harkonnen.

[@someguy1747]

Considering the blast yield is smaller than the previous Death Hand(s) used in "Dune2" and "Dune2000" the Harkonnen Superweapon in "Emperor:BattleForDune" is equipped only with conventional High-explosive yields mixed with chemicals rather than actual "Atomics".

[@alphlife]

Fedaykin can do it when living world is toggled on. Just put them out in the sand and use their move (I think you just double click on them to call a wurm).

[@smigows]

alphlife Ty I'll to try it.

[@TheKnightOfSmite]

@@smigows Fedaykin have a move where they put a thumper in the sand and after a while a worm pops up but instead of it eating them they ride it and you get to control it (whatever it runs into is instant killed). After a while or if it eats too much/takes too much damage it goes back under the sand and the Fedaykin jump off

[@AlexanderKotovsky79]

yes, this is really great game.

[@EmperorCricri]

i think this was the first modern rts - ea took so much from emperor - 3 factions, subgroups. but i got to say - no cnc-rts reached emperor battle for dune in puncto using terrain -> infantry cover/trenches etc.

yeah this game was insane! on of the best 3d rts

[@JuNioR1984-e5i]

@sarix19 after you install the game, right click on the dune exe on your desktop or in the game folder and select: troubleshoot compability -> Use recommended settings -> click on Start the Program then click Next (it will try to apply win XP compability) -> Yes, save these settings for this program close that and try to start the game. If it doesn't work try again but this time don't select "Yes, save these..." select "No, try again using different settings "

[@JuNioR1984-e5i]

[@AceHalford]

@1oglop1 Freman Fediyken, take him to the sand and deploy him then just wait, controlling the worm is alittle annoying but fun

[@chengmunwai]

Units struck by the "Hawk Strike" that are near the edge of the screen can literally "fall off the edge" of the screen and disappear with the "Unit Loss" clip being played. I wonder if this is a bug, I don't think it was the original intention for the designers to design the Superweapon of the Atreides to kill units by stealth.

[@MansMan42069]

They get scared shitless by a giant bird hologram that they be like "Nnnnope".

[@Sniff4eg]

@1oglop1 i didnt even played generals :D ra2 was awesome, yes.... but it was released way too early (thx to ea)... it may be so much better... did u see artic shots of westwood plans? that was awesome! and they made only 1\3 of the plan. but since i loved tiberium saga a lot... i really liked c&c3 too.

[@fisk0]

Yeah, too bad, the Dune universe is great. Emperor didn't have very much in common with either the books or the movie, but it got an great atmosphere, and the sandworms where huge. I'd love to see a sequel, perhaps containing more interplanetary combat (like, keeping pretty non-linear campaign mode and expanding it over an entire solar system), though I'm not sure how the economics would work since it is clear that melange is only available on Arrakis.

[@weldonwin]

Wait, so... What does Hawk Strike actually do? Death Hand is basically a nuke and Chaos Lightning sends enemy units berzerk, but what does Hawk Strike do?

[@somerandomdude7785]

Scares Enemy Units until they run off-map.

[@CnCDune]

The Hawk Strike "scares" units for a set duration. If the affected units are slow enough (like Devastators) and/or far enough from the retreat point (the affected units retreat to a specific spot on the map-edge), then the Hawk Strike will finish and the unit is still on the battlefield, where it stops and awaits orders.

[@EmperorCricri]
