Played via OpenRA. It's ok, but I don't like the mechanic of requiring building on a concrete slab or your things take slow damage.

Real-time strategy taking place in Frank Herbert's "Dune" universe. The game is a remake of a classic RTS game "Dune 2". Player can play as a commander of one of three different factions: Harkonnen, Atreides or Ordos.
Do you like the feeling you get when you have won over someone? If it was something that we had really worked hard, then the fell of victory is something precious and incalculable. The game Dune 2000 could help in giving your competitive spirit a new edge. It is an updated version of the Dune II. In this game the player would have to fight for an interesting thing; the control of the spices in the galaxy. The spices control could make you the most powerful there. The player has to choose to be one of the three houses first: Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos.
Each house has its own vice and virtue and the right selection could give the player right start to the game but he could learn as well as, later in the game with time. Once you choose a side, you to win the King’s challenge of producing the most amount of spice. It won’t be as easy as it sounds. For getting the control of the spices, the player has to fight over the other two houses by all means.
Dune 2000 is done with enough of stunt and live-in scenes to pep up the theme and there is a soothing sound score to add to the overall theme. It’s a game based on the Dune series book of Frank Herbert and gives the player a real pleasure of both combat and competition.

can't remember who mentioned this the other week (since we can't look at status posted public) but THANKS. Really enjoying this and can't believe i never even knew about it (or the one after it!) i'm playing the win 10 friendly (and freely available) gruntmods distro,... Just made it to final mission of the House Ordos. (Already completed Atreides)

The only mission I really had any trouble with was the notorious mission 8. One evening I sat down after work and spent 6 hours on mission 8 without any hope of winning the mission. Next evening I set up my base differently and smashed it in a couple of hours. Ironically, the final level of Atreides is one of the easier, more fun levels. I lost my construction yard early on but it didn't really slow me down much. I just made engineers and took over other bases. I am moving on to C&C and Red Alert now.
