Emperor: Battle for Dune

Emperor: Battle for Dune is the third RTS game by Westwood based on the book by Frank Herbert entitled “Dune”. The action starts where the Dune 2 ended, and that is after the death of Emperor Frederick the 4th. The main goal of the game is to take complete control over the natural resources of the planet.

Just like in the previous productions, the players has the possibility of leading one family: House Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos. Adittionally, you may ally yourself with smaller clans. Each of those has characteristic qualities. In contrast to its predecessors, Dune 2 and Dune 2000, the action takes place not only on the Arrakis desert planet, but also on others, scattered throughout the galaxy. We will fight battles between heavenly Caldan ocean, urbanized junk yard, Geidi Prime, and the icy Sigma Draconis.

• Dozens of new units, some of which have two combat modes.
• Possibility of fighting a “live” opponent via the Internet.
• Five groups whom you can ally yourself with and trade technologies and units.
