DUNE 2000 GAME FACTIONS HOW TO
Some older gameplay systems have relevance in the modern era, and the design limitations and missteps of older games can inform the player or designer on both how to make a big difference with limited resources, and can underscore the reasoning behind some modern design conventions. Within this article I will be examining the Dune series of games and the mechanics and systems that are worth revisiting in the modern era of gaming in 2015. Embracing the campiness of its topic added character to a genre that has ended up seriously lacking in personality and brightened what otherwise could have been a fairly clinical and even subpar series of games. Anyone who’s seen the film, with Sting playing one of the major characters, and whom Siskel and Ebert rated amongst the worst released that year, would not have expected it to produce anything along the lines of a memorable and excellently crafted RTS series. The Dune RTS series is based on the 1984 movie Dune, by David Lynch and not directly on the novels themselves.
And, coming back to the game and its sequels as an adult with a more critical eye for games design, I cannot help but appreciate what Westwood did with the series. Dune 2 is considered one of the founding games of the real-time strategy genre, and as such it is often given place of pride by veteran RTS players (especially those who prefer Westwood’s style of game design).
