I would like to see another Dune strategy-based game, except it has the factions from the later books: like the Honored Matres, the Thinking Machines, etc. I would also like to see live-action cutscenes, along with some noticeable actors/actresses. For example, Mary Elizabeth Winstead would be excellent as a member of the Honored Matres.
Ok, I have a question - if Emperor is the sequel to Dune 2000, then who won in the previous game?
The intro shows the Ordos ending (Elara kills Frederick with the Gom-Jabbar), however there are several indications in the game that the Atreides won:
First, Achillus announces himself as "Duke Achillus OF Arrakis." Second, the first Atreides cutscene takes place on Arrakis (not on the House home planet). Finally - no mention of a failed previous commander (as seen in Ordos and Harkonnen).
@AlexeiVoronin Funny that all the Mentats and leaders changed, like Leto to Achillus. There was also indication that it was taking during the books:Shaddam IV as the Corrino leader in Emperor, Leto as the Atreides leader in 2000. Oh, and Edric O bears similarities to the Speaker.
@DarthRushy - Ah yes, I have suspected that the Speaker is actually Edric 0. The Executrix were not happy with his performance and decided find a better use for him ;)
Or perhaps ingesting Spice made him powerful enough to to serve as a central hub for the minds of the four Executrix members.
We will never know for sure. Even if there is a sequel to this game, there will probably be an entirely new cast.
@AlexeiVoronin They kept Elara's and Frederick's actors. Oh, and I really hope that Edric 0's mind survived. He was truly awesome. Btw, can you tell me why the Guild representative said that they were the last 3 Houses. It's impossible. Most planets in the Old Imperium had Houses. And do you PLZ know what's up with the green color reflecting the Atreides Mentat in the Giedi Prime cutscene and the Ordos Mentat in most cutscenes?
@DarthRushy - Perhaps they meant that the Atreides, Ordos and Harkonnen were the last Houses powerful enough to participate in the war (and eventually crown a new Emperor). There certainly are many more Houses in the Dune Universe (Ginaz, Ecaz, Fenrig, Moritani, Vernius, Richese, Wallach, etc.). They are probably too weak compared to the three playable Houses and are therefore ignored.
I suspect the green glow is a reflection from the green screen they used while shooting the videos :P
@DarthRushy - I just remembered something about the Atreides final mission in Dune 2000. The briefing mentiones that the Imperial Sardaukar came in force, causing a lot of confusion all over the planet. The Atreides lost numerous territories and troops, and yet they were able to attack and destroy the Emperor's palace, winning the war.
That could explain the situation at the beginning of Emperor - the Atreides managed to control only 1/3 of the planet, the other Houses took the other 2/3.
@AlexeiVoronin Yeah, and the Atreides were also the only ones not to show Predecessor(who was the same in Harkonnen and Ordos cutscenes). But in the beginning we see the Ordos cutscene and how can Elara be alive in Atreides or Harkonnen ending?
@DarthRushy - I'm not sure. If the Ordos did win the war, then who is the failed predecessor?
It is possible that the successful commander retired (with a considerable compensation package) and that other guy took his place. He lost territories to the Atreides and Harkonnen and was punished (to serve as an example to future commanders). A new strategist was then procured.
As for Edric 0, the Executrix decided they were ready to merge their minds and needed him to be their Speaker... maybe.
@DarthRushy - It's hard to say. As I mentioend earlier, it is possible that the Ordos won, then retired the successful commander (with a "compensation package") and got a new one who failed (and lost territories).
Also, the first intro movie says that the Emperor died by Lady Elara's hand. This happens only in the Ordos ending of D2000. And I have the feeling she helped the saboteur enter the palace ;)
@Narania234 - Don't forget that the Dune universe is a very strange place, quite different from our world. Our views of "good" and "evil" are not applicable in it.
Of course, the games tend to exaggerate a bit. In the original Dune novel, the Harkonnen aren't exactly evil, they are just very cunning and treacherous (more like the Ordos in the games). They are more interested in profit than violence and bloodshed.
Härkönen is a Finnish family name: härkä means bull and rauta means iron.
My point is Nazis were cold, detached, emotionless, obedient control freaks. Nazis hated neurotics, mentaly unstable and considered them madmen fit only for extermination. Nazis would regard Harkonnen as madmen and wanted to exterminate them.
Allies in WW2 used more flame tanks and flamethrowers than Nazis and Japs.
Guild and Tleilaxu are true evil, Westwood is correct.
@DarthRushy Harkonnens have the strongest miltary, Ordos have the superior technology. Atreides are narrow-minded , emotionless, obedient, detached, right-wing conservative, fools obsessed by honour. Atrides a are more similar to Nazis than the rest. Leto II the Worm was the most horrible tyrant in history of Dune. Westwood is correct, emperor worm-Leto II Atrides is far worse than Harkonnens.
Harkonnen movies are the best., their music is the best, it's easy to kill the Atreides with Harkonnens
@Narania234= Nice try Face dancer. Your revisionist lies don't fool me. At least Leto II did not put heart plugs in his subjects and other atrocities. Now excuse me, I have to catch a Heighliner.
@vigo894 I didn't talk to you, ridiculous bootlicker. Your Atreides overlords are taking liquids from the body of the defeated commander in case of defeat. According to your lies Harkonnens are evil only because they are ''gingers'', gay, use flamethrowers and are mentaly unstable. In WW2, Allies used flame tanks and flamethrowers extensively against Germans and Japs.
You right-wing, conservatives try to blame mentally unstable people for all evil. Gunseng is an anti-hero, not a villain.
@1987Challenger3 ''In fiction, an antihero (sometimes antiheroine as feminine) is generally considered to be a protagonist whose character is at least in some regards conspicuously contrary to that of the archetypal hero, and is in some instances its antithesis in which the character is generally useless at being a hero when they're supposed to be one''.
Antiheroes:Riddick, Wolverine from X-Men, Altaïr from Assassin's Creed.
Leto II Atreides\TheTyrant- Evil Overlord\ Lawful Evil.
@1987Challenger3 ''After Leto's death, as a result of years of their three thousand year imprisonment, the human race exploded outward into the universe, in an event known as the Scattering. Leto was forever remebered, and refered to as "The Tyrant", even unto the time when the human race returned from the Scattering''.
Leto II=Emperor Worm
Elara is alive in Harkonnen ending, which means they freed her. Watch Elara's Quietus to see real villains:Shafla- Lawful Evil, Clix-Neutral Evil.
@vigo894 Your precioius Worm approved of Bene Tlelax inhumane organic technology when they ghola-cloned his pedo lover, Malky. When your worm fell into the water, his sandworm body was dissolved, this caused painful, agonising death, fitting end for the Tyrant of the known universe.
Bene Gesserit and all others called Leto the Tyrant and Guldur. From Tolkien's Dol Guldur, fortress of Dark Lord Sauron.
I prefer transport from Smuggler's Guild.

these elaborate hand motions are not from Lynch´s move. I mean, sure, the appeared also in Lynch´s movie but Lynch most likely took the Idea from the Dune books. Remember the secret hand signs almost every faction in the Duniverse use to cover up what they actually want to say to everyone who is listening but is not supposed to be listening. :D
Peace is not an option for House Ordos? So, I hope that the Atreides should not attack Draconis IV. Ordos citizens may see than "Peace is a forced option", if their house is defeated by the sons of Atreus, because House Harkonnen; they will take the enemies civilians as "slaves", and will have supplies for many years. This is terror. UH, I don't understand this "mercantile house of mercenaries", even now.
Oh, no! If I was the Atreides general, I'd attack Draconis IV in retaliation for ghola-assasin attack on Caladan! Ordos are actually more threat than the Harkonnen with their subterfuge tactics.
@AndrewtheDuke Wrong, Ordos - more likely (Corporates) Just because there is an Asian chick doesn't mean it's Asian. Go check out RFID, Cyberdyne, etc.
@AndrewtheDuke Certainly ot. atreides are right-wing, conservative, religious undeamentalist obsessed by honor, they are German-like. Atreides is a feudal authoritarian dictatorship, there is nothing democratic among them.
Härkönen is a Finnish family name: härkä means bull and rauta means iron. Harkonnen are some badass Finns. Gunseng

Funny thing is that atomics are forbiden by default. Should a house use it "against human population" they'd be banished and hunted by all the houses of the landsraad.
Well fuck me sideways, that really does fit the Ordos. They're both totalitarian in all aspects but the market. Not necessarily leftist, but very Modern China.
Nah, this is DUNE. This video's from a sequel to a game that's based off of a 1984 movie that's based off of a science fiction novel series from Frank Herbert called Dune. Actually, a lot of elements from Dune are used in W40K, specifically the concept of planets being kept inhospitable so they can be used as warrior training facilities, mutated humans being used as Navigators, female religious warriors used by an all powerful God-Emperor, and possibly the concept of the Imperium of Man itself.
In the game timeline things turned out differently, the Duke and Baron are from secondary bloodlines. The Primary bloodlines wiped each other out before the events of Dune.
Pretty much, Leto and Vladamir killed each other in their own war of assassins shortly after the murder of Leto's first son. In the 'real' timeline Thufir stops Leto from attacking Vladamir as they have no proof of his involvement. Feyd and Rabban are from the Rautha-Harkonnen line, Vladamir's cousin dropped the Harkonnen from the family name when he abdicated his line from inheritance. In this timeline they grew up minor nobles out of the line of succession.

um thasts not true .... the ordos were spions in the original movie (they tried to kidnap an spice-collector it was just mantionet as a sidenote ... someone said :they are probalbly the ordos definately not the harkonnen or something.....
I guess my English knowledge wasn't good enough to understand what they were saying in Dune 2000. I think the Executrix was just a strange creature to me at that time.
Ordos was mentioned in the Dune Encyclopedia, but that was later declared non-canonical by both Frank and Brian Herbert. I'm not sure why they chose to make the Duke a black man, but this guy does a very good job portraying the regal and honorable leader. He almost strikes me as a black King Arthur.
who cares? it's a non-canon dune game, they can do anything they want. many of the world's greatest spiritual leaders in the past have been black people, so they may have tried to make a connection there.
I have installed the patch and the game will install, except it stays on the EA logo, sometimes the Westwood logo appears after it, but then it hangs. I have no idea what kind of solution i need, anyone, any idea?!
Maybe something to do with service packs for windows i heard.
Not yet, but they are making Red Alert 3, so anythings possible. The Dune Series MADE the RTS genre. Let me restate that, the Dune Series didn't invent the RTS genre, but they might as well have. For EA to ignore the series that made them and hundreds (hyperbole) of other studios billions of dollars doesn't make sense. In other words, I sure hope they make another one.
Such a great concept like Dune is almost impossible to put into a series, but given a Dune channel and no concept of time per episode, the possibilities could be endless. Maybe one day the viewing will be as good as the book, think of the details...
The guy who played worf in star trek the next generation is the black guy playing the duke atriedes. The fryar in robin hood prince of thieves is the white guy playing the baron harkonnen. Cool!
I would like to see another Dune strategy-based game, except it has the factions from the later books: like the Honored Matres, the Thinking Machines, etc. I would also like to see live-action cutscenes, along with some noticeable actors/actresses.

Funny thing is that atomics are forbiden by default. Should a house use it "against human population" they'd be banished and hunted by all the houses of the landsraad.

Is this Warhammer 40 k
SNIPERjamnik 2 years ago
Nah, this is DUNE. This video's from a sequel to a game that's based off of a 1984 movie that's based off of a science fiction novel series from Frank Herbert called Dune. Actually, a lot of elements from Dune are used in W40K, specifically the concept of planets being kept inhospitable so they can be used as warrior training facilities, mutated humans being used as Navigators, female religious warriors used by an all powerful God-Emperor, and possibly the concept of the Imperium of Man itself.

In the game timeline things turned out differently, the Duke and Baron are from secondary bloodlines. The Primary bloodlines wiped each other out before the events of Dune.
DarthSutekh 2 years ago
You mean Leto/Paul Atreides as well as Vladimir/Feyd Harkonnen bloodlines were wiped out and replaced by this new characters?
bursegsardaukar 2 years ago
Pretty much, Leto and Vladamir killed each other in their own war of assassins shortly after the murder of Leto's first son. In the 'real' timeline Thufir stops Leto from attacking Vladamir as they have no proof of his involvement. Feyd and Rabban are from the Rautha-Harkonnen line, Vladamir's cousin dropped the Harkonnen from the family name when he abdicated his line from inheritance. In this timeline they grew up minor nobles out of the line of succession.

Hi all,
if you are nostalgic Westwood fans, fed up with EA's destructive acts on the C&C universe and want Westwood Studios back like me, then go on

because "we are going to have to act if we want to live in a different world" and have the right to call for Westwood's back for all this company has done for us
Thanx a lot for sharing this and your support

In the orriginal dune, house ordos doesn't exist, but its a good option as third faction.
The only thing I am soory about is that the Bene Gesserit doesn't exist in the game.

um thasts not true .... the ordos were spions in the original movie (they tried to kidnap an spice-collector it was just mantionet as a sidenote ... someone said :they are probalbly the ordos definately not the harkonnen or something.....

Ordos was mentioned in the Dune Encyclopedia, but that was later declared non-canonical by both Frank and Brian Herbert. I'm not sure why they chose to make the Duke a black man, but this guy does a very good job portraying the regal and honorable leader. He almost strikes me as a black King Arthur.
AlaricRose 3 years ago 2
who cares? it's a non-canon dune game, they can do anything they want. many of the world's greatest spiritual leaders in the past have been black people, so they may have tried to make a connection there.

seopeter22 3 years ago 9
Not yet, but they are making Red Alert 3, so anythings possible. The Dune Series MADE the RTS genre. Let me restate that, the Dune Series didn't invent the RTS genre, but they might as well have. For EA to ignore the series that made them and hundreds (hyperbole) of other studios billions of dollars doesn't make sense. In other words, I sure hope they make another one.
