I found some interesting links from Dune II quotes since (unfortunately) there is none of this on Wikia unlike Warcraft series... • Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty Quotes • Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (Video Game 1992) - Quotes - IMDb • Dune II: Battle for Arrakis (game) - Retro Legends I also found something interesting about the tactics and data of the Units and Structures of Dune II. I prefer not to post the direct download link of the file in respect to the site, giving the opportunity for more people to visit and know the site. • Dune II Insider's Guide - PDF Drive |

The score of each mission in Dune II is very similar to that of Warcraft I. Some similarities would be: • Number of your Units killed; • Amount of your Buildings / Structures destroyed; • Number of enemy Units killed; • Number of enemy Buildings / Structures destroyed; • Amount of Spice Melange harvested; Some peculiarities would be: • The existence of the extremely resilient Sandworm (up to 2) that hinders the harvest of the Spice Melange and consequently in its available treasure; • The constant deterioration of the Buildings / Structures (is there no Butler / Manager or something similar?) In up to 50% of HP; • There is a limit on the total number of Units in the mission. I do not remember if there was limit on the amount of Buildings / Structures as well; • The enemy attacks from the edges of the map; • I forgot to mention that the time it takes you to complete the mission also determines your ranking. It took me a long time to complete each mission (4 to 5 hours) thanks to the damn Sandworms. I drew Sandworms and enemy Units through the fastest Vehicle to my waiting Army. The Sandworm was delayed to be mortally wounded, but the enemy Units were quickly destroyed without any loss of units on my part. |

• If a Unit of Soldiers is crushed by a medium / large armored vehicle, the death of the Unit is inevitable; • If a Unit of Soldiers is hit by Sandworm, the death is inevitable; • If a Unit of Soldiers is swallowed by Sandworm, the death is inevitable; • If a Unit of Soldiers inadvertently steps on a “sandbank” resulting in an explosion (of Spice Melange), the death is inevitable; • If a civil / military Armored Unit is swallowed up by Sandworm, the destruction is inevitable; • If a civilian / military Armored Unit inadvertently crosses a “sandbank” resulting in an explosion (of Spice Melange), destruction is inevitable; If a Structure is hit by a Harkonnen or Corrino / Sardaukar Missile, the destruction is inevitable. One way to avoid this would be to edit the Palace to some Structure of similar size. Or make the Palace as your House. Perhaps all these conditions were determined by programmers so that no matter how big the HP of the Unit / Structure, if the condition happens, the destruction is inevitable. |

And they DID exist in the game. That is, it is possible to make your own scenario using them. When a unit attacks it, a new random unit will emerge. When a unit goes over it, the unit will explode. In the original game scenario's they were not used though. Spice blooms are what the name suggests: you attack it or walk on it and *booom* the pre-spice mass explodes and you get a new spice field. (though, as with the crates, if you walk over it instead of shooting it, the unit will be destroyed). ;-) |

heisant | I wouldn't be that pessimistic. With the steam community, GoG and Kickstarter things are getting better, and publishers should finally realize the lesser community has some serious saying in the game industry. Take a look at Brian Fargo, who ultimately resurrected one of the best RPG development studios Black Isle. It's called inXile now, but the folk is all local. | |

Don't count on that. And even if it would be the case, there is more to game producing than a name. There is many people behind each game and when you get a great studios then it is the mix of so many great people working together which end up creating that great game which make the difference. I'm sure any studios would purchase the right to slap "Westwood Studios" on any of their products if they thought it would boost sales by a factor of whatever. |

heisant | Now when EA lost their old CEO, maybe there is a chance we'll be seeing the return of westwood. | |
