In case that's a philosophical, retorical question, ignore my answer below

Muad'Dib = Paul Atreides' Fremen name, chosen after a sort of hopping desert mouse. The Fremen associated this creature with some good characteristic which I've forgotten. Though I remember the movie(s?) told it slightly differently.

Ignored but i am sure that the Muad'Dib was someone outside, i will repeat it, OUTSIDE Dune and the fremens.

I remember it . Muad'Dib was a sort of envoy of Ala. There were many falses Muad'Dibs in the history. The last one, lived in Egipt. He fighted the frenchs armies of Napoleon. He told to his followers that thay were untouchable to the french bullets. With near 10000 mens they made a surprise attack on a lost fort with french troops. His name became famous and a danger to Napoleon. A general attacked him with 8000 elites troops and the result were 56 french dead and near 4000 of the followers of this Muad'Dib. The Muad'Dib told to his people that only the people with a true and complete fait were unvulnerable. And took the lead in the first place in a charge in a new battle. A french bullet killed him...

I don't like the design in this game.
It really doesn't portray the Dune universe as it should have been, unlike Dune 2 or Dune 2000/Emperor or even the film, it gives it a kinda cartoony bizarre look (the ornithopters just look stupid).
Otherwise the game is great, it's just the strange design.

I'll add another mistake regarding background: laser weapons. Shouldn't be used by ground troops according to the Dune books.
