I played Dune for hours and hours, it's short only if you want to finish it quickly

I once started a Dune game with the purpose of greening the entire planet. I became boring when 120 days were played. Plus you'll get a spice/imperator problem.
I read that there was a possibility of "cheating" (it's more like spoofing the game), you defeat the Harkonnens and then simply don't go to the palace or something.

Me too, but it's impossible to cover the entire planet since plants go to the north

If there is one, I haven't figured it out yet. Some years ago I tried scanning for the right bytes with a hexeditor but I couldn't find that exact amount anywhere in the savegame file.

Reverse the order of bytes (ie 00 23 B2 6F becomes 6F B2 23 00 and so on). It works for some games.

Well...it's not a solution to your problem but it could help...you have to start your game again or load an old savegame.
At a certain point of the game Jessica (your mother) will ask you to follow her to search some secret rooms into the Palace, you don't have to find the "Communication room"



In this way you'll be able to harvest all the spice from a limitated number of sietches on Dune, Harkonnen won't attack your north territories and you won't loose troops and equipment. Yeah, the story of the game won't go ahead but you'll earn lot of spice...and the Emperor can't ask you spice.

After 60-80 days you'll finish spice and you'll be ready to find the secret room and start the game with a good background k:
(Remember, Harkonnen won't attack territories with no more spice)

I created this to bypass the copyprotection.
The version on Abandonia is cracked, but I'm sure that some guys like me have a different version (and maybe not the English one).

Please let me know if there's something wrong, if someone is interested I also have the original .doc version. (Send me a PM)

Moreover if you want I'll upload it to the site.
(I''ll create my personal directory on AB's FTP soon)
