I wanna know if these techniques would be useful for Emperor: Battle for Dune (2001). It's the first 3D RTS by Westwood Studios, predating C&C Generals by just a couple years. It's popularity was hampered by intellectual property disputes and a introduction of a new faction that diverged from the book series lore. The gameplay, soundtrack, and campaign missions were awesome.

This was one of the best RTS of the era. Still holds up today. The music was also very good.

Try it before July 7 when Fable disappears from Claude Code subscription pricing.

Billed at unsubsidized (and very expensive) API rates.

This is not Dune 2000 ? https://www.openra.net/download/#linux

No, this was a far superior sequel to Dune 2000.

Emperor was a great game. My only real complaint was the five sub-factions seemed to be imbalanced. I’d like to revisit to see if the was missing something.

I remember that game! Cinematics! and some units had dune realistic shields so when hit with laser, both attacker and defender died. I don't think i've finished it, ending had some worm timer mission i couldn't get to in time.
