I already made that video. czcams.com/video/GE5LV6Uo7VY/video.html This one was was to show how to do it without the cheese strategy and have some fun and explore the map.

@@Kroepoek82 fair enough 😂

yes 😁

Godmode music. Nine Inch Nails inspired industrial war rock

Dune was years before Star Wars!!🙃😉 Im kidding..I havent played that game, is it also an RTS?

Good to hear it got recommended. Its been a lot of nostaliga and fun for me. Definitely worth playing.

The biggest downside of this game sadly...grouped voice lines...while there are so many good ones available.

Ye I found the strategy online. I used to do it back then, but I forgot the details of it. When playing the mission I found out that if you damage ANY of their harvesters or capture the GUILD artiellry cannon or go too close to their base, the enrage timer starts and depending on the difficulty, you have max 15 minutes to end the mission. So need to stay back and pick apart their defenses and bases along the way without damaging their harvesters or getting too close to the worm. Keep defending with Kobra's, they are superb bases defenses. For atreides its minotaurs and Mongoose with snipers. With Harkonnen its Flame tanks, Devastators and Missile tanks or just spam Air defense Platforms.

I remember playing an RTS game in elementary school. I looked for hours for this game but I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. All I remember is it is set in WWII. There is a campaign for the Americans, the Germans, and the Soviets. In the game the command bar is on the bottom like StarCraft. When choosing the campaign it will take you to a beautifully rendered tank of that faction in appropriate weather, ie, for Soviet it is snowing. I remember the game was damn hard and could not progress anywhere. Like harder than original Command and Conquer. There is base building and so many kinds of units, from flamethrowers to tanks of so many kinds. I remember the icon to access the building options animates when you select it, it animates as a building appearing out of the ground kinda like Dune 2000 building but without the sand covering it. The animation loops. Can also build defensive turrets. There is AI for the skirmish. It was early 2000. It was probably not a famous game. 3D graphics. Wait. I found it! Thanks to the subreddit, tip of my joystick. www.myabandonware.com/game/world-war-ii-panzer-claws-d96 www.eurogamer.net/ho-frontlineattack Frontline Attack: War Over Europe. Also known as World War 2: Panzer Claws. A game from Poland. Not much high quality content on CZcams yet about this game. Most interesting thing about this game was that the campaign and the skirmish plays like two different games. The campaign is more like Blitzkrieg or Sudden Strike with no base building and big need to use your limited units tactically. But the skirmish is more like Red Alert 2 with base building, collecting money, and building units and building turrets. I remember now why it was so difficult to progress, it had a really rock paper scissors, infantry cannot damage tanks, and tanks cannot damage infantry, unless anti-tank infantry or something like that. I did not get that because I was used to Westwood games. It was just a game so different from everything I know, then and even now. Like CoH has rock paper scissors but the tanks can kill infantry easily while the US in CoH2 can use infantry to kill everything. But in this game combined arms is mandatory. Sorry for the long message. But your channel has always helped me unlock childhood memories. And I'm really happy I finally found out what this game was.

@@cruelangel7737 Thanks so much for yourinvested comment. I enjoyed reading it and the enthusiasm you've shown in this series. I can honestly tell you that I've never played those games, but I'll try and see if I can get them running. Will be a complete blind playthrough if I can get them to work. Thanks again for the effort in writing that all out!

Haha ye. There is a note in the manual or it was mentioned somewhere that they can do that:) The guild faction NIAB tanks are pretty spiffy :) You have access to them in Multiplayer or Skirmish.

Definitely. Needed the space for construction and wasn't in the mood for some tree-hugging hippies.

Uh, that would be interesting. Build it as you progress the campaign!

That would be amazing, and add all the things the developers wanted to do with it too. Maybe a sequel would be even better.

@@Kroepoek82 it's one of my all time favourite RTS but my issue with is that the storyline is supposed to happen after the events of dune however some of the characters are not in continuity - the Duke of atreides is different to that mentioned in dune 2000 as well as the atreides mentat. Same with ordos. Not too sure about harkonen. Nonetheless the acting was superb as should be in true Westwood studios fashion.

I know right, no need to travel half the map to reach them.

I think it's made with a Starport,, all factories and / or a palace is present.

Ye!~Was close to a restart of the whole mission...the worm snacked well on that cobra...

I've seen the first revelas. It looks promising indeed.

Haha ye. Harkonnens still never heard of lockdowns.

The licenses for it are now with the people that made the new movies I believe. They could initiate something of a remaster or a sequel!

My money and my science is being pilfered by the poors! AAARGH!!! - IX, frightened and rich.

Frightened rich people make for easy money :)

I know...so many voicelines available..but for multiple units they went with this

@@Kroepoek82 imagine making love with your gf and starting to scream "Complying, complying, for house Ordos!"

With all the in-game mechas combining to make a big one!

Sadly not. It's the sand. Those are Dust Bowl's. The Ordos Dust Scout can burrow themselves inside. The night setting and different lighting makes it look like water.

@@Kroepoek82 wow. I never knew that before. I played this game when I was a kid. Highlight of my childhood. Thanks for making these videos. Really trip down memory lane.

@@cruelangel7737 Love to hear that! You are very welcome!

They deserved it!

The attack quads were so good in Dune 2000. This level actually had a decent start for a whole sub-faction of Gola.

Annoying pests, however way you write it xD

Sadly not. Someone would need to build a mod for that..or significantly reduce the amount of orders you give by simple clicking less.

Hahaha ye. The projected leech larva really works! It's brutally effective since the leeches got such insane speed. Infantry can be easily dealt with by chem troopers and cobras.

Windows 10 normally. Got lucky in getting it running. Im no computer expert, especially on old games, but it seems to work now.

She does a great job. Loved the energy she gave to the role.

I preferred ederic from dune 2000

Don't know. Still running Windows 10. Will switch to 11 at the latest possible opportunity. Preferably till all the Win 11 bugs been crushed.

Chronosphere malfunction for sure!

It is! Takes a while to recognize him normally:)

Also the mentat is premier romanov

The nostalgia really hits with this one.

Fixed it. Turned it on now, but got a few videos already in queue for the next days. It's definitely a huge difference!

Hahahaha nice one. Gonna use that as a title for one of the videos of the Ordos campaign. :)

Ye, agreed. I think the project was about to be cancelled or their funding was cut. The team had to make due with a lot less time and resources. You can tell by just playing the game they wanted to do so much more with it then what was actually published.

@@Kroepoek82 If they had more development time, I think Emperor would've achieved the lofty design goals the team behind it set for it. It was almost there. Almost. The main game definitely needed refining, too. The cancelled expansion, Alliances, sounded really fun, and it's a shame all we have is a treatment overview of it on FED2K. It's a shame the engine isn't that moddable: Finishing the game and adding new/cut/planned features would've been amazing.

Yeah! And the homeworlds have water. But no naval units are available. Just imagine an ornithopter carrier for the Atreides. A heavy battleship for the Harkonnen. A submarine for the Ordos.

Good question, but surely old connections and a lot of money was involved.

02:05 is the start, 2nd part at 03:56 that town is a zombietown now, see in 04:19

It grows on you! They really brought some energy on the screen.

Building walls is very noisy hahaha

They had plans for a lot more with this game. Sadly a lot of that was not feasible with budget constraints and deadlines. The team/game was already close to being cancelled completely

@@Kroepoek82 expwnssion? Doc or stand Alonę game, Like ice wind Dale, same mechanice as BaG

Rules who need them? :P and plotholes....or were they devious plots?

Ye...That might have been a nice incentive to do it. Would make for a really different ending too.

@@Kroepoek82 Yeah, maybe have the opportunity to invade the other houses home world too

Maybe making the final mission somewhat different if you managed to capture all Arrakis territories.

They tend to.."bug" out on their attacks...They are good but I don't like them a lot.

@@Kroepoek82 its useless to spend money on them, i believe during rys battle a full combat counter ability unit is top priority

Ye! Dune 2000 and the originals too

@@Kroepoek82 hyppe will end on 2 months

Sorry to hear about the break-in. These are abandonware at some point, but its not the original you first had. There is a thumper unit in multiplayer where you can do just that strategy!
