Sandworm Tower/Shai-Hulud Minaret
| Sent by: A Person |
| House: Atreides and Fremen |
| Name: Sandworm Tower/Shai-Hulud Minaret |
| Abilities: The Sandworm Tower/Shai-Hulud Minaret does nothing with respect to actually worms, but it works on the same attack principle. It sends a huge 3/4 worm sized but twice as long as a worm tentacle through the ground, the tentacle resembles a sandworm, and it comes up through the ground and can devour a tank whole and damage any other units next to it. It can also devour 5 infantry units whole as long as they are side by side. |
| Appearance: The Sandworm Tower/Shai-Hulud Minaret looks like a Gun Turret without the gun on top. Since the tentacle it uses is totally subterranean, the part above ground does little except spot the target and aim the tentacle. The tentacle looks like a smaller metal version of a sandworm with rotating drills and blades inside the "mouth". |
| Other Info: The Atreides need to have the Fremen as their allies before they can research this weapon. Prerequisets: Atreides Barracks, Ix Research Center, Atreides Palace. This Structure is extremely slow to fire (12 secs between "worm" going back underground and next attack.) and so should therefore never be used as you sole means of defense. It should have missile or gun turret back up, and it is particularly vulnerable to sonic tanks as the vibrations disallign the tentacles mechanisms and can cause them to malfunction and tear the tower apart. |

A powerful electro-magnetic burst is released, damaging all electronics in its range. Although, this causes little damage to each building in the range of the burst, it has the effect of rendering all windtraps in the area inoperable for a minute or so. The EM burst also affects the light, heavy, and factories, slowing down production for the same duration. The EM burst however does not affect units. |
| Appearance: Basically the same as the Death Hand missile. |
| Other Info: # Alternative palace weapon to the Fremen. # With the EM burst, hopefully the rocket turrets will come off-line, making the enemy base vulnerable to ornithopter attacks. |

| House: Harkonnen and Atreides |
| Name: Ion Cannon/Flame Thrower Ornithopter |
| Abilities: An ornithopter that, when charged (15-30 minute charge time) Fires an Ion Cannon, inflicting massive damage, about the same as 1/2 death hand missile. If not charged, its will fire a flame thrower. The flame thrower will make infantry crispy in one blast, and can burn tanks in about 10 hits. |
| Appearance: Looks like an ornithopter with a big stick in the front. |

A special tower can jam the ion cannon just as it's firing, making the ornithopter explode. This will have a limited amount of gas for the flame thrower, and must land and reload. REQUIRES: IX, Ornithopter pad, and High-Tech factory. |

Standard Bearer
| Sent by: Tyson |
| House: Atreides |
| Name: Standard Bearer |
| Abilities: The Atreides Standard Bearer leads infantry charges. He carries no weapons and has below average hit points however encourages the soldiers within a certain radius around him to fight relentlessly for their Duke giving them bonuses to their firepower, speed, and rate of fire. |
| Appearance: He wears the dark blue uniform of an Atreides officer and carries a large flag. When told to attack he cries out "Charge" or "For the Duke" or some other rallying cry like that. |
| Other Info: In every real time strategy game I've played I've always disliked how the weaker units used early on in the game were neglected towards the end. I thought the Standard Bearer would be a good way to keep infantry useful throughout the game. |

Molecular Pad
| Sent by: Atreides |
| House: Atreides |
| Name: Molecular Pad |

| Appearance: Looks like a simple drawing on the ground with an 'X' in the middle of the circle. The Hi-tech things are underneath. |
| Other Info: People walking over it will only have it's armour repaired, not its strength. If it explodes things on square around it will disintergrate slowly because of its ion storage and heavy proton batteries |
Paul Atriedes
| Sent by: Bill Hansell |
| House: Atreides |
| Name: Paul Atreides |
| Abilities: Can greatly damage units or kill infantry. Sort of like Tanya from Red Alert. Accept uses a weirding module as a weapon. |
| Appearance: Similar to normal infantry but designed to look like Paul. |
| Other Info: Possibly is stronger depending on what level he is used on ie. weaker early on and stronger in later levels Use the mouse to command him to "attack" a sandworm and it will rise out of the sand and he will ride it. While on the worm commands to move will move the worm. Commands to attack will cause the worm to eat the target. Worm re-submerges and leaves completely after being killed or after a period of time. |
The Undoer

| Name: (unit) Undoer (Artillery Tank) |
| Abilities: 1) Moves VERY SLOWLY (the slowest tank) 2) Has VERY HEAVY ARMOUR 3) Has an extended line-of-sight 4) Very expensive This tank fires shells that can travell half of the map and land into the enemy's units. Each shell cleans up a building, but this tank is terribly inaccurate in close-distances, and the fire rate is incredible slow. |
| Appearance: A golden body with spikes protruding from it side. A huge barrel connected to the body via a turntable-like device. This unit should be double the size of a normal tank. |
| Other Info: This unit is able to self-destruct, which triggers a chain explosion of its depleted-uranium shells that will clear off anything within view. |
