Westwood Studios finally announced that they're working on a new Dune RTS, called Emperor: Battle for Dune. It will be a 3D RTS game, unlike my idea which is for a 2D voxel game. But it doesn't matter, since this is only a fictional "game". I'm just trying to express my thoughts. Of course there won't be a Dune game like this, but it's fun to think "what if". Here's a short list of the basic things Emperor MUST have:

• Full 3D terrain (also deformable if possible)
• Completely different houses (nothing the same)
• Loads more units and buildings, including controlable aircraft
• More dynamical single player campaigns, with heroes
• More multiplayer game options
• An internet-hosted tournament

Westwood has it's own ideas and they'll never give them up. But this article will give them some very useful suggestions. So, here are the article's sections:

» The interface and game concepts
» Arrakis environment and terrain
» Atreides units, buildings and other features
» Ordos units, buildings and other features
» Harkonnen units, buildings and other features
» Imperial units, buildings and other features
» Smuggler units, buildings and other features
» Bene Gesserit units, buildings and other features
