I was making a mod that had similar goals to his mod. Like Doubling the health of all buildings, reducing infantry speed by 50%, removing free carryalls and harvesters forcing you to buy them, and making most vehicles have more realistic turning speeds. The mod is on a fried hard drive though so I might have to re make it.

Anybody been playing coop?

BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU! This reminded me of a mod I've been working on Emperor. I have to recover it from my old hard drive. Luckily it's not too complicated so if I can't recover it I can just remake it.

I've given it all lots of thought. They're all about control, power, but almost no one knows just how much control they have, as they're very secretive. I would imagine they have operatives in every major House I think that they would have only supported the old Emperor if they could somehow benefit from doing so; they're all about benefits. They are one of the most likely Houses to have survived with their power status during the Jihad, but they could have easily been conquered instead. And somebody once said that the Ordos were mentioned in a Dune book. Apparently, some people ran into a couple Ordos members in a cave, probably on Dune. They're definitely not mentioned in the first Dune book at all.

I dunno man, I really don't think I should read it, because I hate inconsistancies with the original, true canon.

Yeah, that would be pretty boring. You'd definitely have to change the events told just significantly enough.

I just read that part yesterday, and now I remember the Atreides are hardcore. Good quotage.

This is exactly what I had in mind. It's why I posted those questions in my topic 'Obscure Questions Regarding Dune'.

Thank you very much. This will help me in making sure my story is true to the source. I LOVE SPOILERS! I love knowing everything. Spoilers are knowledge and knowledge is power.

1. Why exactly did the Emperor want to place House Atreides in power on Arrakis? Why did he work with the Harkonnens? Because of their wealth and/or of their voilent and fuedal history with the Atreides? Did the Emperor use the Harkonnens simply as cover? 2. I want to confirm if or if not the Duke Leto Atreides had any brothers, sisiters, or cousins. Will the online Dune encyclopedia have all the info I need? 3. What was House Harkonnen's impact on Leto & Jessica's time of power over Caladan, and during Paul's early life? 4. What is the length of time filling the gap inbetween House Harkonnen's departure from and House Atreides' arrival to Arrakis? 5. How many of the Atreides people leave Caladan for Arrakis? All or some; alot, or alittle; half, or what? 6. Based on House Atreides' technology during before and after the fief on Dune, was there ever a chance of them actually developing sonic based weaponry? Or is the only reasonable way for them to aquire such weaponry is to buy them from House Ix?

Anyone know of any official or fan fiction for Ordos? If someone rewrote Dune, changing nothing, but adding in House Ordos, I would definitely read it. ;D

GREAT FU CKING MOTHER! - - - I noticed Paul of Dune at my local library. Looking at it, I thought, you know what? The last time I read my copy of Dune (the reprinted one with the black background and white strip at the top left with a top down picture of 3 people likely traversing the sands on Dune) was like 4 years ago. Now that I'm older, I knew that if I read it again, I'd appreciate science fiction's supreme masterpiece in it's totality; I knew I'd catch everything, understand and connect with everything. I started the epic story a day ago, by reading the stuff in the back first, and as of today am now at part two. It's... fascinating. Back to the library, I thought, what the hell? I'll get this book, as it's basically a prequel to Dune Messiah (please, please, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong), or a sequel to Dune, but written by Frank's son and some other guy. So I'll get this book and read it after I read Dune; chronologically it should be read after Dune, before Dune Messiah, right? - - - I visited this site today looking for Dune 2000 downloads, such as patches, mods, editors, anything. I read some cool stuff; it seems that D2K modding is far from dead. That's great! As a side note: if anyone has a High Res patch (I read someone was working on one), please link it. As I'm browsing the rest of the forums, I come across this thread... my dash... this book sounds terrible. I don't think I'm going to read it. Seems like a waste of time. YOU DON'T F UCK WITH MUAD'DIB! You don't f uck with the ultimate human.

DOES ONE EXSIST? Is it even possible to modify this game to show how the battle for Dune actually happened? You know: infantry had personal shields, used knives and swords and lasguns and really cool assasin weapons. I'm pretty sure tanks and walkers were never mentioned in Dune, though artillery was, but that was a special case scenario. And there needs to be more ornithopter variants, like troop carriers. The Ordos can stay; they're pretty cool. Sorry to get your hopes up if you thought I was releasing a mod. So does anyone know of a mod that aims to recreate E:BfD into, well, Dune?

Damn.

You know what would be awsome? Melee combat. You could stay true to the Dune novels and add sword fights, with personal energy shields. You'd either be in cover, shooting everything that moves, or have your shields up and charge the enemy to slice him in two. Balancing would be an issue. The Holtzmen effect, it would be commical to witness it happen in game, lol.
