Mahdi Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Atreides with mroe votes than Harkonnen? that doesn't seem right. The Harkonnens hold more fiefs, have more money, have a larger population, have CHOAM directorships. The only thing the Atreides really ahve is the fact that they are blood related tot he emperor.

Mahdi Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Ahh but the atriedes are older then house harkonnen. they are one of the first founded houses under the emperorYeah, but the criteria for votes as listed earlier in this thread does not include age.

Alexander_Ordos Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Where from did you get the fact that Atreides are older than Harkos? Both took place in the Bjihad...Who knows why westwood took Ordos ::) I think they liked it's name - ( Ordos - Orda - The golden ords of Genghis Khan...) Anyway westwood could add much more Houses ( The lack of fantasy...) like in the Cossacks... ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Alexander, Atreides was supposed to be able to trace it's roots back to the battle of Troy. According to BH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 and Mahdi I honestly dont know why the harkonnan have less votes in the DE. THe only other reason for this maybe is because of their cowardly acts in the battle of corrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormwatch Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I dont know exactly why, that was the question i submitted to ask joe bostic. But recently i learnedthat in the dune encyclopedia (a 3rd party book) there is a list of the houses of the landsraad and ordos is in there. Brian and frank herbert dont use the book as a reference instead using their own personal notes.And now for something completly different! according to the new dune prequel series the atreides were extremly loyal to the corrino family fighting along side them of the battle of corrin (when the corrinos became imperial) at this battle the harkonnen were considered traitors. what i dont understand is that the harkonnen are a member of the houses major and atreides are minor...I guess nice guys finish last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander_Ordos Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Have ever read about the batle of corrin in Dune III Mush? - When the fleet of the Landsraad lost it's conection because of the solar storm, Harko leader (with no orders) moved his fleet into a safer position behind the Atreides and the Atreides leader (with no orders) along with the Corrino moved his frigates into the direct atack and they won... Why are the harkos cowards? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobdouds Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 If Minors don't rule a Planet. What happened to Atreides and Caladan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Atreides is a major house, and rule caladan. the Harkonnen have several minor houses under them Rautha is one of them. Obviusly Atreides may have minor houses under them to but I really don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Thank you for clearing that up NaMpIgAi. Someone up the page said Atreides was house Minor, so I got confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Atreides is a major house, and rule caladan. the Harkonnen have several minor houses under them Rautha is one of them. Rautha isn't a house, it's part of the first name of Feyd-Rautha ;) his name is Feyd-Rautha Rabban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander_Ordos Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 When you open the section "factions" in Dune III Mush and then select Harko handbook you'll find the description of the Battle of Corrin though it has no conection with the books ;) ( Don't believe into Mush myself lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
