lowzeewee Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 The best would be Dune 2000 because its also about dune.WC3 also has a good storyline,3D graphics[though not as good] and it is a RTS game too but it is swords,arrows,etc.Generals would also be good... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Thanks.I've also ran out of Dune 2000, before Emperor, and i'm looking for sci-fi kind of story.I've tried Empire earth and Earth 2150 and although Empire Earth is pretty good none of them compare to Emperor, IMO.Any other sugestion are appreciated.It would have been great if we could play Dune Generations. :'(:) Thankspr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_ghola Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Is it just me or does dune 2k feel like it has more of that dune quality than emperor? when i played dune 2k i was more addicted to it than when i played emperor, i also think the soundtrack of dune2k fit the game perfectly, emperors soundtrack was good, it described the houses but there was not much of that dune quality in it. i know this is off topic but i wanted to add this and didnt want create an extra topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkdawg Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Wut i like about Dune2k is that u make huges armys $hitlodas o' tanks and stuff, and troopers. I like those massive battles, everyone having 2-3 expos, like a friggin empire. In emp u can win with 1 lazer tank ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowzeewee Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 i'm looking for sci-fi kind of story.Try Starcraft.It is sci-fi.Or you can also try Star Trek[wait,are there ST games?].But their storylines are very different from that of Empy,but still worth a try. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkdawg Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 The thing with mods is that ure only one having the mod, u cant find another player with the mod, not mention playing it all the time instead of regular. So u see i could try the mod but ill end up playing it single player .... wich i dont want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I stopped because of lack of time. Plus, I couldn't get a combat tank with a proper rotating turret. Believe it or not, Emperor has no tanks with rotating turrets. Barrels can be made to rotate, but without the turret, it just looks silly.

Apollyon Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Laser tank. I guess that doesn't really look much like the combat tank though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShadow Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 [yet another off topic]Just to say that is nice to see another portuguese posting on this forum ;D[back on topic]A sci-fi RTS, so good to be considered a substitute for Emperor? Hum... When you find it, tell me about it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneo227 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 hello all... just joined, first post...along the alternative lines, i know it's not sci-fi, but Total War has got some good stuff going on... i've played "Shogun: Total War" in and out, and have to say it is a truly magnificent piece of work... quite different from any Dune game, but loaded with historical relevance, tons of background info, and really nice battlefield graphics... "Medieval: Total War" is the latest, soon to be followed by "Rome: Total War"... i'm not that familiar with Medieval, but i can't recommend Shogun highly enough...interestingly, i see a common thread between Dune 2K > Emperor and Shogun > Medieval... in both cases, the newer games (Medieval and Emperor) *look* better (better 3D, better graphics in general), but both seem to have lost a "little something" in the process... i agree with Duncan_Ghola to this end; Dune 2K seemed to have more of that "Dune feel" to it than Emperor, even though Emperor is leaps and bounds above its predecessor in almost every other aspect... imagine Dune 2K with the graphics of Emperor; now that would be one helluva game!regards,Maneo227BTW: Duncan_Ghola, your sig has been killing me... it's Soundgarden isn't it? maybe from "Down on the Upside"? just curious...

lowzeewee Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Believe it or not, Emperor has no tanks with rotating turrets. Laser tank,mongoose and deviator... ;) Barrels can be made to rotate, but without the turret, it just looks silly.Wow!You want a really realistic game?OMG!You are becoming just as serious as nav!J/K. :DSince you are into sci-fi RTS,I reccomend Starcraft. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollyon Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I found Dune 2k incredibly dull and unimaginitive. I mean it even used the red alert infantry sprites. Must have taken Westwood a good few hours to make. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
