Which Dune novel did you like the best?

[Vernius]

Vernius you liked the prequel more than the original Dune Chronicles......but to each his own.

[quoudam72]

Ok Vernius I can live with that but you are one of the first people I ever heard say they liked the prequel more than the Chronicles. Anyway welcome my Harkonnen fiend.

[Vernius]

wht ty :)

since i got you here now let me ask you something.

where the hell did the ordos came from?

Are they just a product of Westwood?

Why did they replace the Harkonnen Griffin with

the zodiac in the games? And why did they switch

colors? Atraides has black as uniform color and

not blue.

Maybe im missing something here?

[quoudam72]

Well Vernius you catch on quickly the Ordos actually came from the Dune Ency. (which had a limited publication and was not written by Frank Herbert), Westwood decided to add the Ordos to the RTS game I would guess to make it more interesting.

As far as the Hark gryphon insigna and the Atreides uniform color change someone else might be able to answer that question.

[Vernius]

hmmmm......not written by Herbert,does it count then?

Is this "Ency" availble on download?

[quoudam72]

Whether or not the Dune Encyclopedia is cannon is up for debate and sorry for the abbreviation (Ency.) Vernius it was confusing. As far as the Dune Encyclopedia being downloadable I do not know of it being in such form.

[Mahdi]

It available online, but n very poor quality with many msitakes, and a huge amount of memory.

[Vernius]

mmmmmm Dune Encyclopedia , nice idea though.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I liked the first and the fourth best. ::) ::)

[quoudam72]

Where is this download located at Mahdi I would like to see it myself?

[nampigai]

I couldn't find it on kazaa

[Vanguard3000]

Dune.  The first one, that is.  Piter rules.

[Mahdi]

I don't know where to get it, i never did.  I just know its out there.

[gryphon]

I understood that Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson made a lot of notes themselfs when they wrote the prequels to Dune. Could we somehow get our hands on them ?

[Mahdi]

The Dune Cornocopia it's called.  They haven't decided whether or not to publish it.

[quoudam72]

Yeah but if it is as unconsistent as the prequels............

[darandtar]

Chapterhouse Dune was perhaps the most frustration of the books because it answers many questions and yet asks so many more. Did the Golden Path forsee the Honoured Matres or was it set in motion to prepare the human race for their arrival? Was the scattering part of Letos plans? What happened to Idaho and the No-ship?

Will Teg return to battle or lead the combined BG and HM?

[gryphon]

Don't forget the guy with the rosegarden ;D

It's speculated that he and his "wife" are fasedancers, even able to reproduce themselfs.

[cccp7x]

Obviously the best Dune Chronicle is Dune...by the way the Atreides uniforms are red...I think...can't seem to remember...too much Spice beer at the New Year's Party...

[nampigai]

I've just finished reading Chapterhouse: Dune and one thing that caught my attention was that the BG now has Axlotl tanks, are they similar to the ones in the prequels.

[darandtar]

The tanks that the BG have in Chapterhouse were "donated" by their captive Scytale the last of the Tleilaxu. He was being held on the N0-ship with Murabella and Idaho to protect them from discovery by the Guild who had been usurped by the Honoured Matres.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

All Dune books are very very very good, but the first and God Emperor are the best...the first is the best, the bigest and tells how Paul became Emperor and House Atreides defeated Harkonnens.

[Dunenewt]

House Atreides was interestinng as it gave a good background story on the sides

[gryphon]

It does give a background, but I don't know if it is the "good" background in all cases.

[d1g1t4lER]

IMHO God-Emperor is a bit overloaded with phylosophy.

I like Heretics. It's almost as dynamic as Dune.

Don't you like Myles?
