Vernius Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Vernius you liked the prequel more than the original Dune Chronicles......but to each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernius Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 hmmmm......not written by Herbert,does it count then? Is this "Ency" availble on download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 It available online, but n very poor quality with many msitakes, and a huge amount of memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gryphon Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The Dune Cornocopia it's called. They haven't decided whether or not to publish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Yeah but if it is as unconsistent as the prequels............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darandtar Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Don't forget the guy with the rosegarden ;DIt's speculated that he and his "wife" are fasedancers, even able to reproduce themselfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccp7x Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darandtar Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 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 Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 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 Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 House Atreides was interestinng as it gave a good background story on the sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 It does give a background, but I don't know if it is the "good" background in all cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1g1t4lER Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 IMHO God-Emperor is a bit overloaded with phylosophy. I like Heretics. It's almost as dynamic as Dune. Don't you like Myles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
