Dunenewt interviews...Fritz, creator of a Dune mod for Generals/Zero Hour

[Dunenewt]

Dunenewt:Will your mod be a Dune II clone, or just based on it?

Fritz:See, in fact it will be 'inspired' to some extent by the Dune 2 game. But I will take enormous liberties. For now I plan two sides. The one will be more or less like the Harkonnen, although I'll try to think of another name. It'll have the Dune2 style units (Quad, Combat, Siege, Rocket and Devastator tank) and a few others. The other side though will be much different and I'm afraid won't look much like anything from Dune2. It will use a lot of stealth, lots of specialised infantry, high-tech stuff, much aviation, for the price of more brittle land units and structures. I think I will keep the economics the same (spice + harvesters) although the two sides will gather

resources in different ways. Also the general desert / rock environment will be the same.

So altogether it won't really be a Dune2 clone

I'll definitely be sticking with emperor.

[Dunenewt]

[Apollyon]

Not bad, but it's mostly the textures that make them as good as they do.

[Dunenewt]

He's modifying the devastator in that mod for his Dune mod i think.
