What Dune should have . . .

[Guest Dagomar]

Dune 2000 should have the units seen in the actual books:

Crushers ( large ships that split into several sections and fall upon a base, or in the game a couple buildings, crushing them ), Monitors ( massive ships with powerful weapons ), Space Frigates ( not just owned by the Guide, also warships, titanic craft as long as some of the smaller sandworms ). These vessels are all described when the Harkonnens attack the Atreides in book one and later the Emperor, along with a number of other Houses, land at the end of the book and are crushed by the God-like Paul Atreides.

Also, there should be shields, Lasguns on some units, and swords for the infantry, as there are in the book. Rockets were only used at the very end by the Fremen as shock weapons, Artillerly was only used once, then never again, and that for the first time in 8000 years. And guns were probably as ancient history to the citizens of the Imperium as bone clubs are to us today.

Oh well, Dune is still cool.
