Dune Emperor

[sandcrawler]

Remember Westwood registered for dune-emperor.com and .net and .org. That may means that there is another house that we can play like House Corrino. Maybe the Emperor wants Arrakis back and you need to use the Emperor to fight with the three houses because all of them also want the Spice. It must got to do with the Emperor...

[Gobalopper]

Well Paul becomes Emperor so it could have something to do with that... It's hard to say since Westwood has used fairly similar story's in both Dune II and Dune 2000.

[mechadragon]

Logically, Dune 3000 should be slightly diferent. Perhaps a true sequel?

[sandcrawler]

Dune 2 and Dune 2000 was pretty close to the story but they made up Ordos...

[Edric O]

So? Everybody says they want more houses... now you say the ordos shouldn't be in there? Why? The more, the better. Besides, the ordos are the best! :) Power to the Cartel!

[Edric O]

Also, since the atreides have "middle" technology and the harks powerful but slow one, somebody had to have fast and sneaky tech.

[Guest shorty]

It sez in the d2k manuel that d2k is not a sequel but a remake, so of course the storys are going to be similar!

[sandcrawler]

They should subsitude Ordos with some house from the book. No one need to be fast and sneaky, maybe House Corrino which has a particular trait of their own.

[Edric O]

Hey! Do you have a problem with the ordos? Who cares about the novels? First of all, I think they suck, but even if they were the best ever they still don't have anything to do with the games. THE STORY FOR THE GAMES ISN'T FROM THE NOVELS!!!

So you say nobody needs to be fast and sneaky? Ha ha ha! That would out-balance the game! Besides, the ordos are a tradition. They're not in the novels, but they were in every Dune RTS. If any more Dune RTS games are going to be made, they HAVE to contain house Ordos.

Like Gobalopper said, the games are one thing, the novels are another. I agree that you should be able to play with house Corrino, but as a FOURTH house.

hey now!

watch what u say about the novels, lest i bury your base in the sand! =)

i loved the novels--and movie, and am excited about the mini series.

that is all

[Edric O]

Calm down! That is the mission. :) I was just talking to Sandcrawler. So I don't like the novels... but I don't have anything against them either. I was just saying that the novels have pretty much NOTHING to do with the games (except Dune1).

[sandcrawler]

Ok, OK, calm down Edric O. I'm not saying the Ordos are sucky and not good, besides it's my favorite house in Dune 2000. Maybe in Dune 3000, they would change it but for a high percentage, they would include Ordos, like the tradition of Dune rts games like you said. I don't want to have flames on a nice forum like this. Anyway, you have a cool website, keep up the good work.

[hellsmaw]

The problem with Dune is that there are ardly any houses mentioned in the books to make new houses for the game. Logically, they made house ordos to satisfy the need for another house. The only houses that were mentioned were the Atreidies, Harkonnen, Corrino, and Tlielaxu (is this a house?). Yes, Edric is right, the ordos were the only other choice rather than use on of the hardly mentioned houses.

[Edric O]

??? Now I'm confused. Sandcrawler, we were just flaming each other on the "Death to the Atreides!" topic. And now you say you like the ordos??? Anyway, I'm glad to hear that, even if it's a bit weird. I don't like flames either. Thanks, I will keep up the good work :)

[montego]

Death to all houses.

Hail House Montego!

[fremen59]

i think ANYONE brave enough to face the dangers on Arrakis should receive a medal. Be they Ordos or Atredies...or even the Harkonnen, anyone with enough guts to stare down the throat of a sandworm and continue fighting is a better man than i.

Just thought i'd say that.

[prosthetic_eye]

THE ORDOS ARE NOT FAKE!!!!!!!!!!! (just there background info)

[prosthetic_eye]

they should make a game where you can play as houses Wallach, Corrino, Alman, and more. (FACT: the ordos's insignia is house wallach's insignia:)

[garth]

I think these houses are mentioned in the book:

Atreides

Harkonnen

Corrino

Ginaz

Moritani

Tleilaxu (kinda like a house, more like a society)

[duncan_idaho]

The houses of Vernuis (controllers of Ix, which is a planet) and house Richese are both mentioned in the Dune Prequel-House Atreides

[Mahdi]

they mentioned mroe than that.

[mechadragon]

The Bene Gesserit are not a house. They are more of a religous order.
