Dunenewt Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Have you introduced anyone else to this game? I introduced my girlfriend to the game the other day, and just a minute ago she finally beat a easy defensive AI in a skirmish. She's getting really in to it, but refuses to listen to any advice I give her, such as building so many light infantry is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've introduced it to a friend of mine many years ago. I wonder if he's still lurking around the forums... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I doubt my girlfriend will be joining these forums, although she does glance over my shoulder occasionally to see what I'm writing. All I can hear right now is her Fremen being slaughtered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Is she the gamer sort?My friend got pretty obsessed with the game, far more than I was. That's saying a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 She wasn't the gamer sort, but she's playing through the Harkonnen campaign now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mordusxxx Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Actually i got my 8 yr old cousin to play i told him what each unit and building did. After that i put it on hard fishers max ai and let him go. He tried three times before he owned the comp. I guess if i would of had someone like me or someone with the patience to teach i would of caught on fast too. Next i will show him the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm quite impressed with how she's doing now. She's about half way through the Harkonnen campaign. The Harkonnens are a strange choice for a girl though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff2429 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Tried to get a friend to play it once. He kept my Ordos disk to play with at his house and lets just say, I never saw that disk again. >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savageman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i've never played Emperor:Battle for Dunei've only played dune 2000 ... could anyone tell me if it's similar maybe lead me to some screenshots of game play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 It features Ordos, Atreides, and Harkonnen, but it is quite different, and all houses have individual units. If you want screenshots, check out this section of our site:http://dune2k.com/Duniverse/Games/Emperor/Screenshots/Gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't forget to check out the Emperor Tournament if you choose to buy the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savageman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 is this abandonware or is it new enough to still be in major retail stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Try e-Bay, that's probably the easiest way. Or send an IM to $picy, he knows an easy way to buy the game apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savageman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 when was the game released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 In 2001, but I wouldn't class it as abandonware just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
