I dont know

[DaxxXyrax]

I know its crazy, but can you play as Smugglers, Fremen, Mercenaries or Emperor?

[AMIgaBot]

no since  these are just subhouses --- no special unit..  you can have emperor infantry if u capture emperor palace

[Gruntlord6]

maybe if we edit the .mis files, we are going very slow with that though....

[AMIgaBot]

yes but atleas we got allies on skirmish in topic you can ally with ai.. this is now possible.. but we need have one neutral for  better atmosphere

[DaxxXyrax]

I think that Emperor is like Harkonnen, Smugglers and Mercenaries like Ordos and Fremen like Atreides.

I have 3 questions

1. - Why there are two Ordos subhouses?

2. - Why Fremen havent got any buildings except gun turrets?

3. - Why there are these subhouses?

[AMIgaBot]

i can make misson for you for atreides mission 4 and harkonnen 4 and fremen will be having huge base

2. i can make mercenary base very huge. i can use  multiplayer maps! for ordos missions i can transform habbanya erg shield wall funreal plain  for harkonnen ending missions  tenaya  imperial basin  thulirs point (or something)

for atreides  other XL maps.

what mission you want to have with big  base??

i will make for you special missions!

[DaxxXyrax]

Oh thank you. Please make any with huge Fremen base. ;D

And I have qustion : What is Habbanya?  and What is Ixian?

[MrFlibble]

Habbanya Ridge is a place name of an area on Arrakis.

Ixian is pertaining to Ix, the industrial confederacy in Dune universe that produced all kinds of technology used in the Imperium.

[AMIgaBot]

what mission u want. example ordos mission 2

[DaxxXyrax]

Harkonnen mission 4.

And question :

Harkonnen - Ram

Atreides - Eagle

Ordos - Snake

Emperor - Lion?? (according to Atreides briefing movie before battle 7)

Smugglers - What?

Mercenaries - What?

Fremen - What?

[AMIgaBot]

i belive that  mercenary has a wolf  smuggler three dots in triangle and the fremens had a water

[DaxxXyrax]

How do you know?

And thanks.

P.s. - how can i change the speed and power and etc.?

can i change the names of units?

[AMIgaBot]

use tibed program

[DaxxXyrax]

Thanks again.

And how do you know the symbols for sub-houses?

[AMIgaBot]

fremens did use water as that was their life they take water from dead fremens,a also from sandworms.

mercenaries are hired guys they fight for money. that why wolf

smugglers are stealing spice. they dont engage conflicts and they powerup choam  that why three dots in triangle

[ophiruslevus]

hi DaxxXyrax, the many questions you ask imply to me you are not aware of the book "dune" by Frank Herbert. many of the answers to your questions are there, simply because the game is based on the book itself. i stronly belive that above 90% of this site have read it, and i reccomend it myself.

[Gruntlord6]

ordos has 2 subhouses because it was a house invented by Westwood and not used by the official dune novels.

[MrFlibble]

What do you mean by "two subhouses"? ???

[AMIgaBot]

SMUGGLERS WERE IN DUNE NOVELS. ALSO IN DUNE MOVIE.  MERCENARIES ARE JUST  MADE UP LIKE ORDOS. but wait. if smugglers are kind of ordos then......... oww  well some kind of ordo then was in novels and movie. ha!

[MrFlibble]

I don't get your point. House Ordos, the mercenaries and the smugglers are all three absolutely separate factions - it is only that the design of the in-game buildings looks identical (although the mercenaries have a separate Heavy Factory graphics). As for the mercenaries being absent from the book, that's just nonsense. Mercenaries of various types were hired by Harkonnens and other factions.

At any rate, the mercenaries and the smugglers are not sub-houses in any sense. In fact, I don't know of any sense of "sub-houses" that makes sense besides the one used in EBfD, which is an optional minor faction you can ally with to get unique units; nothing like that is available in Dune2k.

[AMIgaBot]

they look like subhouse by using the same bulding types. 

[Gruntlord6]

they look like subhouse by using the same bulding types. 

and unit types, they lack unique units, and only have one unique building, which functions the same.

[AMIgaBot]

that why dune2000 is so crap... also somewhere i saw  a screenshot where on dune map was a pickup truck from command conquer red alert 1.

Probably can be imported to dune.

[AMIgaBot]

thing is that  we cant. maybe  hex editing can do trick. but then we must edit data.r16 and data.r8 files
