New Interview

[Gobalopper]

The Command Center has gotten some more information from Westwood. Below are the questions he got answered:

1) How long will it take for the harvesters to take a full load of spice?

I am not sure, the game is still being tweaked.

2) Will all houses have the ornithopter in multiplayer?

No, the building tree will be the same as single player.

3) Any future plans for an expansion pack?

Stay tuned...

4) Can the saboteur be controllable? Will it only take out one building, or many?

He is controllable. One building at a time.

5) How many mission will there be for each house?

15-17 missions per side

6) What units will be able to take down air units?

Missle Tanks and Rocket Turrets.

7) How does the thumper work in the game?How do you set it to either draw or withdraw a sandworm?

You just send the thumper out. When hes standing still, you click on him and he thumps. Click on him again to stop.

Well we mainly got reassurances on some of the features. The biggest was the control of the Saboteur and Thumper Infantry. Another thing is the Ornithopter control, only House Atreides will be able to purchase the Ornithopter. This could be a problem but most likely Westwood has done play balancing to fix the advantage. The missions have also been confirmed again, there will 15-17 per side, compared with the 9 we previous thought there would be!
