Emperor: Battle for Dune represents the seamless combination of cutting-edge 3D graphics and perfected real-time strategy gameplay. In your conquest for the Imperial Throne in the gripping universe of Dune, choose from three unique sides and five powerful subgroups to plot a perilous course through up to five treacherous game worlds. In both single-player and multiplayer modes, lead your forces in both large-scale planetary strategies and cunning ground-level tactics.

Westwood says it has more realistic AI, in that when you start out, the computer knows nothing about land it cannot see, which is a nice change.

This was one of the few games that made use of hardware texture and lighting when it came out. It was absolutely gorgeous. Come to think of it, the infantry models and (lack of) details remind me of C&C generals.

It is modable, there is a mod called Shai-Hulud. Just google for it. It changes the atreides to fremen, new units and so on. Haven't tried it yet, but seems interesting though..

Indeed. This was a good and interesting game. I always loved how the SP was organized with the map of Arrakis made into a war operations map where you could see the enemy's troop movement, plan your own assaults, move your armies on the map and decide what enemy to strike first. Kind of like RoN meets Westwood's Dune universe. The only thing I didn't like is the lack of your average Westwood win/loose CG movies (which we could see in C&C1 and C&C2 if I remember correctly) for missions that weren't followed by a FMV.
The only thing I'm wandering is why has this game been placed on moddb ? As far as I know, Westwood never released any kind of editors for this game. Basically, without reverse-engineering, this game is UN-modable.

Still have the original copy. Love every second of it, too. Its also a testiment to product durability back in the day; what, with the giant scratch on the CD and all.
