Set in the Dune universe, this free indie game turnes Emperor: Battle For Dune into a First/Third Person Shooter. More features are on the way, such as depleteable spice fields, capturable buildings and explorable vehicles.
Background
The Emperor is dead. The Guild has taken over the Spice production on Arrakis untill another great House claims it, three Houses remain after the long fighting on Arrakis. The noble Atreides, The evil Harkonnen and the insidious Ordos. All three houses are after control of Arrakis, for control of the Spice, for control of the Universe.
Houses
Atreides
From the water world Caladan. The Atreides are a rightous and noble people, only doing what they can for good.
Harkonnen
From the industrial wasteland Giedi Prime. The Harkonnen are cruel yet cunning, with leaders and officers being killed by their followers to gain rank, making them harden soldiers.
Ordos
From the ice planet Sigma Draconis IV. The Ordos are a mercantile house, only after profit. Investing in cloning troops and shield technology on their tanks so they don't have to spend more money buying extra units.
Buildings
Base Defences
Atreides: Machinegun Post, Rocket Turret
Harkonnen: Flame Turret, Gun Turret
Ordos: Gas Turret, Pop-up Turret
Refineries

Each House has a Barracks for infantry production. In these structures you can refill your ammo and health and purchase higher characters with more health and better weapons.

Hello and welcome to Battle for Dune: War of Assassins blog 116! We have been fairly busy with the holidays and working on our latest internal build.. And some of what's down below!
Walls
I have modelled up the walls, currently untextured. Walls are the best defence against outside enemies, protecting your base and keeping people out! Each house will have the same designed walls, made out of Plassteel and a Plascrete foundation.

Atreides Advanced Rifle
Venom775 has finished modelling and texturing the Atreides Light Infantry rifle. This is a much more advanced version than the Engineer's model, it deals more damage, has a longer range and is slightly more accurate!
All Atreides Light Infantry will be equipped with this rifle.
Tleilaxu Leech and Larvae
Methelina has been busy modelling and texturing the Tleilaxu Leech and Larva!
The Tleilaxu Leech is a biotank that attacks other vehicles by laying it's larvae on and into the vehicle. Once the vehicle's health has been reduced to zero, it will then spawn into a new Leech! The Tleilaxu have engineered them this biotank to travel fast across most terrain, at a cost of very weak armour.
The Larva is a small creature that will be layed onto of an enemy vehicle. Then it will start to work it's way inside it, slowly reducing the vehicle armour and health. The only way to prevent this happening is by shooting it off or repairing it via a repair vehicle.
Neither of these units will be in our first release, due to being subhouse units.
Atreides APC
Venom775 has been busy modelling and texturing our new Atreides APC. After much talk, we decided to completely remake the the APC due to the older model just not looking like the fully detailed version in the Tlielaxu & Ix cutscene.
So Venom has come up our with this! The Atreides APC is a medium armoured cloaked transport vehicle, which travels at a fairly fast speed. It can carry up to 5 troops at once, including the driver and is equipped with a Anti Infantry Flak Cannon.

Finally an update.....
Yeah we're sorry for the lack of updates, we are currently redoing some of our vehicles and working on a new internal build. Holidays just slowed us down abit, that's all!
Is there anything i can do to contribute? I have some experience in texture making, and would love to see this mod come to light!
What kind of texture making can you do? If you could pop by our forums at www.battlefordune.eu/forums and show us some of your latest work!
hi love what ya doing ... looks awesome :)
1 Question ... have you managed to get a 3rd faction in or will it be just be a 2 faction game / maps ?
Hey, thanks for the comment.
And it will be only 2 Houses per map, we weren't able to get 3 Houses at the same time. But you will still be able to play as all 3 Great Houses.
How about making a map that has an AI controlling the third house? Player chose either Atreides or Harkonnen while AI controls the entire Ordos.
That is a nice idea, but at the moment the engine doesn't really handle AI that well online. It causes some major lag issues.
As SighNapse said, all of our stuff is made from sratch. We are working with another project called SCUD Storm which did as you suggested and we weren't too keen on that approach.
Nice!!
