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.
On its age, this is one of the best RTS i've ever played. The only par for this one is starcraft. When other game still rely on the 2D game, this game dare to try to make a breakthrough by sending 3D game. Though the 3D still was not as good as now, but the experience on playing RTS while you can turn around your camera, seeing from different point of view lively and freely (not the changing perspective like other game that just let the game replace the debris and item so its look like we move to different location that actually is not), its like we're there... 3 dimensional world :P
