This mod based on Frank Herbert's epic Dune saga, features a struggle to control one planet - Dune, Arrakis, a barren desert wasteland which is valuable for one thing only - the spice melange. The spice has the universe addicted to it; it extends life, it allows for the Navigators of the the Spacing Guild to fold space, travel from one point in space to another without moving, it is the basis for the economy and trade of the known universe. The spice is created by Sand Worms, giant creatures that live their whole life in the sand. The mysterious Fremen worship the worms as Shai-Hulud, the Great Makers. Dune Wars is a total conversion of Civilization 4 : Beyond the Sword. Features include: + 9 playable factions + Spice and Harvesters + Massive sandworms roam the desert + Pay the guild to transport troops from your homeworld + Water, Offworld Trade, Unique Civ Abilities, Terraforming and more... Are you ready to become the sole ruler of Dune, and in turn, control the universe?

Great mod. Thank you. One question: I could not find any way of building spies. Is this a glitch or is there a tech unlocking spies? Thanks.

Me again. I did find the answer to my question (I was running House Atreides, which doesn't have a spy unit). Thanks again for a great mod. It's spot-on as regards look and feel. Everything seems to be running perfectly, from start to end. BH.

I installed Dune Wars: Revival 1.10 earlier this week on Steam & also the Villeneuve's Inspired Patch. that i mentioned few days ago Nov 3rd 6020. I guess i placed Villeneuve Inspired Patch to right location. Met a problem when reading the install instructions at readme file: "3. If you want the new Font to work in game then install the "Font file MontserratAlternates-ExtraLight.otf from Dune Wars Revival/Resource/Fonts into your Windows Fonts" That is mentioned here: Forums.civfanatics.com Good that question was solved via reply on that page ^^. "Where is that "Windows Fonts" folder" :) Pst: Amazon Prime Sub is 110% worth it cause of many benefits & not to forget the budget friendly access to Amazon Prime's Streaming Library.

Howdies.

I've been Arrakis fan for 27 years. Got introduced into beautiful Dune / Arrakis Univ. via golden Amiga 600 27y ago. Then some years later Bought first Dune Book Trilogy around late -90's. On past couple years same again & new ones as ebooks via Amazon.co.uk <3 I sometimes pay even if some books would come without cost cause of being Amazon Prime Subber. I do it to give extra support for authors. Excited for upcoming 'Duke of Caladan' book & gotta buy to myself the Dune Graphic Novel as Winter Solstice holidays gift. Now to Question:

Why keep getting this even launched Civ IV & Civ IV Beyond the Sword to create registry for both :( So autom. installation not working ? Have to follow the steps that were written here in Moddb page's comments ? Found install instructions only that way (Currently written on page 4 if recall) & then created own rtf file where copy pasted them. Imgur.com 2nd question: Is this nice Patch from October 8th included to one available here in great Moddb. Forums.civfanatics.com ? If not then hope it be added here <3

UPDATE: Tried the manual installation that's written in readme file.
Ok Button is Greyed out after selected Mods folder under the BTS Folder. I even tried to create new one as Dune Wars, w no luck :( Imgur.com
2nd UPDATE: Got it installed weehee. Many BTS & Mods folders while browsing the list when installing Mod is confusing. Got it placed to right one. I Hope that don't need to go through advanced -> mods & so on each time when launch CIV IV: Beyond the Sword. Now to add that Villeneuve's Patch that i wrote about on 2nd Section ^^

Good November & rest of the year to Dune Wars: Revival Devs & Arrakis fans o/
Kindly: Fedaygin (Y not Fedaykin cause of not so brave as they are)

I bring big big biggest Thank You to creator of this mod as one of big fans. Thank You. This just a best and biggest adaptation of Duneverse ideas into game. Thank You. Best wishes, best regards. I just have no enough words to express how much i like this mod.

I'm having a problem loading saved games in Dune Wars v. 1.10. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have CivIV BTS from Steam.
The downloader keeps saying it doesn't recognize the BtS.exe file.
Is there any help you can offer?

Your best bet is to manually install using the ZIP file version. Just unzip and copy to your mods folder: Moddb.com
