Dune II: The Maker

A remake of the classic Dune 2 - The Building of a Dynasty (by Westwood Studios) with several enhancements. Like: higher screenresolutions, zooming, multiselect, skirmish play, etc.

Dune II : The Maker is very similar to the original Dune II. It grabbed the original graphics and sounds, but graphics have been enhanced a little, especially explosions. It adds a modern interface, including multiple unit selection and a building system with a sidebar, similar to that of Command & Conquer and Dune 2000. Gameplay was edited and balanced by tuning the damage capabilities of unit types against each other; infantry for example was made more useful than in the original game. An experience system was added, raising units attack strength as they score more kills. The three original campaigns of Dune II are available, in English only. The new skirmish mode allows single-player battles with up to 4 competitors (even of the same house; enemies can also be Sardaukar), free for all or in teams, on random maps or on predesigned scenarios (many are included, more could be created by manually editing text files). Computer players in skirmishes have a full AI capable of creating a base from scratch, just like human players.
