Emperor: Battle for Dune Interview

Langsam wird es so richtig warm um das neue Westwoodspiel, jedenfalls gibt es jetzt bei GA-Strategy ein weiteres Interview (engl). Das Spiel wird wie gehabt Strategie pur geben, jedoch diesmal in 3D!

Tell us about some of the new units your bringing to this title over past Dune games, and which are your favorites thus far?

The three great houses of Dune 2000 have returned in Emperor: the brutal and industrial House Harkonnen; the noble House Atreidies and the insidious House Ordos. Aside from playing any of the three great houses, you can forge alliances with two of the five brand-new sub-houses we’ve created. These include the native Fremen, the space-faring Guild, the high-tech Ix, the terror-troops of the Imperial Sardaukar, and the bio-tech Bene Tleilaxu.

Instead of relying on the units and technology we’ve used in the past, we’ve really concentrated on creating new and unique units for each house. Each of the three houses has 12 buildings, five to seven infantry, and five to seven vehicles. Additionally, the five sub-houses have their own technologies that you can use if you gain their allegiance.
