Widely considered one of the greatest works within the sci-fi genre, Dune has been the subject of various film and TV adaptations, including an upcoming major motion picture slated for release in fall 2021. At first it all looked fine, but then I noticed I can only play as the Atreides and there are only the first three missions available (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 3a).

To install the mission, simply place 2 of the files above in the missions folder of Dune 2000. Dune is a landmark science fiction novel first published in 1965 and the first in a 6-book saga penned by author Frank Herbert. I installed OpenRA release 20160508 and had it copy the Dune 2000 files from the CD. That way, you can select Harkonnen mission 8 version 2 and you won’t need to replace any existing mission, as there is no H8V2 (not even in custom-made missions).ī) H8V1.map and _H8V1.mis – in case you don’t have the Mission Select Mod, you can paste these 2 then load up Harkonnen Mission 8.

zip file contains 4 files, but only 2 are needed to play the mission.Ī) there are H8V2.map and _H8V2.mis, you can use these 2 if you have the Mission Select mod. If you manage to capture those before the AI destroys them (AI is set to neutral to these as well, but it can turn hostile at any time) then you will be able to build those goodies, but I personally don’t recommend making a primary objective of this, let it for later when you already have a steady cash flow and impressive army. If you have a look, they are an Atreides High tech Factory (for airstrike) and an Atreides Heavy Factory (for sonic tanks).
The closest expansion spot to you (top right) has a few neutral structures, lightly defended, that can be captured.
The AI is expanded to 4 spots, the bottom ones + the middle expansion, but there are 3 spots where you can expand without having to destroy enemy bases (expansion will be needed later as you’ll run out of spice without). You have decent starting units + some reinforcements early in the game, but thats all the free firepower you are going to get, so use it wisely as an initial defence until you manage to build up enough units. Missions can be played from the perspective of three races, the noble Atreides, the insidious Ordos, or the treacherous Harkonnen. You also have some gun turrets to help you out, but they won’t do magic so you’d better prepare an army quick. You start off with 3 Wind Traps, 1 Barracks and 1 Construction Yard on top middle (Habbanya Erg starting spot). Feel free to use the different difficulty settings to suit your tastes. I had lots of trouble with it on medium and probably wouldn’t be able to pass it on hard. The AI is pretty challenging, you will find yourself overwhelmed by masses of units. This is a challenging Skirmish (Multiplayer Practice) style mission, but working as a campaign mission – so more like a scenario. Mod Type: New Campaign Mission (Harkonnen)
