DUNE not hesitate to learn more about the game here - gsght.com/c/o0sm95 ! I've been very excited for this since it was first announced, and as it enters into early access, it's already showing a great degree of complexity, and some unique ideas. Let me know your thoughts down below, and if you have any questions, ask away, and I'll answer all I can!
Looks to be heavily inspired by the later stages of the ORIGINAL Dune game, the precursor to Dune2, which kicked off the entire RTS genre (command and conquer was based on it, and developed by the same people - even used same assets). In the original Dune game you played as Paul Atreides in a Dialogue based RPG, then as the game progressed it moved on to a Proto 4X or Proto RTS style of game. There was nothing really like it at the time and I think its fair to say that it was one of those ancient games that helped to define genres. Does it have a 'RPG' element as well like the original(or plans to)? Any plans for an RTS Dune 2 remake? How faithful to the books is it? Also any plans for a lets play series Party?
Honestly I was super hyped as well and already bought it, it is really more complex than I thought it would be and it is fun but I am worry of how the multiplayer will be. Being said that to play alone it is really nice and each faction really feels unique.
This looks like as if someone made a ground version of Stellaris but actually put effort in the audiovisual execution, and outsourced all the UI design to Amplitude Studios's Endless Space 2 team who are unparallelled in my opinion in creating a clean yet alive, extremely informative regarding complex contextual information yet simple looking interface designs, and then all of it was drenched in Command and Conquer: DUNE. Magnificent. If only I'd have time to play it, but I'm glad I can finish a single Total War campaign in 2-3 months... why can't Relic make a Dawn of War like this?
That's such a beautiful way to put it haha. The good news I can share is that games of Dune: Spice Wars last a handful of hours *at most* in the current early access state of the game. I don't know if the plan is to change that, but right now it's more about quick games rather than extremely long drawn-out playthroughs.
There is no other way to put it, except that it overcomes both Stellaris and ES2 in terms of tactics. I aimed for a domination win and assaulting the faction main base is no easy feat, even with an army of 6 elite units (the other army of 5 units i used for rapid response to raids, attacks and rebellions on other fronts). This means that you have to use politics and missions/operations to get the job done. Taking down the smuggler’s base required the Landsraad’s Architectural Renovation resolution to disable the base’s defenses, instigated a rebellion in their village accross the map, 3 supply drops, and 3 free Landsraad guards to soak up damage. The stars practically aligned for that assault.
Can get it for $25 on GMG redeemed via Steam still. *Northgard* was criminally underrated but the source material for a Dune themed game with the same gameplay mechanics but more 4X in depth features makes this strictly better. Glad Shiro Games made this looking forward to future content/factions as well for it. *Wartales* is also pretty good game by them FYI.
Just being Dune and more 4X oriented doesn't make it "strictly better". That's completely nonsense. Right now its "strictly worse" because it's in early access and has very little game play. Games are long, slow, and boring after the first 20 minutes. Also if you prefer RTS over 4X then you would prefer Northgard, it's subjective.
@@test-ml9wr I don't mean to diss Northgard (as you can see my logo being a Valknut that I clearly like norse and viking themed stuff) but I think the media franchise of DUNE and the over-used norse tropes in video game industry right now makes this game more appealing and interesting. They also changed the scope of Northgard adding in way more 4X features adding to the RTS stuff. This DUNE game is going to be something special when it's all said and done IMO. Also I hate RTS and enjoy turn based strategy generally so I could've done without real time strategy elements of this but I still play grand strategy titles like CK3 even though they are not turn based.
This was amazingly helpful. I wish I had known all this before I started my first game. But I was looking to learn how to improve relations with the Sietch, other than just trading water. Because I was trading with one and it dropped from 86 down to -20, even though I kept trading with it. And so, every so often I get attacked by a group of them. I was trying to get the attacks to stop and get the buff from being 100% relations.
Im sure that somehow, you attacked one of their raids that was not specifically aimed at your villages. Sometimes the Sietch spawns raids that target villages outside your borders but their path crossed one of your villages. You might have mistakenly attacked them, causing the relations drop. Best way to know if a raid is targeting your village is: 1: raid notification; 2: village under siege notification and 3: your militia actually leaving to defend the village. For increase relations with Sietches, there is an espionage operation/mission that stops a raiding party AND increase relations with a Sietch. Usually when you encounter a Sietch, your relations are at around -30ish but if you play as Fremen then it is always going to start at 0. My only complaint is that all of the best Sietches for my faction always spawn on the otherside of the map.
I'm getting strong Northgard vibes - the previous RTS from this studio - which is a good thing :) Swapping mythical Scandinavia for Sci-Fi Dune is certainly a 180 in terms of setting ;)
Great explanation of the dynamics of the game. I hope you make more videos regarding the specific factions. It's a dense game that needs to be broken down.
I've bought this game and it looks awesome but the learning curve seems too steep. Please make more videos going into depth explaining the nuances and paths to victory of each faction.
It reminds me of the board game in a lot of ways. You could be in 1st palce, and then the enemy takes advantage of a situation at just the right moment, and now you're in the middle again. Keeps you on your toes.
It's all about balance. I played on easy first few. Try expanding more slowly to keep your balance, as in let your resource totals build up before ruining your daily values. The green numbers are PER DAY
Nice tips for beginners, thank you. You help me a lot. I would like to give a tip for beginners: press the button "i" during the game and it will show basic information about cities.
Since Humankind I've been very sceptical about new 4x games... I'll wait a long time to try this one, specially if i sense it's just hyped on the new movie recent success.
Could always give a try through free means. I was skeptical after Humankind as well since that game had disappointed me quite a bit. So I downloaded it for free, and as an beginning EA build I found no significant issues and I've had a lot of fun. After 2 campaigns I decided to buy it.
Honestly I don't know how so many people didn't know humankind was garbage from the beginning. It was based on cultures rather than nations. That's what killed it. Exploit, Expand, Exchange, Exterminate. How do you do any of that with CULTURE of all things? I feel like humankind was just the dumb version of crusader Kings.
Your excellent video convinced me to buy this game, despite the fact that I'm not much of a RTS gamer. It seems manageable for this old fumble-fingered geezer.
It seems to be a very different sort of rts. With the limited units and complex resource management and politics, I can see how it might engage different skills from something like Command and Conquer.
@5:40 Scouting the village first is a bad idea, you should scout the other question mark first as that tells you what resource is on that tile. If its not what you need, then move on, rather than waste time taking a tile that wont help you.
I encounter a strange feature when my Intel does not go up even if I have +42 production, happened to me in quite some games, any idea on what i'm missing ?
Enjoying it very much. The AI is good. It uses some tough strategies. I still cant work out trading though. Great game. Tough as well, just how I like it.
Truly outstanding video with clear overview of the games mechanics and therefore going into a save folder, now just need you to fill that folder with more detailed videos on each mechanic lol ;) {This Digital Access Games REALLY needs to have a good Manual come with it lol} Like & Sub
Yeah haha - I'm all over this! I'm planning on a bit more of an "overview" / "preview" style video as well, if folks are interested. Overall, been having a blast. It plays differently from what I expected initially (not saying that in a negative way), and I was pleasantly surprised by the approach!
Haha artistic liberties I guess. It looks quite striking against the yellow/orange - they're strong contrasting colours on opposite ends of the colour wheel.
Airfields are used to transport military units to other airfields or your home base, move military units by an airfield and then press on the transport button on the bottom left of a selected unit, multiple units can be transported at once and it costs a bit of money
@@SH-mt2xo thanks. Later on after I made comment I found out. They need to add some sort of a codex with info and screenshots. Dune not that simple as it was back in a day 😆
It's weird that the Atreides are wearing green, which is their colors in the book, but the Harkonnen are wearing red, their colors in the Westwood games.
@@PartyElite Yeah, also Distant Worlds 2 is nice, and a return to Bannerlord would be great too. Like a showcase of the most awesome mods. Must be hard to choose!
Im so sad that again with all games like these that it is too complicated with too much micro management. I really wish they would remake the old 90ties Dune II. I dont want to manage so many things, just want to have a straight up base build, harvesting and military build. Just going to end up using cheats.
"House Atreides is able to take a less militaristic approach, as it's able to spread it's influence without the need for violence..." Huuuuuh... Did the devs read the same book as I did?
So I'm only *so* far into the book (shame, I know) but the way I see it, the devs are trying to translate House Atreides' popularity among the great houses into a "they're good at diplomacy" angle, which in turn gives them a boost to Landsraad standing to start, and the ability to peacefully annex local villages. Or perhaps it's a reflection of the Bene Gesserit's influence on the locals before they arrived?
@@PartyElite I can definetly see why they're going for that angle. unfortunetly I can't say anymore without incurring spoiler territory, but let's say you find out at the end of the book why the Emperor was so scared of Duke Leto Atreides and it's not because he was a "cut the miltary budget" kind of guy... Also, I absolutely understand taking your time with these books. They can be very dense in worldbuilding and sometimes they are a *real* grind to read. Very good books... Very slow at some points though... (Also the end of the 1rst book kind of disappointed me a little but whatever)
@@conradoccaminha I appreciate the avoidance of spoilers! I've been told the reading experience is very different from either film, so I'm looking forward to its twists and turns. I've been enjoying the read so far - my biggest issue is that I'm just always so busy with everything else, I rarely get the chance to just sit down and read. I used to inhale books on a weekly-basis, back in the day, and it's a habit I'm trying to get back. The lady of the house is much further along than me - I gotta catch up when I get the chance!
@@PartyElite I hope you catch up soon. It's a very good book. PS: Hope you don't mind if I take the opportunity to ask (I'm sure you must have been asked about this before but If you answered somewhere I haven't seen): Are we going to get the livestreams we used to have? I remember you did some on saturdays (I was in one of them, I believe, but Saturday's when I usually play RPG's with my friends so I couldn't be in most) and, If I'm not wrong, even sunday. But they haven't been out consistently. I hope this isn't an annoyance. I understand you mast have been asked this more than a few times. It's just that I had a lot of fun with those and I really miss them.
Sounds like a bug yeah - the Fremen Thumper even specifically says the sandworm can't come up there, and I've never had "run to the local village" fail as an escape plan for my units!
Influence, landsraad, intel authority - nah, lets cover something that is obvious after 20 min of gameplay in our "tips" video. It's like reading a tutorial made by Microsoft. Also reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer went tutoring - where they had an orange peeling class. And if it seems as I am mad over you putting "all that work" - well, cause I am. You wasted my time by calling "this" a tutorial. And no, it is not ok to farm views by doing something really useless and putting a bating title to your video. here is a tip for you, how to become a successful programmer. You should start by turning on your PC. And if you don't have one, then you should by one. Those my two useful tips on becoming a programmer. I should make a 20 min video about it.
@@kripposoft I haven't heard of any Dune CK mods. I'd hazard most people would think of Dune 2 from the ninties. One of the first rts games and, from what I've heard, it was pretty popular.
@@mattmorehouse9685 I remember. I played the shit out of it. It was called like "emperor: Lord of Dune" or something, It released in 2001 when I was 11. favorite game of the RTS genre ever. Didn't even know it was based on a book series until I was like 18
I did purchase it. Kinda waste of money tbh. Not alot of game there. With VERRY little units. And there is little replayabilty. And as a bit of personal opinion, i found the landraat mechanic tedious.

I love how there is a settlement named Esh-in and there is a faction that's building their "cities" below the cities of their enemies...
When I saw a village named "Esh-In" I knew I had to find a way to get it in there as much as possible

Great explanation of the dynamics of the game. I hope you make more videos regarding the specific factions. It's a dense game that needs to be broken down.
"I" on Keyboard shows info like all 4x games. Just FYI. And I've been watching since 3kingdoms I love your content.
Do you make an updated guide in the future? A lot of updates in early access
I've bought this game and it looks awesome but the learning curve seems too steep.

The combat seems so weird. It's like civ but in real time.
Yeah it definitely feels so strange at first, but once you get a feel for it, it's really quite neat.
It's weird that the Atreides are wearing green, which is their colors in the book, but the Harkonnen are wearing red, their colors in the Westwood games.
I think they pay homage to a few different previous Dune pieces of media! Leto also looks very much like Oscar Isaac to me!
I wonder if there will be more factions in the future.
I hope so, though the devs have so far said they want to focus on these 4. There's lots of potential though, and they know it too!
@@PartyElite Actually they said there will be one more in early access and potentially more after full release.
@@PartyElite I was thinking that ranged units should have limited ammo. in most of the games rnaged units become OP due to that reason alone.

Also reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Homer went tutoring - where they had an orange peeling class. And if it seems as I am mad over you putting "all that work" - well, cause I am. You wasted my time by calling "this" a tutorial. And no, it is not ok to farm views by doing something really useless and putting a bating title to your video.
here is a tip for you, how to become a successful programmer. You should start by turning on your PC. And if you don't have one, then you should by one. Those my two useful tips on becoming a programmer. I should make a 20 min video about it.
This game looks almost exactly like Crusader Kings 3, thought it was a mod first
Really? I'd think the ability to control units in battle and the lack of in depth character stats would give it away.
@@mattmorehouse9685 Apparently it started as a mod for CK3?
@@kripposoft I haven't heard of any Dune CK mods. I'd hazard most people would think of Dune 2 from the ninties. One of the first rts games and, from what I've heard, it was pretty popular.
@@mattmorehouse9685 I remember. I played the shit out of it. It was called like "emperor: Lord of Dune" or something, It released in 2001 when I was 11. favorite game of the RTS genre ever. Didn't even know it was based on a book series until I was like 18
@@mattmorehouse9685 Sorry, it was called "Emperor: Battle for Dune" apparently. Great game back then!
I did purchase it. Kinda waste of money tbh. Not alot of game there. With VERRY little units. And there is little replayabilty. And as a bit of personal opinion, i found the landraat mechanic tedious.
Sorry man, the video is wayyyyyy too long. 26 minutes??
This is more like an arcade game. Not anything really too in depth. If your a fan of the Dune, then that's really all there is to this game.
