Dune Civ II mod

[wonx2150]

This is an experiment I’ve come up with. I’ve been considering creating a Dune related mod later on, after my Command and Conquer mod so this is a demo of my ideas .



Let us know what you think I'm not going to expand this significantly for the near future so if you want to be my guest

I am afraid there's not much to comment on. However if you have an outline I will be more than happy to discuss it.

Interesting map...

Gelion is right...you might want to post some more info here in the thread about your thoughts...we could generate some ideas for this...it is a good idea to make a Dune scenario...it's the perfect clash of civs battling it out...

Anyone got any spice for this scenario?

I'm not sure Ive had a lot of thoughts I'm mostly working on my C&C mod atm this was just an idea. Ill post any thoughts i have Ive not got any on my mind right now .

It will be a while till i do anything with this mod .

Would your Dune MOD be based on the planet Arrakis during the period of the original Dune book? Or would it be based on the whole Dune Universe spanning the whole time period of all of Frank Herbet's books?

I think that the latter would be much cooler because it would allow you to have a really detailed tech tree, and you would have to have seperate tech trees for each civ (i.e. Ben-Gesserit, House Harkonnen, House Corinno, House Atreides, Bene Tleilax, Spacing Guild, Honored matres, etc.)

Good luck

I agree with you GarethMann, that it would make it more interesting if it was to be based on the whole Dune Universe. I hadn't had that though so thanks. Id only worked on what the games and movie tells me haven't not read the books. Although its on my list of things to do.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if ill ever get around it. So if anyone wants to play with the idea be my guest . I'm on holiday at the moment then when I'm back home we shall. See although if i do any civ 2 modding it will probably be my C&C mod.

Thanks for your comment though and the idea

It's a shame you never finished this mate. While there's a few other Dune scenarios out there for Civ2 that I've found over the years none of them quite captured the feel of the game, which despite the convo in this thread I can see was definitely more the inspiration for your work than the books or films (as you've got tanks from the game and playable Ordos).

Sadly your work is a bit too early alpha and incomplete for me to finish as I just lack the time but I'm tempted to take one of the other existing Dune scenarios and do a Dune 2 game graphics mod for them as I've got access to a lot of the extracted assets from Westwood classic. Shall see how we go! No promises lol. Either way at least my remaster of your very cool and other much much more finished Command & Conquer scenario you mentioned here will be finished soon!

In the meantime while testing your file I noticed a transparency glitch in your desert sands ocean replacement resulting in nasty visual glitches. I've corrected them and also chucked in a title image. I'll attached the modified copy to this post should anyone wanna play around with it. These visual fixes also gives me something presentable for my big Civ2 HD tour video where I wanna do a Dune fan mods tribute section!

I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself..
