Wizard in the Making
Regarding Ordos, i LOVE their theme in the Westwood game (they were my favourite) and the combination of Espionage, use of illegal gas weaponry like the chemical trooper and deviator, their tanks having weaker armour but powerful sheilds and their tanks abilities ro rebuild themselves. i really think you should try to take more from the games. Sure its not Frank Herbert, but there is so much that is missing from Dune and so much creative lisence for UUs and everything that getting ideas from other sources isnt a bad idea.
also, a lot of people arent 'dune geeks' that know the books inside out, im one of these and i originally found Dune and this mod from the Westwood game. i think restricting yourself to only the book cuts the potential audience in half.
this is obviously just my oppinion so take from it what you will
------------------
here is a list of a few things from the book's glossary:
Yali: fremen personal quarters within a sietch (potential for a UB)
Ixian Solido Projector:(Ixian UU which creates an illuory copy of the strongest unit in its stack or a selected target, illusory copies can damage but not kill enemies and cannot capture cities.)
Sliptip Guardsman: (Early Ordos UU, passes the 'poisoned' promotion ala FfH from combat.)
Selamlik: (Sardukar courthouse UB, extra reduction in maintanence cost?)
Sadus Tent: (Fremen courthouse UB, +1happy from state religion)
Noukker:(Imperial bodyguards, possible UU for Sardukar)
Lasgun Tank: (potential Ordos Suspensor UU)
