Emperor: Battle for Dune

Description

Emperor: Battle for Dune represents the seamless combination of cutting-edge 3D graphics and perfected real-time strategy gameplay. In your conquest for the Imperial Throne in the gripping universe of Dune, choose from three unique sides and five powerful subgroups to plot a perilous course through up to five treacherous game worlds. In both single-player and multiplayer modes, lead your forces in both large-scale planetary strategies and cunning ground-level tactics.

Westwood claims the game contains a more realistic AI, in that when you start out, the computer knows nothing about land it cannot see, which is a nice change.

Trivia

For those that pre-ordered "Emperor: Battle for Dune", will get a special code that unlocks a three units for multiplayer mode. However, Westwood Studios will make that available for all the others as well, but not so soon, so pre-ordered owners of Emperor will have a slight advantage over Internet or LAN battles.
