Trivia
We finally learn the name of the icy home planet of the Ordos: Draconis IV.
The game had no feature of editted maps, but because of the rising demand from the fans, westwood had to patch the game, and release a map editor. They also released 6 map packs as an exmple to well built maps. After the editor was out westwood lost interest in the game, and moved it's support to one of their fans known as Gabblehopper.
The game support has moved from westwood, to fed2k's site found ad www.fed2k.com
This game is a sequel to Dune 2000, but when finished with Ordos. In the last scene of Ordos House in Dune 2000, Lady Elara uses her Gob Jabbar to kill the Emperor,and that piece of animation is even used in intro for this game. By this, Westwood finally breaks the tradition of making add-ons and sequels as if the good guys have won in a prequel.

Beside Frank Klepacki (Westwood's music composer that made music for C&C series, Dune series, Lands of Lore series, etc.), Westwood Studio brought another two music composers for "Emperor: battle for Dune" game. This way, each of them composed music tracks for different houses, so that way they accomplished that each of the house, Atreides, Ordos, and the Harkonnen possess similar yet unique music style that marks a certain house.

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.
