How to Play:

TIPS:

• Rebuilding radar quality with the addition of a radar outpost (while making sure sufficient power levels remain available to keep running smoothly)
• Certain buildings must first be completed before becoming accessible to you.
• Later levels will unlock additional buildings and units.
• If you need credits quickly, try returning an early Harvester back to Refinery.
• Certain units are exclusive to specific factions - for instance the Harkonnen Devastator, Ordos Deviator or Atreides Sonic Tank are examples.
• Establish a Repair Centre and units will tend to go there themselves for repairs without your having to tell them where.
• Construct foundations quickly by placing 4x4 concrete slabs - even on uneven terrain! - and create base foundations quickly.
• Create a Carryall using Hi-Tech Factory immediately - they make picking-up/dropping off units such as Harvesters or retreating units much faster!
• Use trikes as fast, inexpensive scout vehicles to gather intelligence on enemy bases.
• Stay alert - be ready for confrontation once they know who and where you are!)
• Sandworms cannot consume units located on land.
• Spice Blooms can be shot to release payloads of spice.
