hm... having the Fremen and the Sardaukar in the same "team" would be very... strange... (who read the book or watched the movie(s) will know what I meant)

otherwise the Sardaukar are wuite cooll... so .D

Necrosis

Interesting... odd choice for the NS universe mind you!

jaboo

I am i big fan of dune (i love it)
The Sardaukar are pretty well not in the movies but if you need concepts i can draw them out.

CaptainPanaka

actually... I liked the ones from the 2nd dune game most...

Fremen:

Sardaukar:

jaboo

i think they got the sardaukar wrong.
and the novels say the fremen were reconers and traveled light.
eg:sniper rifle, or fredakian sound gun

Im thinking of doing a quick animation for a tribute to dune

jaboo

by any chance any of you know how to spell the house Telaxue (my books are at home)

douchebagatron

is dune a hard read at all? ive been thinkin about reading it.

Ichindar

I assume you mean the Bene Tleilax (aka Tleilaxu).

jaboo

its a 6 piece novel.
if you liked the movies or mini series youll love it.
its somewhat complicated when you have to remember each house and guild
if you play the games youll think there will be ordos but there is only a very small discusion about ordos or the executrise (forgive my spelling)

douchebagatron

i have played dune 2000, and it was ok. not really any story, just your average RTS. i havent seen any movies or shows or anything, ive only just heard bits and peices of it. something about a buncha people who are trying to harvest the spice off a planet.

jaboo

THERES SO MUCH STORY LINE IN THE BOOKS
like politics, war, houses, guilds,guns, species

If you want to know more about hte story line without the reading our renting the movies
get the game emperor battle for dune

basicly it revises the movie but in a different mood

douchebagatron

i might borrow it from my friend who has it. so you say its a 6peice novel? like LOTR where there is 6 books?

jaboo

yes.. there is even more comming out.
but it is way more point of view even thou J R Tolkein made languages

basicly the books are about 3 things
Atredies (the good guys who are invading arakis)
Harkonen (the bad ones)
Fremen (the main people who inhabit arakis)

(sorry for my spelling)

My cousin says hes going to make a replacing model for gordon freman in hl2 with this

Yes Yes it is STING

jaboo

thank you for the spelling of the Tleilaxu

douchebagatron

do the books go in a certain order?

jaboo

some of them do
but some of them are just battles

i suggest renting the movies

Dune2!!!! ooooh good old times I wasted weeks on playing it....<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

And Sardaukar is the army of the Emperor
Freman are the natives living on Dune.

Uh I can hardly see the resemblance between Dune and NS :/
no aliens, just 3 houses, the Emperor and the Freman...

jaboo

Actually theres not really just three houses theres alot, like IX
and Ordos is mailny just for the games it has little resemblance in the books.
And the Sardaukar are not the emperors, they are mercs/power lovers.
And theres the bene tleixue, and the emperor is really controled by his wife and the guild of navigation

Ichindar

The books go in the order of: Dune, Dune: Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. All of these books were written by Frank Herbert. The books really should be read in order as they are written in chronological order.

The new Dune series, which is still being written, is actually a couple of series in itself. As a prelude to the original Dune series, it goes: House Atreides, House Harkonnen, House Corrino. The next series is more of a precursor to the way the empire formed, and the basis of the mythos in the Dune universe and go in the order of: The Butlerian Jihad, The Machine Crusade, and coming soon, The Battle of Corrin. These new books are a collaboration between Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert's son, and Kevin J. Anderson.

jaboo

ya man

theres the 6 piece series
Classic Dune

Then there is the precludes

and theres the battles of corrin

and i do believe there are tribute books comming out

Dune > Everything

Dune has been one of the best series I've read but I have to say that I hated the first movie. Sonic Guns? Where did that come from? No mention of them anywhere in any books. That aside I think it would awesome to see some dune stuff.... ANYWHERE. Dune doesn't get enough work from the fan base. I would love to see an rts based on the new books about the machine war. The book describes multiple military units for both sides and could easily be made into a game. But hey thats just me....

The Dune Mini Series was actually pretty good (i dunno if it was only in Canada or if it was all over) but the Children of Dune minis series wasnt as good as the book.
