Trike (Available
From The Starport) There are two versions of the trike, the Atreides and Ordos. The Ordos' version is quicker, but has no armour, the Atreides' version is slower and has armour. Best used as a scouting lookout, to uncover the map. |

Combat Tank
(Available From The Starport) The first Tank you will be able to build. It's quick-ish and packs a reasonable punch. A good use for these is base defence and escorts to rocket launchers. |

| Speed | 40km/h |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Combat Tanks are resistant to infantry and explosives, but vulnerable to missiles and high caliber weapons |

 |
Heavy Siege
Tank
(Available From The Starport) Another unit that is unavailable to the Atreides, the heavy siege tank is more than a combat tank with a huge gun mounted to it! With heavy armour to add to the equation, it makes for a very useful unit to lead attacks. |
| House | All |
| Requirements | Upgraded Heavy Factory |
| Range | Long |
| Speed | 32 kph |
| Armor | Heavy |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to bullets, and somewhat, high explosives. Vulnerable to missiles and high caliber weapons |

 |
Rocket
Launcher (Available From The

| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Vulnerable to nearly all weapons |

 |
Harvester (Available
From The Starport) Arguably the most important unit in the game, without these, you are not going to get very far. It is desperately slow, but heavily armoured, so not best deployed in the middle of the battle field. It will however automatically run over any foot units that attack it. (Making a sickening crunching sound and leaving a rather nice red mark behind on the sand!) - Ah, that sound brings back memories..;-) |
| House | All |
| Requirements | Refinery |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 45 kph |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to infantry and some explosives but are vulnerable to missiles and high caliber weapons |
| Abilities | This unit is the most important unit in the game, it provides you with your cash flow. When it returns to the Refinery the harvested spice is converted to credits |
 |
Carry All (Available
From The Starport) These are probally the most usefull unit in the army. They can transport harvesters or any other wheeled unit around the map. The harvesters go to and from the refineries, and the vehicles to and from the repair depot. Rather expensive, but in the later levels where you must get as many credits as possible, these units keep the credits coming as fast as they are harvested! |
| House | All |
| Requirements | High Tech Factory |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 160km/h |
| Armor | Heavy |
| Vulnerabilities | Only can be hit by missiles, like from the Rocket Turret and Missile Launcher |
| Abilities | These units have no weapons but are used to transport vehicles. They will pick up your harvester and return it to the Refinery and then back to the spice fields. Also will deliver damaged units back to the Repair Bay |
 |
MCV (Mobile
Construction Vehicle) (Available
From The Starport) Another usefull (and in some missions, vital) unit, the MCV is a mobile Construction Vehicle. It can move around the map and deploy itself anywhere you like (as long as it's on rock). Quite expensive at 900 credits, but it can be picked up for a bargin from the starport. |
| House | All |
| Requirements | Upgraded Heavy Factory and Repair Pad |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 15 kph |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to infantry and some explosives. Vulnerable to missiles and high caliber weapons |
| Abilities | The MCV can be moved to a location of your choice and then deployed to create a new base of operations |
 |
Sonic Tank
(Special Unit) Only available to the Atreides (to make up for no WOR or Siege tank, no doubt), these tanks are unique in the way they work, they fire sonic waves at their target, making it a deadly addition to any army. Only one problem with this unit, the sound waves damage all units within it's range, even friendly. Best used with care. |
| House | Atreides |
| Requirements | IX Research Center and Heavy Factory |
| Range | Medium |
| Speed | 44km/h foot |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to infantry and explosives but vulnerable to missiles and tanks |
| Abilities | It fires a sound wave in a form of a sonic wave which is very effective against infantry and lightly armored vehicles. All units in the path of the sonic wave will be damaged |
 |
Ordos
Deviator (Special Unit) Only available to the Ordos, this unit is not a offensive weapon at all, it is a modified Rocket Launcher that fires nerve gas at it's target. If successful, it causes the unit's loyalty to temporarily change, best used against Harkonnen Devastators, deviate and self-destruct them inside their own base! |
| House | Ordos |
| Requirements | IX Research Center and Heavy Factory |
| Range | Medium |
| Speed | 30 kph |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Vulnerable to nearly all types of weapons |
| Abilities | This unit will cause no actual damage to the units. It fires a warhead which changes the allegiance of the vehicle for a time but does not effect infantry units |
 |
Harkonnen
Devastator (Special Unit) This huge tank is the main battle tank of the Harkonnens, Quite slow but heavily armoured, it is a force to be reckoned with, well only if in groups. Easily defeated if used on it's own. However, when it explodes the force of the explosion causes damage to the near-by area. Useful as a kamikaze unit, trundle it into an opponents base, park it next to a structure (or two) and issue the self-destruct command. |
| House | Harkonnen |
| Requirements | IX Research Center and Heavy Factory |
| Range | Medium |
| Speed | 30km/h |
| Armor | Heavy |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to nearly everything, but is somewhat vulnerable to missiles and high caliber weapons |
| Abilities | The most powerful tank on the planet but slow to move and reload. It uses atomic power and fires dual plasma charges but can become unstable when greatly damaged. Also can be set to self-destruct causing damage to the surrounding area |
 |
Ornithopter
(Special Unit) |
| House | Atreides |
| Requirements | High Tech Factory upgraded |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 340 kph |
| Armor | Light |
| Vulnerabilities | Vulnerable to only missiles |
| Abilities | Fastest unit on Dune and drops bombs on the targets below. Effective against infantry but once given the command to strike it immediatly heads to that location |
 |

| House | Ordos |
| Requirements | Ordos Palace |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 15 kph, foot |
| Armor | Light |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to anti-tank weapons but vulnerable to explosive and infantry |
| Abilities | The Saboteur can enter a building, immediatly destroy it |
 |
Fremem (Special Unit) The fremem were also not much use in Dune2, uncontrollable and a bit useless. However expect much better and more use from them in Dune2000. |

| Requirements | Atreides Palace |
| Range | Medium |
| Speed | 17 kph, foot |
| Armor | Medium |
| Vulnerabilities | Resistant to anti-tank weapons but vulnerable to other infantry and explosives |
| Abilities | Fremen are the warriors of Dune, they know the planet and are effective against any targets. Fremen are stealth units and can only be seen once they come within range of other infantry units |
 |
Death Hand (Special Unit) Ok, now we're talking. Dune's equivilant of a nuke. Can be woefully inaccurate though. Aim where the highest concentration of the enemy is, and you may stand a chance of a kill! |
| House | Harkonnen |
| Requirements | Harkonnen Palace |
| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 700 kph |
| Armor | Light |
| Vulnerabilities | None, if one is heading your way, pray. |
| Abilities | Carries multiple warheads of atomic power which causes damage to wide areas but innacurate at times |
 |
Sardaukar (Special Unit) The sardaukar were in Dune2, a bit pathetic and weak, they were no challange (except when they were dropped behind your base and the nearest unit was miles away!) They appear to have gained a machine gun in this version. Nice for cutting up infantry with. |

| Range | Medium |
| Speed | 15 kph, foot |

| Range | N/A |
| Speed | 250 kph |
| Abilities | The Frigate will deliver the units ordered from the Starport but is not controllable |
 |
Sand Worm (Special Unit) The bane of many a commander. You're off fighting - you hear a groaning noise, you rush to where your last harvester was, just to find that it had been eaten. Oh joy. :-) |
| Speed | 30 KPH |
| Armor | Heavy |
| Vulnerabilities | Vulnerable to missiles and tanks but resistant to infantry and explosives, difficult to destroy |
