Other advancements included a new type of campaign mode which let you play online in groups of up to 3 players. The basics behind the story is that the Emperor has been assassinated in the year and his throne has been left vacant. Because of this the Atreides, Ordos, and Harkonnen have once again returned to "Battle for Dune" except this time the battle will also be taken to the homeplanets of each of the three Houses.
There will also be the Ix, Fremen, Sardaukar, Guild, Tleilaxu factions available to ally with during the campaign and during multiplayer games. Duniverse » Games » Emperor: Battle for Dune.

There are usually just two or three sectors controlled by each opposing house that can be attacked at a time and at least two are typically off-limits due to severe storms. These often feature fairly similar enemy forces, so it's not as if these selections represent vastly different tactical plans.
Also, there are certain elements of the story that seem to be set in stone, even the alliances with lesser houses and other independent groups. As an example of this, I was never able to form an alliance between the Atreides and the Tleilaxu, even though it was specifically noted in one of the cutscenes that the choice of ally would be left up to me.
Even when you are given varied mission objectives, the route taken to victory is almost always the same. Just like Red Alert , you always start off with a small group of forces and must immediately set up a base and start collecting resources in this case, the Spice Melange and constructing buildings and military units. Repetition is the watchword here, as you'll spend much of your time building the same structures over and over again.
There are some episodes that break this trend, though they're few and far between. After leaving the campaign map, the gameplay here is very traditional and without much in the way of surprises. There are a few worthy tactical elements, though. Ally yourself with the Fremen tribesmen and you'll be able to summon mighty Sandworms to crush the opposition.
The value of high ground is emphasized more here than in perhaps any other RTS in recent memory. As bases must be established on the rock that towers over the sandy seas below, you have to take advantage of this by building in the right areas and fortifying that position with long-range units such as mortars and snipers.
Unfortunately, this emphasizes the relatively poor AI granted to your computer opponents, who will often assault such solid encampments from the sand below rather than flanking you in an attempt to launch an attack from a level playing field.
If you work quickly and fortify your structures properly, you can expect little serious challenge from the opposition while you build a massive offensive force. About the only obstacle to victory is the sub-par pathfinding. Your units will bump into one another and stop, wander into the range of enemy gun turrets, and so on.
Large-scale battles should be micro-managed for the best result, which of course gets a little annoying at times. And infantry units are so dumb that they'll often allow themselves to be crushed by oncoming vehicles that could easily have been avoided. It's nice that they put direct firing orders ahead of self-preservation, but still. Additional gaming options might provide players with further entertainment value, but again, there really isn't anything here that hasn't been seen before.
Skirmish mode features some interesting ideas involving alliances, Sandworm activity, prebuilt bases, and crates with goodies inside, though there isn't a map editor or a random map generator. That alone will limit the replay value. Multiplayer is handled through the dedicated Westwood Online service. One helpful frill here is that you can go online to play a campaign cooperatively. It's good to see that, despite everything else, the designers realized the value of a cooperative mode.
Good points aside, Emperor: Battle for Dune is a tired game based on a limited concept that was beaten to death in Dynamic campaign and true 3D engine or not, the essentials of gameplay still come down to the very same basics that have dominated such titles for going on a decade now. Even though Westwood has thrown in everything but the kitchen sink to make this arguably the ultimate traditional RTS, it's still hard to contemplate playing the actual game without yawning.
