Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based on them. The planet itself is also hostile, with dangerous sandworms inhabiting the spice fields.ĭune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Competition among these houses begins peacefully but soon turns ugly as they battle each other with armed troops, advanced weaponry, and spies. To increase productivity, The Padishah Emperor has invited three powerful Houses (Harkonnen, Atreides, and Ordos) to compete against one another economically and bring up spice production. The Spice is the basis of interstellar travel and thus the standard of the Imperial economy.

The planet Arrakis (also known as Dune for its sandy landscape) is the only place in the known universe where Melange (more commonly known as the Spice) can be found.
