In Dune II, all buildings would deteriorate regardless, but the concrete foundations slowed the process. Like Dune II, the player may construct concrete before placing buildings. As the units explore the map, the darkness is removed for the duration of the game. Like most real-time strategy games, the game map initially starts with a fog of war, better known as "shroud", covering the entire map, with an exception to units' line of sight. The game uses a similar engine as Command and Conquer: Red Alert however, unlike Dune II, the player can control more than one unit at a time. The player harvests spice for "solaris," the in-game currency, and uses the solaris to make units to supply his forces. The player takes control of one of the three Houses and must fight for control of the spice melange on the planet Arrakis, or Dune. Unlike the other two houses, House Ordos is not mentioned in any of Frank Herbert's Dune novels, but it is mentioned in the non- canon Dune Encyclopedia. According to the manual, House Ordos buys all of its units instead of constructing them themselves.
As they import their goods from nearby star systems, House Ordos relies on their skills as merchants to make their profits however, their wealth has made them increasingly paranoid. The Ordos originate from a frigid, ice covered planet unnamed in Dune 2000 but later called Sigma Draconis IV in Emperor: Battle for Dune. The Baron's Mentat, Hayt De Vries, was born from the flesh of a dead man in the Tleilaxu Flesh Vats. According to Lady Elara, the only thing human about the Harkonnen is their genetic makeup, as all humanity was abandoned long ago in favor of brutality and maliciousness. The Harkonnens are ruled by the wicked Baron and come from the volcanic waste-planet of Giedi Prime. The Duke also wishes to develop an alliance with the Fremen, the native warriors of Dune. The House's fleets of ornithopters ensure their superior air power.
The Duke's famous Mentat, Noree Moneo, advises and resides over the Duke's forces on Arrakis. Hailing from the water-planet of Caladan, the Atreides have a strict loyalty to their Duke and follow him with zeal. According to Elara, they saw many visions of the commander dying many times-and only in one vision does the commander live and even rise to control massive armies and bring peace to Arrakis. Meanwhile, Lady Elara of the Bene Gesserit and bound concubine to the Emperor, secretly takes the commander - the player - into one of the Heighliners, a person whose bloodline and future the Sisterhood had checked.
