Frank Herbert's DUNE — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Frank Herbert's Dune is a large underground-enabled map for eight players, set on a desert world with a sprawling layout of rock, water, sand, and subterranean passages. It is played on an extra-large 144 by 144 grid, and four seats are open to human players while the other four are reserved for the computer, colored tan, purple, teal, and pink. There are no fixed teams. The map is designed for the Restoration of Erathia version and is rated hard. Players lead one of four houses: red, green, blue, or orange, with factions ranging from castles and strongholds to necropolises and fortresses. Victory requires flagging all mines, and a player is eliminated once all towns and heroes are lost. Notable features include 67 mines, 27 creature banks, the Grail, and wandering golems and dragons across the land.
