No. It territorial iostill works

MickeMouse have some right. I can feel it in Dune 2K more than 20 stable players drop on half in the last year. Propably its problem of every one prefer own mod while original was very unfinished and not very interesting for MP. Also problem of our ,,evolution´´, players want all simple, easy, and fast. Not to do much with a RTS anymore. Eco mass wasting racing.

it is tough to find players. but every now and then i find them

[scouby999]

indeed, especially on Dune, there are fewer and fewer players. But we still manage to find some thanks to discord.

The project is not dead and maps are updated by enthusiasts.

Dune is really excellent, I tried Command & Conquer and I wasn't hooked...

It's not dead. Me and my friend only recently just found OpenRA and are playing the Dune games multiplayer vs bots.
I think the Dune game needs balancing. Ordos is significantly weaker, with weak combat tanks. Not to mention, what is point of building an Ordos Palace? Sabotuers are pointless. It even prones and crawls under fire when it should run at full speed as a suicide bomber.
Also I think the AI Ominious, Vidious and Gladius, needs to have differing competency levels or at least a different style of gameplay. Currently the bots are indistinguishable and pretty random.

Saboteur cloaking has been implemented on the development branch, so they will become a bit more useful in the future. (Although it will likely take two releases until that change goes public - all features for the next release are already frozen.)

Thanks for the info abcdefg30. Ordos mid to late game strategy is clearly lacking. The heavy factory is pointless without a durable tank, and the light factory only has a slightly above average Trike (Raider). IF the Ordos merchant faction is supposed to be light and pesky, the Quads should be a little stronger, and they should have some kind of cheaper price to buy or make units, so that they can use quantity instead of quality. Currently there's no economy bonus for a mercantile faction (so what's the point of calling it mercantile?) And thus the 3 faction game, is essentially a 2 faction game. If I'm a mercantile faction I should be richer and be able to buy a nuke like in Red Alert.
