This guide is packed with some pretty good strategies for all three sides in Battle for Dune. I would have liked better explanation of the game's almost randomized mission structure as well as specific unit stats, but the guide is still a big help in figuring out the best unit combos and tactics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book but Redundant, September 16, 2002

This review is from: Emperor: Battle for Dune: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This is a good book for those players who have not played through one of the previous Dune games. It gives good information on general strategies and detailed stats for all structures and units. However, because the game has very few scripted missions (only 3 per House that are the same every time through) it is unable to provide solutions to the missions you will face. In short, if you are familiar with Dune, you probably don't need it and will gain little advantage from this manual.
