Face Dancer
| Sent by: Zander |
| Abilities: Appears to enemies to be one of their own units; in multiplayer modes, players selecting a Face Dancer hear an appropriate confirmation transmission and menu and can give it commands, which will be acknowledged but not obeyed. Carries strong poison injectors and HE bombs, allowing it to deal great damage to both infantry and vehicles alike, but has little effect on structures. Fairly well armored, about on the order of a normal Trooper. |
| Appearance: To its own team, it appears as a silver infantryman; to others, it looks like one of their own infantry. |
| Other Info: Face Dancers are elite Tleilaxu warrior-spies, and their services do not come cheap. Face Dancers are purchased via the Guild's Spaceports, and arrive on Frigates. Purchasing a Face Dancer is very, very expensive, on the order of 700 or 800 solaris. However, there are no limits on how many Face Dancers may be deployed at any given time. |
PRG
| Sent by: DeadMeat |
| Abilities: The PRG or portable rail gun, has the range of 2000m, is able to take any unit out, because of its power. It costs 4000 credits and you have to have a starport to build it. Its max speed is 40kph. |
| Appearance: Floating orb which opens, into four pieces and, the gun you see as a grey barrel. It has lights along it, but it depends as what house you play as. Once you have manualy locked on to a target, it takes 3 seconds to charge, and fires a grey shell, with spirals (see quake 2 for effect.) It thens closes and stays there till you lock onto another target. It has no air defences, medium armour. |
| Other Info: It can be joined with other PRG, and then they grow twice as big as they are, and fires 2 shots, or 3 depending on how many you merge. Same rate of fire as before. Can kill sandworms in one shot, can't be eaten. |

Special Characters
| Sent by: Renesis |
| House: All |
| Name: Special Characters |
| Abilities: No special abilities or powers. Maybe one or two characters can have special abilities for the fun, but no super human. Like Characters from the movie i.e. the Baron of Harkonnen, The Duke of Atreides or new developted characters. Each characters can appear in one or several mission as a mission-objective to be protected or escorted. |
| Appearance: If it's a noble person let him sound noble and dressed in fancy clothing (colours like red, blue and white). The also have to speak like a noble. For military charaters let them speak though (with a attitude, like Tanya in C&C RA and the Commando in C&C). They must be dressed in camouflage-outfits. |
| Other Info: The characters can not be trained by a building but will appear at the start or during a mission. This will give the game more story. It will almost look like you're playing with another purpose than just only seek and destroy your oppossing enemy. |
The Black Hole
| Sent by: Michael |
| House: All |
| Name: The Black Hole |
| Abilities: The Black Hole, is a floating hole that moves around the map. If you see it then all the units you have iconed on can go in it and end up at a different location on the map, only if they click on the hole. Also they would not know where they would end up, but it sure would put a twist in the game. |
| Appearance: The Black Hole would just be a hole the size of a quarter, it would do the same as the box does now. The flyers can be the same but you can only build one at a time, it bombs randomly until it is killed. |
| Other Info: A new structure you could build, could be somthing that is like the palace but only you dont know what is coming out of it or how many (eg. 4trikes 2 quads i devistator 5 missle men) and so on. I could go on for ever with my ideas, but one day, maybe I'll have enough hardware I can make my own. Flyers or bombers you can keep, until there shot down like on dune for the sega. |
Medium Ornithopter
| Sent by: ? |
| House: All |
| Name: Medium Ornithopter |
| Abilities: Armed with a machinegun and the ability to carry 5 passengers. The chaingun has unlimited ammo. |
| Appearance: Bigger than the Regular Ornithopter and with a chaingun beneath the cockpit. |
| Other Info: Can land anywhere on the screen. Requires a high tech factory. |
Groundcar
| Sent by: Cruelest |
| House: All |
| Name: Groundcar |
| Abilities: Groundcar, as in the Dune books, would be a car of futuristic appearance, with extremely high speed capabilities, and some transportation abilities as well. It could possibly transport several units over the terrain at high speeds, and since groundcars in the books have suspenors underneath, it could bypass dunes, worms, and spiceblows. No weapons on it though, as in the books, and light armor. |
| Appearance: Futuristic, with no wheels (suspensors underneath). House insignia on the sides, and if it is a smuggler groundcar, then no insignia at all. Should be buildable by the light factory if used in Dune 2k. |
| Other Info: Many of the units and creations that are on this website have already been built, have no useful application in a game, or are just plain stupid. I think that people submittin their ideas here should hope for them to be created in some game (Arrakis maybe, or that TS Dune conversion). Also, how many different types of Fremen Death Commandoes can there be? I saw at least six or seven when I was looking at other people's ideas. Make up something original, that could be useful in a game, but not so useful that it weakens other units in the game. It's called strategy, and not many people seem to be thinking about it. |
All Infantry
| Sent by: Steve |
| House: All |
| Name: All Infantry |
| Abilities: Like everyone else when I 'bought' this game I thought it it look sweet in the pictures on the back of the box, it is a good game but it seems to much like Command and Conquer except with better graphics. If you could ever make new units how about fixing up the old ones, especially the infantry. In the book, I didn't read about anybody carrying a 9mm assualt rifle and they all seemed to be throwing knives at each other. Don't take away the guns, without them it would be kinda gay, but I figured it would be fucking cool if when two soldiers got within a foot of eachother that the one with the stonger life bar just stabbed the fucker instead of shooting at a guy thats a foot in front of him. I don't know if you could do that but I'm sure you can. If its design is like Command and Conquer where 1 unit could fire 2 diffrent weapons, you could probaly tinker with it till you got some kinda results. Im not a pipe dreamer, just thought if anyone could do that it would make it funner. |
| Appearance: Make all the infantry look less like C&C rip offs, and more 'Duneish' or something. |
| Other Info: Make those seige tanks high explosive shells look a lot more explosive. They look like a watermellon getting dropped at a beach party, except I've never seen a watermellon kill 10 guys. And I think they mixed up the infantry death animations. When they get 'blown up' by the siege tank they flop on the ground, but when a guy shoots a machine gun at them they explode... At least C&C got that right. |

| Sent by: Ammon |
| House: All |
| Name: Mortar Team |

| Appearance: The mortar team consists of three infatery soldiers. |

| House: All |
| Name: Environmental Defence System |
| Abilities: Holds off an El-Sayal (See El-Sayal) over a certain area. |
| Appearance: Something like the gap-generator in Red Alert. |
| Other Info: It should be placed in the middle of your base where it sends out a magnetic beam. This beam prevents buildings close to the E.D.S. from being damaged by the El-Sayal. The area should be like a gap-generator in Red Alert. |
Improved Wall
| Sent by: Duke Leto |
| House: All |
| Name: Improved Wall |
| Abilities: The improved wall will be similar to a regular wall, with the exception that it is slightly stronger than regular walls, as well as that any infantry unit can move along the top of the wall, allowing them to fire downwards, recieving little damage themselves. Those units on top can only be destroyed by destroying the wall, or having other infantry units go on the wall kill them. |
| Appearance: Will be about twice the width of regular walls, same length.Every 4 sections of the wall, stairs will lead up for infantry to move up on. |
| Other Info: Requires no energy but windtraps are needed to build them.Will be around twice the price of a regular wall. |
Infantry Observer
| Sent by: Duke Leto |
| House: All |
| Name: Infantry Observer |
| Abilities: weapon: both 9mm Assault rifles and wire guided missle launchers. This unit will be able to climb rock walls unlike all other ground units which must find passageways. This way, you can use them to slow down enemy advances if they are positioned on tall rock mountains near the enemy's base, giving you time to prepare your'e forces. |
| Appearance: Same size as regular light infantry but wearing brown camoflauge and having a colored back pack to indicate their house. |
| Other Info: Can be built an upgraded barracks for about three times the price of a trooper. |
Deflector Shield Generator
| Sent by: MazaNaza |
| House: All |
| Name: Deflector Shield Generator |
| Abilities: Once build, this structure projects a shield three squares in all direction (up, down, left, diagonals, right). The shield completely stops tanks fire, missles, and air attacks. Infantry can walk right through the shield; vehicles cannot. The shield is one way: units inside can fire out and exit, but they cannot come back or fire in (friend or foe). |
| Appearance: Looks like the Hoth generator in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Small sequenced lights flash when active, but are dark when in-active (i.e. badly damaged or low power). |
| Other Info: Extremely power intensive. Because a shield may unbalance game play, there needs to be a high cost as well, to make it uneconomical to build a sentry line of these. They are meant to defend specific important structures (i.e. Con. Yard, Palace). |
Noh Ships
| Sent by: Gryffinder |
| House: All |
| Name: Noh Ships |

LexiCon
| Sent by: Shawn Ahmad |
| House: All |
| Name: LexiCon |

| Appearance: A long, thin cable with an attached launcher fitted with a strong nuklear bomb. |
| Other Info: This will destroy and building in two or less shots. If shot into a Windtrap, it will cause an immense shockwave, probably destroy all of their base and damaging yours. |
Mobile Science Pod (MSP)
| Sent by: Dunno? |
| House: All |
| Name: Mobile Science Pod (MSP) |
| Abilities: Any unit may enter the MSP, then you may deploy the MSP. Once you deploy it the game will pause and a selection of five weapons that will be quite costly. Firstly you select between the electric bolt, the plasma blade, the time bomb, the explosive stake or evapouration. Once you select the weapon the money will be deducted and the unit that was in the MSP will come out armed with the weapon you selected. The electric bolt fires a bolt which isn't that effective. The plasma blade is like a mixture between a boomerang and a frisbee, once thrown at the enemy it will return and hit the attacker again, then it will return to the thrower who will throw it again until the enemy is dead. The time bomb does great damage to infantry but inflicts machines a little bit less; once planted the bomb will start countdown. The explosive stake inflicts great damage but not enough to kill in one shot; it is a stake that will be shot at the foot of the enemy then explode. Evapouration! Is the most powerful weapon available, it will automaticly evapourate the person in one shot but is slow to recharge for heat is used for evapouration, however it will probably cost $5000 odd. |
| Appearance: It is a rectangle on catipillar wheels with a door at the back basically (it has to be big to fit devastators in). |
| Other Info: Speed: 30 kph. |

Ultimateus Battleship
| Sent by: Shadow |
| House: All |
| Name: Ultimateus Battleship |
| Abilities: This unit is the ultimate unit of terror and it costs about $12,000 to make. Its a hovering battleship that can carry 10-15 tank units, and/or 40-50 infantry. It has laser turrets and multiple machine guns for protection and a big radar. It is fairly slow, but very armorable and it is used for deadly attacks against your enemies, and it makes a good unit transport and attacking tool. For offence it has three main big guns in the front and and 2 smaller guns on each side. The 3 main guns have a range like the cruiser in Red Alert and the side guns have half the range of the side guns. It can pass over any kind of terrain and it has its own power generators. It is only available in the multiplayer. The weaknes of this unit is that its slow and that it can run out of power if used too much, so you want to be carefull not to overheat the unit, cause then it shuts down and falls on to the ground( then its vulnerable to all kinds of attacks). |
| Appearance: It looks like a aircraft carrier/battleship cruiser, and it hovers of the ground. It has 3 big guns in the front and 2 smaller ones on each side. It has a big radar on top so it detects units easily. If you ever played Heavy Gear, it looks similar to the enemy cruiser battleship that you have to destroy in one of the end missions. |
| Other Info: It would be cool if this unit is included in a sequel to Dune2000. I'd like Dune3? or somthing to have like a 3d acceleration support and to have an engine better than TS( although that engine does kick butt it will be outdated when supposable Dune2000 sequel is in making.) I know if they make a sequel to Dune2K that it will be awsome and fun. |

Mobile Bunker Deployment Vehicle (MBDV)
| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |
| Name: Mobile Bunker Deployment Vehicle (MBDV) |
| Abilities: Type: Bunker Deployment vehicle Requirements: Updated Heavy Factory and Repair Pad Weapon: M-60 machine gun Weapon Range: Short Speed: 30 km/hr Armour: Medium (both vehicle and bunker). MBDVs (and the bunker) are resistant to bullets and some high explosives. They are vulnerable to missiles and high caliber guns. Purpose: A MBDV can deploy one collapsible bunker. The bunker is made from fanmetal, which is metal formed by the growing of jasmium crystals in duraluminium; which is noted for extreme tensile strength in relationship to weight. The MBDV digs a small hole, and then by "fanning" the collapsible bunker out, to form a serviceable bunker. The bunker can be built on sand, but is still vulnerable to any sandworms in the region. As with a normal bunker, it holds 4 infantry type units, the infantry type units are able to fire out of it, and are safe from enemy fire, unless it destroys the bunker. The MBDV can reload at a repair pad. Also, the MBDV has a machine gun for defence. |
| Appearance: Sort of like a smaller MCV. |
| Other Info: # The mobile bunker is slightly weaker than a regular bunker. # The MBDV is tracked, therefore it can crush infantry type units. |

| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |

| Abilities: Type: Three-dimensional image projector. Requires: The original building has to be built (eg. for a project Outpost to be built, a real Outpost must be built). Cost: Very low. Power Requirements: Very low, but depends on how large is the projection (eg. a projected silo has less power requirements than a projected heavy factory). Armour: Very light (weakest "structure"). Projected structures are very vulnerable to all weapons. Purpose: The Ixian Solido projector, projects a three-dimensional image, using 360-degree references signals imprinted on a shigawire reel. The resulting 3D projection is indistinguishable from the real structure, from a distance and from radar. However, infantry units are able to tell the difference if they are close enough to the projected structure. The Solido projector can project an image of any structure except the Palace, Starports, and Repair Pads, due to their size. |
| Appearance: Like the original structure. For example, a project barracks looks like a real barracks). |
| Other Info: # If an infantry type unit (infantry, troopers etc) is close enough to the projected structure, the projected structure goes "blurry", thus distinguishing it from the real structure. Vehicles can not distinguish the projected structure from the real one, not matter how close it is (although once the vehicle fires on the structure, you will know that it is a fake!). # Solido Projected Structures are only available on multi-player games. |
Sniper
| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |
| Name: Sniper |
| Abilities: Type: Ground Based Military Units. Requires: Upgraded Barracks. Weapon: One Bene Theliaxu, armour-piercing, Maula Rifle. Weapon range: Medium, but longer than a Trooper's round. Speed: 10 km/hr. Armour: Light. Snipers are resistant to missiles (trooper; quad, missile tank) and large caliber guns (combat tank, gun turret) but very vulnerable to high explosives (siege tank), fire (Ornithopter) and bullet weapons (trike and light infantry). Purpose: The Ordos Sniper is anti-infantry unit. The Sniper's Maula Rifle bullet is able to penetrate any infantry type armour. The bullet contains in a very fast acting, Bene Theliaxu made poison (derived from a rare plant on the planet Ecaz). Therefore, the Sniper is able to kill almost all infantry type units in one hit. However, the Sniper has a slow fire rate, and is not effective against vehicles. |
| Appearance: Like an Ordos Infantry, but with a longer gun. |
| Other Info: # Sarduakar are able to take more than one hit, due to their elite training and toughness. # Fremen are also able to take more than one hit, due to that the Fremen are addicted to Melange, giving them stronger poison resistance. # The Sniper unit is no way connected to Sniper, the webmaster of 'The Command Centre' :) |
Holtzman Turret
| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |
| Name: Holtzman Turret |
| Abilities: Type: Ground Base Turret Requires: Updated Construction Yard & IX Research Center Weapon: One IX Tech's "Shaitan" suspensor-nullification cannon Weapon Range: Medium, but longer than a gun turret. Cost: Higher than a rocket turret. Power Requirements: Higher than a rocket turret. Armour: Medium. The Holtzman Turret is resistant to bullet and explosive weapons, but vulnerable to missiles and high-caliber guns. Purpose: Base defense. As the Holtzman field has an adverse effect on sandworms, defensive shields and suspensors have a very limited use on Dune. However, the technicians of IX have developed a use of the suspensor-nullification effect in the form of a turret. The suspensors in the Holtzman Turret accelerate a depleted uranium shell to a velocity far greater than what can be achieved by a chemical explosion. This resulting shell round is deadly to most vehicles. The Holtzman Turret would still cause sandworms to go mad, and destroy the source of the Holtzman field, which is why this technology would be impractical on a tank, and is why it is limited on turrets only, as bases are safe from sandworms (bases are built on rock). |
| Appearance: Looks a bigger gun turret, with a larger barrel. |
| Other Info: The Holtzman Turret can destroy all vehicles in one hit, except siege tanks (if they have the same amount of armour as it Dune 2), devastators and harvesters. However, the Holtzman Turret is not effective against infantry units. |
Amoured Silo
| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |
| Name: Amoured Silo |
| Abilities: Type: Armoured spice storehouse Requires: Refinery & updated construction yard Amour: Medium. Armoured silos are vulnerable to most types of weapons, but are twice as strong as normal silos. Power requirements: Same as a normal silo. Capacity: 50% more a normal silo, but is requires more concrete slabs. Cost: 25% more than a normal silo. Purpose: The Spacing Guild, concerned about House attacks on other House's Silos, hence lost of valuable Spice, made the Armoured Silo available for each House, to help protect against further lost in Spice. The Spacing Guild is subsidising the Armoured Silo (to encourage use), hence the lower cost per amount of Spice stored. The Armoured Silo performs like a normal silo, in that, when the refinery completes processing, Spice is automatically distributed evenly among the silos. When harvested Spice exceeds Silo capacity, the excess will be lost. When Armoured Silos are attacked and destroyed or captured, the amount stored will be deleted from your account. |
| Appearance: Like a normal silo, but larger and with a more 'stronger' apperance (ie. internal walls etc) |
| Other Info: Only available about 2/3 through a single player game, and in multiplayer games, at a high tech level. |
Richese Industries Minelayer Mark III
| Sent by: MrX |
| House: All |
| Name: Richese Industries Minelayer Mark III |
| Abilities: Type: Minelayer Requires: Heavy factory and repair pad Weapon: Mines. Each House has a different type of mine (see units other information below) Weapon Range: N/A Speed: 44 km/hr Armour: Medium. Minelayers are resistant to bullets, but vulnerable to missiles and high caliber guns. Purpose: The minelayer carries five mines and can be reloaded at the repair pad. |
| Appearance: As in Red Alert, but with a 'Dune feel' |
| Other Info: Types of mines: Atreides: Anti-tank mine (as in Red Alert) destroys all vehicles except the siege tank, devastator, and harvester outright, but does not effect infantry units. Harkonnen: Claymore type mine. The mine triggers off when an enemy unit goes near the mine. The mine explodes a large number of metal balls, in an arc towards the unit, killing all types of infantry instantly, trikes and quads would be significantly damage (in the yellow), and other units slightly damage. Ordos: The mine explodes a combination of enzymes and acids onto the unit. The acids and enzyme eats through metals and skin, slowly damaging the unit. It is enough to destroy all infantry units, trikes and quads. Combat tanks, missile tanks, sonic tanks, would be badly (half hit points left) damage, while the other ground units would suffer significant damage (about 2/3 left). Would suffer significant damage |
Anti-Missile Defense System
| Sent by: Ashmaal |
| House: All |
| Name: Anti-Missile Defense System |
| Abilities: This is just a 3X3 structure which when built can build Anti-Nuke missles. It would take about 10 min to build one anti-nuke missile, but once built it would automatically intercept the next nuke that comes toward your base. |

| Appearance: A small golden metallic tile held in the air by many beams. |
| Other Info: Each one would cost 200 credits, and it's armor would be very light. It can also be built on the sand and catch energy reflecting off the sand. It ust be adjacent to the rest of you base still. If built on the sand each one would provide 100 power. This makes it very vulnerable, but can be a bridge to nother rock base without using a Mobile Construction thingy. |

| Name: The Angel |
| Abilities: Fire Rockets successfully at a close range and smash Combat Tanks and smaller units with fists or feet. Basically the same as tanks run over infantry. It can shoot ariel units. Also it is immune to the Sonic Tank's Sound Wave attack due to high durability and new Echo Technology. |

| Other Info: It would move at normal infantry Movement Rate, and have armor equal to a palace. Of course it would cost around 1500 credits and would not be able to be repaired in a repair facility, but mechanics could repair at an extreamly slow rate. It's sight range would be double the Siege Tanks Sight Range too. |

House Guardsman
| Sent by: Tyson |
| House: All Houses |
| Name: House Guardsman |
| Abilities: The House Guardsmans' duty is the protection of his Lord. Like the Sardaukar or the Fremen, they can not be bought or trained (except, perhaps, in multiplayer missions). Although their firepower is nothing spectacular, perhaps equal to that of a Heavy Trooper, but they have above average hit points, speed, range, and rate of fire. Thus they have good survivability and should be used primarily as defensive units. |
| Appearance: My inspiration for these troops came from the book when Baron Harkonnen refused to believe that the Fremen were defeating his troops and the Sardaukar and claimed that they must have been Atreides specially trained by Hawat. They also somewhat counter the effects of the Sardaukar and the Fremen, allowing for well balanced play. Of course, the Fremen and Sardaukar will be more numerous or have some other specific advantage so not to distract from their purpose in the game. |
| Other Info: None. |

| Sent by: Neil Rudd |
| House: All |
| Name: Atomic Weapons |
| Abilities: Able to destroy small structures in a single explosion. Larger structures may require several explosions. Main use to destroy windfarms. |
| Appearance: A single person, with one atomic weapon, who can sneak into a base and place the atomic weapon. After he has placed it, its on a 5 second fuse so he can run away. Once the unit has placed his weapon, he has to return to base to get another. Once he has used this ability, the enemy base becomes aware of him and he finds its harder to get in the base again. |
| Other Info: Only one atomic weapon may be used per level. If the person dies, they can not build another until the next level. The weapon would cost the same amount as a large tank. |

Transport Thopter
| Sent by: Joe |
| House: All Houses |
| Name: Transport Ornithopter |
| Abilities: The transport ornithopter could transport infantry units, kind of like the transport helicopter in Red Alert. It could carry a reasonable number of troops, enough to make an opponent worried, but not enough to make it impossible to defend. |
| Appearance: Just like the regular ornithopter, except it would be bigger and have a larger wingspan. |
| Other Info: My inspiration for this unit was from a scene in the book where one of these ornithopters makes an appearance. Although it might not be glamourous it would be useful for diversions and sneak attacks. |
