All Unlimited Units, UFO's, and Dune TA UNITS are made by Hitman Neverlose.  Please visit his website.
 
     
  DUNE TA Description  
   Dune:TA is a total conversion for Total Annihilation. That means your TA can be changed to Dune 2 with a few files. Arm will be Atreides and Core is Harkonnen. Ordos is left out because of problems with creating a third side and the Deviator missile launcher which should "capture" units for some time. Dune:TA also works with AI players, though the AI is not the best possible opponent. 1 map is included with the ufo.

    DUNE TA The Gameplay
     
        You can play Dune:TA against AI or a human opponent. The AI isn't very clever opponent but at least it does something. The best way to get a good game is to wait a few minutes for the AI to build some defenses. The AI is very addicted to metal (eh...Spice) and it's always after new deposits. Anyway you can also play against human opponents, which is a lot harder. Don't underestimate the AI though.
    In the TA options menu, you might want to disable shading, or the walls and some other buildings might have black and white faces.
     
       
     
    DUNE TA Recommendations
     
       Hitman recommends the Bordu map made by Padington. It's small but fits in with its style. Get it from TAMEC. The latest DTA.zip should also contains a map that was made with the Bordu tileset. You should be able to play Dune:TA on any map but we recommend desert maps because Dune:TA units were textured to fit on desert maps. ISJX_Desert is also a very good map to play with this conversion.
