Game Plan:-

Game starts in the palace

   ╖    Talk to Leto
     He will ask you to find Gurney, who is in one of the
     sietches around the palace.
   ╖    Talk to Jessica
     She will tell you of the properties of the spice you
     are mining and muse about the effects of it on you.
   ╖    Talk to Duncan Idaho
     He will note that there is no spice left, and
     something has to be done.  He suggests that you try
     and recruit the Fremen in the nearby sietches to
     mine for the family.

╖    Go to Carthag Harg and RFS
╖    Go to Carthag Tuek.  RFS.  Gurney Halleck is here, ask
 him to return to the palace with you

     When you arrive at the palace, Leto notes you have
     Fremen mining spice, congratulates you,  and tells
     you to keep an eye on them.  He then asks you to
     search for a stillsuit which keeps moisture in when
     you?re in the desert.
   ╖    Talk to Gurney.  He will tell you that the Fremen in
     Carthag Tuek mentioned a stillsuit maker

╖    Return to Carthag Tuek and talk to the Fremen chief.  He
 will comment on your interest in the stillsuit, and tell you
 of a stillsuit maker in a nearby sietch.
╖    Fly eastwards to discover Tuono Tabr and the stillsuit
 maker.  He will give you some stillsuits and explain their
 operation.  He will then tell you of two other sietch leaders
 willing to meet you (Tuono Tuek and Carthag Tabr).  He will
 also mention that there is a harvester there and say it would
 be easier with the troop using it.  Click on the modify
 equipment option and give the troop the harvester to use.
 Note the difference in spice production

╖    Go to Carthag Timin and RFS.  This troop is v. important
 as they are able to ?prospect? for spice, discovering the
 amount of spice located in the area around a particular
 sietch.
  This allows you to send other troops to the most abundant
 areas of spice.  They give you a map showing the spice
 density of the sietches you have already visited.  As they
 move around the planet this map is automatically updated.
 When the chief has finished explaining, send the troop
 eastwards to Tuono Tuek.
╖    Return to the palace.

     Leto will praise you and ask you to go with Jessica
     and search the palace.  She is in the room in front
     of the Throne Room.  Ask her to go with you, and you
     will both discover the communications room.  Leto
     will make speech praising your efforts re: the
     Fremen recruitment.  Jessica will be exhausted from
     sounding out the rooms so tell her to stay in the
     comms room.  Duncan will say that mining would be
     more efficient if you had a spice harvester.  He
     will then recall that you mentioned about a
     harvester at a sietch and ask you to look for more
     of them if possible.

╖    Go to Carthag Tabr and RFS.  Send them to Tuono Tabr

╖    Go to Tuono Tabr and talk to the Fremen chief there.  He
 will tell you that the troop found the harvester in an
 abandoned sietch north-east of them.  He will give you
 directions to Tuono Harg.
╖    Go to Tuono Tuek and RFS.  They will say that the area
 needs to be prospected, but that?s OK because you?ve sent the
 prospectors there anywhere and they?re well on their way.
 Change their occupation and send them looking for equipment,
 they will head towards Tuono Harg as that?s the nearest sietch
 with a harvester.
╖    Go SouthWest to discover Tuono Clam.  A very rich sietch
 in spice terms.  The prospectors should have arrived at Tuono
 Tuek by now
╖    Go to Tuono Tuek and send the prospectors to Tuono Clam.

╖    Go back to Tuono Clam and wait for the prospectors to
 arrive.  Give them a crysknife and an orni, they?ll be really
 pleased with the Olin and it?ll make their prospecting easier
 with quicker movement between sietches.
╖    Go to Tuono Tabr and ask the troop without a harvester
 (originally from Carthag Tabr) to search for one.  They?ll
 return with one from Tuono Clam.
      Go back to the palace.  There will be a message from the
     Emperor telling you he will be in contact regarding the first
     shipment of spice.
     ╖    Talk to Duncan.  He will ask you if you?ve seen the
     message and then say that the spice production has to be
     increased.  He will tell you that the Fremen who told you
     about the harvesters mentioned vast spice fields to the south
     of the planet.
     ╖    Talk to Gurney and he will tell you that the Fremen who
     told you about the harvesters also supplied the stillsuits
     i.e. the Fremen chief in Tuono Tabr
╖    Go back to Tuono Tabr and talk to the Fremen chief face
 to face.  He will be amused by your interest in spice and tell
 you of a sietch south-east of his.
╖    Take an orni south-eastwards to discover Tuono Timin and
 Harah.  She will tell you about mourning for Jamis and go with
 you to show you more sietches in the south.
╖    Go to Habbanya Tuek.  RFS and send them searching for
 equipment
╖    Go to Habbanya Timin.  There will be a warm welcome here!
RFS and send them searching for equipment
╖    Go to the prospectors.  They should now be at Tuono Clam.
 Send them to Habbanya Tuek and Habbanya Timin
╖    Go to Carthag Harg and send the troop searching for
 equipment.
 Return to the palace
     ╖    Go into the Mirror Room.  Jessica will be here.  Talk to
     her.  She will notice Harah and tell you to go out into the
     desert alone.
     ╖    Tell Gurney and Harah to stay in the palace.  Harah will
     make a lot of noise, but she will stay.
╖      Walk outside past the orni and take one step away from
the palace, any further and it?s harder to remember how far
you moved.  You can die in the desert as well!
╖     Click on the wait until morning option and there will be
a picture of Leto in reverse telling you that a message has
come from the Emperor asking you for a spice shipment.
     ╖    Go to Duncan and talk to him. When he asks you to send
     the amount the emperor requires, argue with him.  He will ask
     you if you want to send all of it.  Agree and go with him to
     send the spice.  The spice will be shipped and the Emperor
     will thank you for it and tell you he will call again in 7
     days.
╖    Walk into the throne room.  Jessica will stop you and say
about the visions.  Leto will say it?s all over his head and
asks the family (including Harah) to go out onto the balcony.
He praises you about the work going on, and turns to talk to
Gurney.  He then notices Gurney is missing and asks you to try
and find Gurney with Jessica.
     ╖    Ask Jessica to go with you and walk out into the
     corridor. She will discover a room on your right, and Gurney
     will be on the floor having been laid low by a trap in the
     door to the armoury.
     ╖      Talk to Gurney and he will tell you about the trap.
╖    Talk to Jessica and tell her to stay with Gurney
     ╖    Go into the Throne Room and talk to Leto.  He will send
     you through to the communications room where Thufir Hawat is
     standing, waiting behind the holoscreens
╖    Talk to Thufir and ask him to come with you across into
the room with Gurney and Jessica.
     ╖    Talk to Thufir in the room and he will disarm the trap
     ╖    Talk to Gurney and ask him to go with you.   He will only
     go into the armoury.  If you try and go anywhere else he?ll
     say something like ?No, I have to go into the armoury?
     ╖    Go into the armoury and leave Gurney there to examine the
     weapons
     ╖    Talk to Thufir and he will ask you to try and find a
     Fremen leader to help you drive the Harkonnens off Dune
╖    Find Harah and talk to her, she will say that she?s heard
of a great leader but can?t remember his name.
╖    You should now have limited ESP (as a result of that
desert walk!) Question all the tribes re: Stilgar
╖    Go to Carthag Tuek and move the smaller group at Tuono
 Tabr to Tuono Clam.
╖    Tell the troop at Habbanya Timin to search for equipment.
 As you ask here, the chief tells you of Stilgar and his
 reputation
╖    Talk to Harah, and she will tell you that she knows where
 he was born.  Shihaya Clam now appears on the map of sietches
╖    Send the prospectors who are now at Habbanya Tuek to
 Habbanya Tabr and then back home to Carthag Timin.
╖    Go to Shihaya Clam.
╖    Talk to Harah, she will tell you to fly North-westwards
to find Stilgar?s sietch
╖    Go to Ergsun Timin and ask Stilgar to come with you.
 RFA, with Stilgar the Fremen are eager to fight for you and
 eliminate the oppressive Harkonnen regime.
╖    Arm the troop and send them to Ergsun Tsymyn
╖    Go to Ergsun Clam and RFA.  Send them to Ergsun Tsymyn
╖    Go Northwest a short distance to discover Ergsun Harg.
 Stilgar doesn?t know about this sietch.  RFA and send them to
 Ergsun Tsymyn.
╖    Go to Ersgun Tuek and RFA.  Send them to Ergsun Tsymyn
╖    ESP a troop at Ergsun Tsymyn and send them on espionage.
╖    Go to Ergsun Tabr and RFA.  Send to Ergsun Tsymyn

╖    Wait here until all recruited troops are at Ergsun
 Tsymyn.  The espionage troop will have found Bledan Tuek.
╖    Arm the largest groups with crysknifes and send them to
attack Bledan Tuek .  These form the core of your army
attacking the five forts E of the Harkonnen palace.
╖    Go to Habbanya Tabr.  RFA and send them to Carthag Harg
╖    Return to the palace
╖    Go to Thufir and talk to him.  He will tell you to take
 Gurney Halleck with you to train the Fremen so they are an
 effective fighting force
╖    Go into the armoury and ask Gurney to go with you
╖    Go into the Mirror Room and talk to Jessica.  She will
 tell you of your increase in ESP. (It?s worth talking to
 Jessica every time you go in the palace at the beginning as it
 increases the range of your ESP contact with your troops.)
╖    Go to Carthag Harg and leave Gurney there.  This is your
 training camp
╖    ESP prospectors at Carthag Timin and get them to drop the
knife.
╖    Send them to any unprospected areas in the South
╖    Any troops without any spice equipment, recruit into the
 army.  You only need 4 expert mining groups to satisfy the
 emperor?s spice demands and any debts incurred by visiting
 smuggler?s villages.
╖    Return to the palace.  A message will arrive from the
Baron Harkonnen informing you that he has devastated a sietch.
╖    Talk to Thufir.  He will make a comment about the Baron
being a long-time enemy of ours, and another message will
arrive from Feyd-Rautha despising the Fremen army and calling
them scum
╖    Thufir will tell you that it is best to attack the
Harkonnens in Stilgar?s native area and ask you to inform Leto
╖    Go to the Throne Room and talk to Leto.  He will say that
he will not listen to Thufir and takes a thopter to demand an
explanation.
╖    Talk to Duncan Idaho and he will tell you about the
Fremen needing ornis.  He will tell you of smuggler?s villages
╖    Talk to Stilgar.  He will tell you that Fremen don?t
 usually go to villages
╖     ask Harah to come with you
╖    Talk to Harah.  She will tell you about a village in the
fish?s mouth
╖    Stilgar will comment about having seen a fish-shape out
of the orni

╖    Take an orni and fly south-westwards, towards the lowest
 tip of the mouth of the fish-shape.  Harah will spot the
 village
╖    Buy one item of equipment.  This will locate the village
 on the map
╖    Go south-east a short distance and you will find a
 deserted sietch, Habbanya Clam.  There are 3 ornis here, so
 send any mining troops nearby to search for them.
╖    Talk to Harah, she will ask to go back to Tuono Timin.
 Her job is over now, you won?t see her until the end.  If you
 want a laugh, go back when Chani?s with you later in the game
 and talk to Harah.  Great reaction!
╖    Send nearby troops to search for equipment.
╖    Walk out of Tuono Timin and to one side
╖    Talk to Stilgar and he will tell you about Chani.  Oxytn
 Tabr now appears
╖    Take an orni and go to Oxytn Tabr.  Go into the sietch
 and ask Chani to come with you.  Walk out of the sietch and go
 to the right one step.  Again, too far and you?ll forget how
 many steps you took!
╖    Click on wait until evening
╖    Talk to Chani.    She will fall in love with you
(aaaah!!) and more sietches appear on the map
╖    Go to Oxtyn Tuek and RFA.  Send to Carthag Harg (your
training base)
╖    Go to Oxtyn Timin and RFA.  Send to Carthag Harg (your
training base)
╖    Go to Habbanya Harg and RFA.  Send to Carthag Harg (your
training base)
     *(While you?re  here, Jessica appears and says something
 like ?Oh, Paul! How I wish you were here at a time like this!?
 Carry onto Cemilyn Harg.)
╖    Go to Cemilyn Harg and RFA.  Send to Carthag Harg (your
 training base)
╖    Return to the palace
╖    Jessica will stop you in the stillsuit chamber and tell
 you that Leto has been shot down by the Harkonnens and killed.
 She tells you to talk to Thufir
╖    Go to the communications room and talk to Thufir.  He
tells you that the ornis were too conspicuous and muses on how
the Fremen have managed before
╖    Move out into the corridor
╖    Talk to Stilgar.  He will invite you to ride a worm
╖    Go outside the palace and take one click back.  This will
activate the CALL A WORM option
╖    Click on call a worm and click on the palace
╖    Go to the communications room & talk to Thufir.  He feels
 that there is something more than just the worms that keep the
 Fremen hopes alive and asks you to search the palace with
 Jessica
╖    Go into the room where Gurney was caught by the trapped
 door
╖    Ask Stilgar to stay there
╖    Go to the Throne Room
╖    Ask Jessica to come with you and go into the room where
you left Stilgar
╖    She finds a door on the right
╖    Go through there and talk to Jessica.  She will be amazed
 at the greenery and tell you she wants to stay here
╖    Agree to her request  She stays there until the final
 battle
╖    Talk to Chani.  She tells you about Liet Kynes, her
 father.  She asks you to go with her and Stilgar to meet her
 father.
╖    Ask Stilgar to come with you.  If you donÆt Chani will
say ôIÆd prefer Stilgar to come with usö and wonÆt go with you
╖    Go to Oxytn Tabr
╖    Talk to Chani, she will tell you to travel westwards
beyond the rocky line.
╖    Go westwards to discover Shihaya Tuek and meet ChaniÆs
 father.  Talk to him and follow him into the bulb growing
 room.  (There will be a demand from the Emperor but ignore him
 for now)
╖    Visit the water cache
╖    Talk to Stilgar who will invite you to drink the water of
life.  At this point, refuse.
╖    Go to Shihaya Harg.  RFE and send them to Shihaya Tuek.
Give them bulbs when the windtrap is finished
╖    Go to Shihaya Timin .  RFE and send them to Shihaya Tuek.
 Give them bulbs when the windtrap is finished
╖
Return to the palace.
╖    Send the emperor 50% more than he asked for.  Do this by
 arguing with Duncan until he says ô50% more than he asked?ö
 and then agree.
╖    Go into the conservatory
╖    Talk to Jessica .  It is vital that you do this, as she
 tells you about the water of life.  Without this, you wonÆt
 win the game! Simple as that.
╖    Send troops out searching for arms
╖    Go to Tuono Tabr (nearest sietch to palace with water
cache)
╖    Go in and drink the water Stilgar offers you.  The screen
 will blank out for a few minutes and StilgarÆs face will fade
 in gradually.  DonÆt worry about it!  ItÆs meant to do that!)
╖    Return to the palace
╖    Go to the conservatory and talk to Jessica.  She will say
 how amazed she is by the powers you have and tell you that you
 should be able to talk to all the Fremen now.
╖    ESP a group at Bledan Tuek.  Arm them with krysknives and
 send them on an espionage mission
╖    Go to ôfishÆs mouthö village, Oxytn Pyons and buy some
weirding modules.
╖    ESP a troop to search for them.
╖    Order the troops at Bledan Tuek to attack Bledan Harg
╖    Go Northwest along the narrow gully just below the fishÆs
 belly to discover an abandoned sietch - Oxytn Harg.  There are
 lots of knives here!
╖    Send army troops to search for knives
╖    Go Northwest to discover the village Tsympso Pyons.  This
 is a very important village as it supplies all arms.  Buy all
 the arms you can.  DonÆt bother with spice equipment, it
 shouldnÆt be needed.
╖    Go Northeast to discover Tsympso Tsymyn.  A very
 important sietch, now referred to as TT.  Deserted but there
 are many arms including weirding modules here.  A Harkonnen
 generated disease will soon strike at the most crowded sietch,
 so the object is to make the training base the most crowded so
 it will strike there.  (see later for reasons).  It wonÆt
 strike at recently captured forts (hence sending Bledan Tuek
 troops to attack Bledan Harg, making sure that the only big
 gathering is at Carthag Harg).
╖    Divert all the troops searching for arms to TT
╖    Go to Shihaya Clam
╖    Take an ornithopter eastwards.  There is a tightly wound
 spiral of highland there.  Aim at the centre of the spiral.
 You will discover Tsymspo Harg.  RFA and send to TT.
╖    Check to see where your wandering troops are by clicking
 on the right hand mouse button. This will tell you the size,
 destination, occupation and motivation of your troop.  In the
 case of the prospectors if they are a t a sietch, it will also
 tell you how far through prospection they are.  All in all, a
 very useful tool.
╖    Send the fully-armed troop to Ergsun Tuek, a long way for
 them.  All will be clear later.
╖    One of your troops based at TT should now be either
 expert or skilled.  Make sure that they are fully armed and
 send them to the training base.  The disease should strike at
 the training base about now
╖    Go to Carthag Harg and leave Chani there to cure them
╖    Go to palace
╖    Pay any outstanding bills from the villages for arms and
so on
╖    Go to Carthag Tabr
╖    ESP the troops at TT and send them searching for weapons
╖    Take an orni Northeastwards to discover Arakeen Pyons,
 this is right by the Harkonnen zone.  Ignore StilgarÆs warning
 and the village will be on the right.  This smuggler doesnÆt
 haggle at all.
╖    Buy ALL WEAPONS AVAILABLE.  A major source of weaponry
 for the training camp
╖    When Chani sends you a message re: curing the troops at
 the training camp, send them looking for weapons.  Send one of
 the troops from TT here ready for espionage.
╖    Send the troops here searching for weapons, arm them with
 all the weapons bought from the smuggler.
╖    Arm them to weirding module level
╖    If necessary, visit the village again (but not before
 returning to the palace and paying the debt off by talking to
 Duncan Idaho.  The smuggler will not allow you to buy any
 weaponry unless you pay him for the first lot!).  You should
 aim to have 2 or 3 expert/skilled troops with kryknives,
 lasguns, and weirding modules
╖    A message will have arrived at the palace from Feyd-
 Rautha informing you that Chani has been kidnapped
╖    Go to the palace
╖    Go to the communications room
╖    Talk to Thufir - he will advise you to send a troop on an
 espionage mission to find her.  Look at the motivation of the
 Fremen as she has been kidnapped.  It goes right down.
╖    Send the troop originally from TT on an espionage
 mission.  They will find Chani at Arakeen Harg
╖    Wait until the 2 or 3 expert/skilled troops are armed to
weirding module level
╖    Order them and the espionage troop to attack the fort
╖    Tell the most experienced troop to change occupation
╖    Tell them to search for arms
╖    They will find atomics there.
╖    When the battle starts going your way, pull out the group
 with atomics and send them back to the training base
╖    When the battle is won, go to the fort and collect Chani.
 Again, note the effect on the Fremen.
╖    There will be a Fremen troop there who have been forced
 to work for the Harkonnens. RFA and send them on an espionage
 mission.
╖    ESP one of the groups at Tsympso Tsymyn and send them on
 espionage
╖    ESP one of the groups at Bledan Harg.  Send them on
espionage
╖    ESP the group you sent to Ergsun Tuek. Send them on
espionage

From now on, youÆre on your own.. There are far too many
things to be done for me to tell you.  This should take you
till about day 12 of the game, the following tips may also
help:-

General Tips

The strategy of one troop attacking and then spying allows you
to find the Harkonnen forts as swiftly as possible.  As soon
as you find a fort, send the nearest troops to attack.

 There are arms at the forts you can pick up as you work your
way through them.  It is vital that you improve the troopsÆ
arms as soon as they capture the fort.  They can only capture
2 or 3 forts with krysknifes.

There are a few villages around, IÆve found 4 or 5.  DonÆt be
afraid to send Fremen searching for arms there if there are
none at the forts.

As the forts are captured, visit them and liberate any
captured Fremen.  ItÆs easier to send them searching for
equipment and leave the rest training.

When you contact the prospectors to move them around sietches,
if there are any arms there, modify the prospectors equipment.
TheyÆll probably say something like ôThis equipment is of no
use to our current occupationö but they will take them anyway.
Then get them to prospect at recently captured forts.  Modify
their equipment again, and take the arms off them again.  As
they are specialised in prospection, they wonÆt complain about
the arms being taken off them.  This is very useful to move
arms around forts quickly

As soon as you get 5 or more troops at a fort, collect Gurney
and take him with you.  Leave him there for a
maximum of 2 days or so and he will hone the army.  Then, move
him to the next troop.   This way the troop will increase in
experience very rapidly.

As soon as the Fremen turn the fort into a sietch, move onto
the next one.

This should allow the forts to topple fairly quickly.

End Scenario

When the last fort has been captured, go to the Harkonnen
