- You have to build a starport; if you do, then your upgraded
- construction yards will offer the Ix as an option. It seems that you
- need to have one of just about every sort of structure in order to get
- all possible choices of units.
-
- I just finished the Ix level (also as Atreides), so I don't know about
- the palace, but I would guess you need a starport and an Ix to get a
- palace.

-
- Yow! I've never hit a limit on number of structures, and I've played
- the Atreides through level 8 building some _large_ complexes. How
- many buildings are you _making_???

-
- If you have an Ix, you get access to the Sonic Tank in a heavy
- factory, and you can make ornithopters in an upgraded high tech
- factory. Not that ornithopters are useful at all, because they get
- shot down from all the way across the battlefield....
