Are tanks and light vehicles a possibility?

[Edward Cullen]

I miss tanks and trikes and quads from the 2000s games and would love to see them in this as like an IX faction thing. Having the research center potentially be a place to spend resources to get vehicles and have batteries also be used as part of their costs.

The devs seem to be dead set against it.

[Machiavelli]

The worms would eat them.

It's too bad, because quads and trikes make a lot of sense.

Nope, aerial vehicles fill both of these roles.

Here is an interesting list of canon and also non-canon vehicles of Dune:

I expect there is a few issues, supply system would become not balanced the way they want it, how do you handle the infantry vs the tanks, and what are the benefits to the game.

The way I see it is that the game is primarily economy, diplomacy and spy management with a bit of battle thrown in.

But i have noticed people wanting this to become more like an RTS.

It is a 4X-RTS Hybrid, leaning signifigantly more into the 4X side.

Most of my missions I dont even combat other factions, if its an RTS its a weird one, I agree with the jedi knight.
