How is single player?
Title..

I've been interested in this game for a while. Havent bothered to watch youtube vids to avoid any possible story spoilers. Does the game have a decent single player campaign that gives the game value for the money? I could really care less about pvp. I'm not fast enough in RTS games to even be a challenge so if this game is strictly built around pvp and has a horrible "late-add" campaign just to satisfy gamers that want single player then its not worth it imo.

TIA!

Currently the only single player options are a regular 2-4 person skirmish where you compete over a number of victory conditions, with no story whatsoever, and Kanly which is a sped up version for 2 players. The AI is servicable.

Whether or not that's enough for you is personal preference.

It won't be long now until a new single player mode, Conquest, will arrive. It's been hinted that this takes the form of a story based campaign but we have zero details so it would be best if you wait and see what it really is.

However it'll be save to say that it won't be tacked on or anything. Shiro only delivers quality.

So a campaign was finally released? I was under the impression that it was just sandbox atm...

The campaign is gonna be added on release and isn't gonna be slapped on there should also be a PvE mode coming out at some point aswhile so the single/coop should be strong on release right now it's just the multiplayer PvP mode (you can add bots so you don't got to play with people) but the game is way slower pace then other rts you won't need a APM of 100 for this so don't worry about not being able to keep up

It's a rush to 25k hegemony 100% of the time.

Wait a bit longer before buying this game. It's not really there yet.

Its sooo entirely not true )))
In SP its easy to get almost every victory condition possible, and SP offers a lot of replayability.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I'm assuming it's gonna be like conquest in northgard

Northgard's conquest mode is amazing, and if we can have co-op mode conquest like we did in Northgard in Dune Spice Wars, you can bet I will be recommending this game to everyone I know.

I am also mostly a single player type. Been playing Dune since it got into early access and really like it so far. The game feels pretty balanced overall.
