	Your start point will be usually on the bottom left. Defend two points, the top right and top left of your area to keep enemies out. Map also for multiplayer, 2 to 8 players. Also, restart till you have a center start position for greater challenge with 5 AI's.


	'Paul Muad'dib is the universe's perfect being- the Kwisatz Haderach.  
	In union with the Fremen tribes he has defeated the Imperium backed Harkonnans. 
	Paul Muad'dib has taken the Imperial throne. He and his legions of Fremen direct political control of the known universe from Arrakis, "the center of the universe". 
	The spice melange is found exclusively on Arrakis. This spice is necessary to space travel. With the spice, Guild Navigators are able to shorten distances by "folding space". Also, an estimated nine billion inhabitants of the universe are addicted to the spice. To go without the spice after moderate use could mean death.
	The deposed emperor and his Bene Gesserit truthsayer are banished, most of the emperor's allies and retinue scattered to the ends of the universe. The Imperium now consists of Shaddam IV's daughter, Irulan, wed to Paul Muad'dib. The bond is political only. Chani, daughter of Lief-Kyles, is Paul's beloved. 
	Shaddam IV still has a planet and one legion of Sarduakar. He is, after all, Paul Mua'dib's father in law. 
	The Guild pressures and can afford to pay for most of the spice harvest. While Emperor Paul Muad'dib and Fremen harvest as much spice as they can, areas of Arrakis remain untouched.
For further revenue, and a show of goodwill to the Landsraad, Emperor Paul Muad'dib will allow Houses of the Landsraad and other factions to harvest spice on Arrakis. 
	A Guild Heighliner will bring you, and other representatives of these factions, to Arrakis. This planet is also known as Dune.
