Hey that's a very nice project. I always wished a Dune 2 with multiplayer.
Would be nice to have something like a classic / old rules mode, so that you can't control
ornitopthers for example. if you want to have that pure original dune 2 feeling but still with better controls and multiplayer. :)
but really great work!
cheers

Classic rules should also include things like, say, rocket turrets as powerful as they were in the original game. They used to fire about 2.5x faster than a regular tank, but now they fire slowly as hell and barely threaten even my fragile sonic tanks as they mow down an enemy base.

ornithopters are way unbalanced, not sure the original code for how ornithopters should work is still in the repo or why it was changed tbh. might need to hunt down the original ornithopter code and reintroduce it. i would say the original ornithopters sucked but then again the new "meta" (at least how i wrote qbot and smart bot) don't build power plants and only build rocket turrets if they don't require power, so actually the old ornithopers could be a good balance against that

Agree. It's a pity that it can't also play the original rules. Ornitopthers in particular are overpowered and affect the game a lot.
Agreed. The new Ornis are unbalanced, anyway.

Yes, the balance is either:
Legacy rocket turret vs old ornith
Or
Old rocket turret vs legacy ornith
