Dune2 - how much in this sound, for the heart of the Russian merged ...

A bit of history from Wiki Dune2 :
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty is one of the first real-time computer strategy games. The game was released back in 1992, it required an i80286 processor, a VGA video card, 7 MB of free hard disk space and MS-DOS.

Although this game is not the first in the genre, it has established a format for real-time computer strategy games. The following elements of Dune II have become the standard strategy game:

A user interface that includes a minimap and a command bar.
Economic model (building a base, collecting resources, building troops, a technological tree).
The differing capabilities of the warring parties.
World map on which the direction for the next battle is selected.
"Fog of war" hiding uncharted territory.

All remakes offer:
- New campaigns
- Higher resolution than the original
- Rubber frame for units
- Improved GUI

DUNE IV contains 5 episodes with a total number of missions 56, and is designed for a game time of more than 40 hours.

There are such missions when several alliances are united against you, and there are also such missions when each alliance is for itself. There are levels with a time limit. There are also missions where the player will require resourcefulness and dexterity in command of the troops to complete the task.
