3rd attempt in remaking Dune II 
day 11
okay long time I didn't update this worklog 
I had some very importent guests ^_^
and lots of doing lately ^_^ but! it doesnt means that we didn't continue our project
[x] multiplayer is supported now, we have connection between people who doesn't use windows vista >_< because vista allways crash for no reason...
shortly it is possible to host or join yey
[x] we have shooting function now ^_^
units can fire burst fire at there enemys and it looks great hahaha, I drew some awsome bullete hit smoke and mazzle shot and Ecko programed a unique way to make it all work realy perfect and now were working on "shooting modes"
Scouts In Action!
[x] for some reason buildings were shooting enemys by them self, so now we stoped them from chasing and firing at enemys so it apears that they forgot there job in the game hehe 
[o] 90% progress on terrian tiles have been done so far
I just need to finish the spice tiles and the slow sand tiles! and everything else is just add-on decoratives! I have the sand\rocky tiles and cliffs done! with 2 types gfx
[o] shooting effects need to be worked on - adding another process to handle mazzle shots (flashs)
[o] map editor is in progress
[o] we gonna use flowting gui for everything thats much more modern - I hope it will be original XD

Mind, I'm an orange-tank-wielding maniac.
Will the unit balance be the same as in Dune 2?

we intend making the units more usable... for example - infantry won't be totaly helpless vs tanks like in dune 2.
I want the player to use several units in order to win, and not make him send the same unit type into battle and win the game (like in redalert :P)
well we hope that the unit balance will be similar to dune2 balance, but yet improved so people won't play only with the "mighty" units
all units are mighty hehehe XD
btw Rince, orange-tanks break faster then other tanks XD hahahahahah

I hope you achieve the several units goal; I hate that of RTSes I know that building massive amounts of one unit does the trick, like you say.
Infantry isn't really useful against a tank IRL, I think.

Churning out massive amounts of one unit type or massive amounts of several unit types that support each other (for example horses courted by archers) in games where the rock-paper-scissor system is really strong makes little difference in my experience. You'll all be dominated shortly.
