Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty Hints
Mission #7: Get Rough
This is the mission where everything starts to get tough. You can now build a House of IX, which lets you build the special units for each side. As the Atredies and Harkonnen, build an almost equal combination of special units (Sonic Tanks or Devastators, depending) and Siege Tanks, and a handful of Rocket Launchers. When you get a Starport, buy everything you need from there unless you absolutely need it now, or it costs too much to purchase. From this point on, use the same tactics you have in other missions to demolish the enemy bases. Yes, there is more than one. However, they still have their unit limit, so expect less unit defense in each base. But watch for the Turrets! Once one base is destroyed, deploy an MCV over there, and make only a Heavy Vehicle Factory (and Refinery, if there is enough spice nearby). This will allow you to make units at your new base.
