Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty Hints
Mission #8: I've run out of Spice!
In Mission 8, you fight against the other two houses at the same time. Just deal with them as you would in the earlier levels -- this isn't the hard part about this level. As the title indicates, you WILL run out of spice, making this the hardest level in the game. For this reason, play money monger. For instance, only buy Siege Tanks and Rocket Launchers from Starports when they're at low prices. Although you can only buy so many until they're out of stock, waiting for them will greatly benefit your credits. Also, don't really bother making High Tech Factories. Ornithopters are stupid, and you can usually get Carry-Alls cheaper at Starports. And don't bother with Light Vehicle Factories, Barracks, or WORs. And make your special unit sparingly. MCV's from the Starport will help you set up bases near other spice areas. And this is pretty much the only mission where I say to don't make more than two refineries (unless your harvesting at another of your bases).
Go spare on Carry-Alls, unless you are certain you need money FAST. And try to destroy enemy Harvesters often, because they drop spice, it denies money to the bad guys, and they have to spend a little more money to make another one. One final tip: go easy on the Turrets!
