Sweetest soundtrack in RTS. Fix the main menu issues, add widescreen support, put all three discs + map packs in one package, get multiplayer up and it'd be sick. Your choice is simple, for the moment.
This game got me into the strategy genre and it is probably one of the most fun RTS games I've ever played. I'd love to see it brought back because setting it up to actually work on modern systems manually is a pain and relies on quite a bit of 3rd party software. I think Emperor is a game that absolutely deserves to be preserved.
One of the best early 3D RTS games and a great continuation of Westwood's Dune series. Seeing this game basically become abandonware is so disappointing to me, this underrated gem needs to be made available again so more people can discover it! Westwood fans should play this.
Imagine Dune setting with CnC Generals engine. A very good RTS, cool story, cool units. With 5 smaller houses to choose from and has impact on the battles. Mighty worm attacks i remember! Would be great to bring it back. Was stable and quite bug-free!
If we don't get this game on GoG it will be a terrible loss. I remember some of the missions that was quite unique and very well written.
Good gameplay, story, music and its Dune universe!
Amazing RTS, unforgettable hours fighting Harkonens. Great music, a must-have on GOG!
Emperor: Battle for Dune is the best RTS of all time for a number of reasons. First, it is a very well-balanced game. Each of the factions has its own strengths and weaknesses, and no one faction is clearly superior to the others. This makes for a very fair and competitive game.
Second, Emperor: Battle for Dune has a lot of depth. There are many different units and buildings to choose from, and each one has its own unique abilities. This allows for a lot of strategic diversity. You can tailor your army to your own playstyle, and there are many different ways to win the game.
Third, Emperor: Battle for Dune is a very challenging game. The AI is very competent, and you will need to be at your best if you want to win. This makes for a very rewarding experience.
Finally, Emperor: Battle for Dune is a very moddable game. There are many different mods available that add new units, buildings, and gameplay mechanics. This allows you to customize the game to your own liking.
Overall, Emperor: Battle for Dune is a great game that offers a lot of replay value. It is a must-play for any fan of the RTS genre.
i have never played any dune game and i would love to be able to play this old game after all these years a legend of the RTS and being able to buy it and own it forever would be amazing since only GoG can be trusted with old games since you know you guys are not going to have hiden melwear and the like
One of the best games I have played, and the one that got me hooked to the genre. No game since this one has ever completely scratched the rts itch for me, and I still to this day keep the CDs and play from time to time. It would be great to have it digitally though! (please do not forget the patch however :D ) one of the best gaming memories!

Medieval: Total WarExperience the middle Ages in all their blood-soaked magnificence. From the lush grasslands of Western Europe to the arid deserts of Northern Africa, from the first Crusade to the fall of Constantinople, implement diplomacy, utilize trade, espionage and assassinations, spread your religion and wage total war in order to expand your influence and secure your reign as you build a dynastic empire to stretch across four centuries.
Total War is the follow on from 2000’s Shogun- Total War. As with Shogun the game is split into two sections – the turn-based campaign map wherein the player is required to make strategic decisions, recruit and move armies, besiege settlements, fight naval battles and employ agents such as emissaries, spies and assassins to aid with diplomacy, offer alliances or bribes, or execute rather more clandestine actions.
Religion is important in the game and whether a faction is Muslim, Orthodox or Christian will affect allegiances and public loyalty – as a catholic nation the player must carry out the wishes of the Papal States, embarking on a holy war if need be or else run the risk of excommunication. If public order and loyalty should fall too low in a particular region a rebellion or a civil war may occur – in these situations the player may decide to side with the rebels or the current rulers to quell the rebellion or overthrow a tyrannous regime-Fantasy Historical Warfare 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth
