А very helpful reference text for the Genesis version of this game: http://ledmeister.com/dunexref.htm
Some notes on atreides 4th mission.
- Unlike other buildings, CPU never rebuild vehicle factories.
- As soon as one of the buildings is destroyed, the computer will receive some amount of spice and start repairing other buildings (and produce units/rebild destroyed buildings). Perhaps it happens in other missions (didn't check). So it's better to destroy/capture both vehicle factories simultaneously.
- If you destroy enemy harvesters, there is a possibility that no enemy tank will ever attack the base ().
- The idea of sending a unit to the center of the enemy base (when enemy tanks help to destroy its own factory) does not work - the game begins to lag really hard. Perhaps the enemy units are constantly trying to find the path to our unit, and because of this, the CPU is heavily loaded.
- A big two-layer spice area on the left-bottom of the base is guarded by a worm. It does not attack unless you comes to his territory. For speedrun it is enough spice located on the left-top from the base.

The tanks that protect the spice zone haunt only those units that have visited the tank-protected area, ignoring all other units. After finishing the hunt, the tanks will return to the base, even if they are attacked by other units. So it's possible to destroy tanks harmless by driving from the red zone to the green and back (and using units in blue zone for attack).
I made the program that allows you to see cells guarded by enemy units in Atreides mission 6: https://www.speedrun.com/tools/Dune_II_Sega_Unit_Ranges_v0.1_46jrd.zip
Какой эмулятор Genesis использовать для записей? Which Genesis emulator to use for recordings?
