Just letting people here know that Dune Wars, a mod for Civilization IV is released. It is has been a long time without a Dune game so hopefully this will fill some of the void. This is a work in progress, and players' feedback is continuing to shape the mod.
Very cool indeed, what are the minimum specs? I've a funny feeling that my ageing PoS wont cut it. :/ Any chance you could port it to the Civ II engine.
Do not be quick to reveal judgment. Hidden judgment is often more potent. It can guide reaction whose effects are felt only when too late to divert them. - Bene Gesserit Advice to Postulants
My own PC that I use to develop and test graphics for the mod is a 2003 vintage Pentium 4, albeit with an upgrading graphics card. Civilization IV was released in 2005 so it has been around a while.
Official minimum and recommended specs can be found here.
It's a great load of fun, although it obviously needs improvement and corrections. Like Ix being a house and other stuff.

I've just ordered the game. I played Civ3 alot and actually made a dune mod for CivII (didn't upload it anywhere).
