Dune: Spice Wars

Real-time strategy with 4X elements set on Arrakis, where you lead a faction fighting for control of spice. You'll balance military force with diplomacy—forming alliances, deploying spies to gather intel, and sabotaging rivals through covert operations. The political layer runs parallel to combat: decisions at the negotiation table can shift power as much as battlefield victories. Expect to manage resources, expand territory, and navigate Frank Herbert's universe without the safety of a pause button. Each faction plays differently, and the desert itself poses constant threats. This suits players who want strategic depth beyond pure combat, where espionage and political maneuvering aren't optional side systems but core tools for dominance.
