Attention, friends of desert strategy! The conquest mode is finally available in Dune Spice Wars. Choose your house, plan your course, and prepare for numerous dangerous obstacles. In addition to the conquest mode, new tutorials, resource management updates, and many other exciting changes await you. Let's take a look!

Conquest mode - The battle for Arrakis begins

The conquest mode was developed to provide high replayability, challenge, and progression. You take control of one of the great houses (Atreides, Harkonnen, or Corrino) and fight your way through a series of unique scenarios and situations. You can customize your house with a variety of advantages that allow for more interesting approaches to the many challenging objectives and guarantee a unique gaming experience every time.

New Tutorials for Beginners

To make it easier to get started with the complex strategy game, five new tutorials have been added to teach you the basics of the game. This way, you will learn everything important about control, exploration, siege and expansion, spice harvesting, as well as water and maintenance.

Faction Updates: Bonuses and Characters

The developers have changed some bonuses for Harkonnen, Smugglers, and Corrino, and also reworked some characters.

Economic Balance and Resource Management

The resources Solari, Plascrete, and Fuel Cells have been adjusted and reworked to better balance the economy. The focus is now more on spice as a central game element.

Building Upgrades for Each House

Each faction now has a new unique village building. There are new main buildings and revisions of old buildings to bring more variety to the game.

Politics: Contracts and Resolutions

The effects of contracts have been changed, and there are many new and improved resolutions to strengthen your political influence on Arrakis.
