Emperor: Battle for Dune – Harkonnen Structures

House Harkonnen lacks any sympathy for either its enemies or its own forces, and relies on brute force to accomplish their goals. Its special weapons are the most destructive pieces of technology: the Devastator, the Death Hand missile, and Inkvine Catapults.

 

Structures can only be built on dark terrain.

Structures

unknownConstruction Yard
Cost: $2000 (MCV) | Power: 0 | Prerequisites: none
The heart of every base is the Construction Yard. This structure is responsible for the creation of all other buildings in your base, from simple walls to the technologically-advanced Palaces. Because this building controls your ability to expand your base and acquire new technologies, the wise commander protects it at all costs and at all times. In many missions, you will start with a Construction Yard already in place, while in others you will begin with an MCV and must deploy it to begin building. Unlike other structures in the game, it does not need a concrete foundation, as it comes with its own when deployed.

Harkonnen Wind TrapWind Trap
Cost: $225 | Power: +100 | Prerequisites: none
While some of your buildings, like your Construction Yard, provide their own power, most do not. To get them to operate at peak efficiency, you must provide them with power. Wind Traps put out a good deal of energy, but larger bases will require multiple Wind Traps to operate effectively. They are physically weak and critically important, and they give less power when damaged, so keep them well-guarded.

Harkonnen RefineryRefinery
Cost:
$1500 | Power: -40 | Prerequisites: Wind Trap
Your Harvesters need somewhere to take the ore they collect. That place is the Refinery, a structure at the very heart of your economic operation. A filled Harvester will return to the Refinery to dump its load of ore before returning to the field. This ore is then converted into credits, which you can use to purchase structures and units. Each Refinery comes with a free Harvester and Carryall. Build more Harvesters and Refineries to make more money. Unlike the previous titles, Refineries do not have a finite capacity for credits, and can be upgraded with up to two additional pads.

Harkonnen BarracksBarracks
