HOW TO PLAY
SELL BUTTON & SELLING
To sell a building, left-click on the $ button in the Sidebar.The mouse cursor will turn into
a gold $ sign. When the cursor is over a building that can be sold it will rotate. Left-click
on the building you want to sell. It will deconstruct, and you’ll be credited a percentage of
the structure’s original cost.
BE CAREFUL! As long as the cursor is in $ mode, any building you left-click on will be
deconstructed and sold! To cancel out of $ mode, right-click.
RADAR BUTTON & RADAR
If you have not built an Outpost, you will see your side’s insignia (the Atreides Hawk, the
Ordos Snake, or the Harkonnen Ram) where active radar appears. With radar active you
will see a small map of all the revealed areas of the battlefield. In multiplayer mode the radar
button toggles you between displaying radar and displaying additional information on your
enemy.
GUARD BUTTON & GUARDING
If you wish your units to guard a certain area, select the units by clicking or grouping them
together, and left-click on the Shield icon. These units will be more aggressive in defending
the surrounding area, and in responding to enemy attacks that may not threaten them
immediately. Hitting the “G” key while units are selected will also put them in guard mode.
RETREAT BUTTON & RETREATING
If you find yourself in a losing battle, and wish to quickly gather your troops and regroup,
simply select your units and left-click on the Retreat button. Your units will immediately
stop attacking and return to your base. This can be helpful if you wish to repair specific
units such as Harvesters, but don’t have time to guide them back to your base.
Hitting the “R” key while units are selected will also put them in retreat mode.
