FOUR HOUSES Who you’ll be playing as, and scheming against, in Dune: Spice Wars
ATREIDES
Leader: Duke Leto
Atreides
Key strengths/
weaknesses: Can peacefully
annex territories, but cannot
pillage neutral villages.
If you want to prioritise politics
over warfare, Atreides is the
faction to play as.
HARKONNEN
Leader: Baron Vladimir
Harkonnen
Key strengths/
weaknesses: Can use Oppression ability
on villages, but loses resource
production without active militia.
Nobody likes you, but oppressing
villages gets results, strengthening your
army and bolstering your stable of spies.
THE FREMEN
Leader: Liet Kynes
Key strengths/
weaknesses: Slower
military supply drain, but limited access
to political Landsraad.
Expert desert warriors, the Fremen are
largely excluded from politics but can
ally with independent sects around the
map to gain authority.
THE SMUGGLERS
Leader: Esmar Tuek
Key strengths/
weaknesses: Can
place underworld headquarters in
enemy villages, but limited access to
political Landsraad.
Money rules everything, including
your army of pricey but powerful and
plentiful mercenaries.
