This is an ambitious project and I'm looking forward to following it!

Until I saw the huge list in the OP, I'd actually forgotten just how mileage Westwood got out of the C&C template. 20-ish C&C games and expansions, and then there's the Dune stuff which was basically C&C in gameplay but with giant worms occasionally showing up to eat your stuff, and Ordos weirdness to replace NOD weirdness.

PS: Nod 4 lyfe.

That's a funny way to spell 'House Atriedes'.

One thing I remember about C&C is that the unit data was literally stored in a .txt file that you could open up and change pretty easily. Was much easier to beat the game when all the minigunners were bumped up to maximum damage.

FYI: The planes that deliver NOD heavy weapons can be shot down by anti-air. Not that it matters in the campaign, but in multiplayer... well, don't play NOD in the upper right corner of the map.

I remember going back through and deliberately losing missions so I could see the failure movies. Some of them are pretty funny.

Nah, they had a knockoff version of Sardaukar infantry, the real business Sardaukar showed up in the final missions when you were dealing with the Emperor's own goons.

And then got promptly run over by a harvester.
