After 9 months of development version 0.6.0 has been released!
In a nutshell this version brings the following new features:
- A rewritten AI for campaign and skirmish mode.
- Support for 128×128 Skirmish maps
- Improved air unit behavior (for carry-alls dropping, flying in general, etc)
- Introducing all super weapons: Fremen support for Atreides, Saboteur for Ordos and the Deathhand for Harkonnen
- and much more…
The full changelog can be found here.
Download
You can grab version 0.6.0 (d2tm.zip file) from here. Unpack, and execute. And you’re on your way. Be sure to read the wikipage so you know some of the hotkeys (like repairing, etc).
Special thanks
I want to thank the Ripps and others at Discord (playtesting and providing general feedback) for their efforts. Without your help I wouldn’t have got this far. Thanks!
Feedback
If you want to provide feedback, you can email me, use Twitter (handle @dune2themaker), our Discord or post your feedback at the forums. Another way is creating a Github ticket (if you’re able).

Finally
After releasing 0.5.0 I felt like continuing. It really was satisfying seeing D2TM getting back into shape. With the new zooming and higher resolutions it felt more modern. I hope to bring you another big improvement with 0.6.0
This version took me 9-10 months of 2-3 nights a week (on average) and I enjoyed every minute of it. On to the next version! 🙂
