Among other projects inspired by the world of Saga _ Dune _ from Frank Herbert, Dune Spice Wars takes the form of a 4x real-time strategy game developed by Shiro Games , in particular articulated around the control of the planet Arrakis and its main resource, the spice. In Dune: Spice Wars, several playable factions will be available and in the lot, we can opt for the formidable Harkonnen House .

Like the lovers of the license know, the Harkonn House is renowned for its ambition but also its lack of scruple and its brutality on battlefields. Originally from the Industrial Giedi Prime Planet, the Harkonns House is led by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen , one of the richest members of the Landsraad and probably the most dangerous rival of the Duke Leto Atreides.

In Dune: Spice Wars, the Faction Gameplay rests on its military power on the battlefield and its lack of hesitation to use the most retorting tactics - whether it's political intrigues, murders or espionage, torture or blackmail... According to Shiro Games, the Harkonns "know how to run long-term plans to earn wars without having to trigger themselves" and baron is a cunning conspirator able to exploit the weaknesses of his enemies.

The military power of the Harkonns nevertheless limits: the indoctrination of their troop turns the soldiers from the faction into fanatical war machines without reflection.

In the game, each faction has the opportunity to choose two advisers to strengthen some of its abilities. Players who opt for the Harkonnens House will have the choice between several profiles: Feyd-Rautha , expert in the use of charm and political manipulation; Rabban, follower of permanent pressure on the populations governed by the harkonns to maximize profits; The Mentat Pieter de Vries , expert to build spies networks and organize operations to harm the enemies of the big house; Or finally, Iakin Nefud , who manages the Harkonnens armies using men as cannon flesh, but with unparalleled military results.

The Harkonns also have various troops:

• _Troopers armed with sharp blades, which can enter a Berserker rage when injured, thus ignoring the pain and increasing their strength while they are about to die;
• Artiliers Experts in demolition, equipped with experimental explosive weapons manufactured in secret... and which inflicts such damage that their troops are often injured or even killed by their own shots;
• _Vanguards, masters of combat and ruthless assassins, who deceive blood from their victim and eliminate them after the others;
• Stealth probes, inexpensive stealth probes and disposable only for spying and killing in the shadows;
• Finally, the main armed force of the Baron lies in the garde of the house, ruthless killers, stunning war machines that follow and execute without hesitation the orders given to them.
