Dune Legacy

Dune City 1.0.850 21 October 2026

• Faster big games: large maps with many houses run about twice as fast. An 8-house 384×384 game went from about 19 to 42 fps on a MacBook Air in Low Power Mode. When the computer can't keep up, single-player games now slow down slightly instead of stuttering.
• The AI attacks in free-for-alls: QuantBot armies no longer sit in their bases when several houses play. A house now judges whether it is outnumbered against its strongest single enemy, gathers outside its own city, and a leading house goes after the weakest one. Games end with a winner far more often.
• Difficulty levels: Brutal > Hard > Medium > Easy now holds in long games. Medium attacks with its whole army, and Brutal builds a bigger economy using its higher harvester and army limits. No difficulty cheats on resources.
• Unit mixes: each house starts with a tuned unit mix (Atreides, Harkonnen, Ordos, Fremen) and a mix designed for each tech level, e.g. tank-heavy at tech 4. No unit type starts above 50% or below 2%, and the AI still adapts during the game.
• Campaign: the AI partner wins most late missions, and DuneCity missions that never finished now end. City tax credits count towards a spice quota.
• Fixed: missions in the DuneCity mod were won as soon as the city reached 500 people.
• Fixed: the Attack button or A key on a spice bloom now shoots the bloom from range instead of driving onto it.
• Removed: sharing maps to the online catalogue and browsing it. Hosting a game with your own mod still works.
• Saves from 1.0.842 still load. Multiplayer needs every player on 1.0.850.

• Unit orders: attack-move (A), patrol (Q), Hold position, Shift-queued waypoints and repeat production.
• Formations: select two or more ground units and choose Box, Pincer, Column, Staggered or Echelon in the unit panel (Ctrl+F on/off, Ctrl+Shift+F cycles). The units form up where they stand, then move, attack-move and patrol as one group at one speed. Siege tanks lead, harvesters stay out, an MCV takes the centre, and nothing stands in a sonic tank's line of fire.
• Plan building sites: queue buildings and place them in advance; they are built on the plan when ready, spread over all Construction Yards. This is a game rule (Game Rules: "Plan building sites when ordering").
• Random Skirmish: generated maps with natural terrain, clustered bases, zoned cities and nuclear power. Choose your start, an AI partner, 0-6 allies and 1-7 enemies, rock up to 100%, any installed mod and the game rules. Random army and city sizes are the same for every house.
• Multiplayer random maps: hosts choose "Random map..." in the map chooser, set the size, terrain and what every house starts with, then players join and set houses and teams in the normal lobby.
• Sidebar: the build list is a two-column grid, so a full Construction Yard fits without scrolling.
• QuantBot: escorts a moving MCV in a ring. Its attack waves keep the usual behaviour: no formation won more in 1,980 test games.
• Saves from 1.0.833 still load. Multiplayer needs every player on 1.0.842.

Dune City 1.0.833 13 October 2026

A robustness release. Every test build now runs with memory and undefined-behaviour checking, and the problems it found are fixed.

• Long games no longer make QuantBot's choice between Devastators, Sonic Tanks and Deviators unreliable. With a lot of combat history the score that ranks them overflowed and could rank them wrongly; it now stays a proper average of what each unit has achieved.
• Game graphics, animations and mentat texts are read safely regardless of how their data is laid out in the original files.
• AdLib music is generated the same way on Apple Silicon as on Intel, where negative waveform positions used to be clamped instead of wrapping.
• Tutorial hints no longer misfire for items whose numbers are above 31.
• A malformed house number in a multiplayer lobby packet is now rejected cleanly.

Existing saves remain loadable. Multiplayer protocol is 70: all peers must update together. Saves, settings and user maps remain in the separate user folder.

Dune City 1.0.832 11 October 2026

QuantBot armies now fight when their bases are attacked, instead of marching back and forth across the map. On Hard and Brutal, an attack on any building used to send the whole army after whichever enemy fired last, with orders that stopped units shooting on the way; with several colonies under attack at once, launchers and tanks kept turning around and hardly fired.

• The troops nearest the attacked building now answer it, enough of them to outweigh the attackers, and only from within a bounded distance that grows with the size of the attack.
• They travel in Hunt mode and attack any enemy they meet on the way, rather than ignoring it until they arrive. They are not sent elsewhere while they are on their way, fighting, or while enemies remain at that building.
• Units already carrying out another forced order, such as a launcher stepping back to firing range, are left to finish it.

On a reported 3waysplit save, Sardaukar launchers went from 7 shots to 296 over the same two minutes of play.

Dune City 1.0.831 11 October 2026

QuantBot now spreads its bases across the map. Once its home rock is built out or already holds two construction yards, a new MCV drives to free rock elsewhere and founds a colony there, instead of stacking more yards on the same formation.

• Colonists travel with an escort. Each MCV heading for new rock waits on its home rock until its three nearest free vehicles have gathered, then drives out with them. Escorts guard the MCV on the way and turn on anything that damages it. A colonist under fire keeps driving instead of stopping in place.
• An MCV boxed in by buildings with only diagonal exits can now find a way out and deploy. Previously it could stand idle for the rest of the match and block further MCV purchases.
• Colonising no longer waits for three rocket turrets over every outlying yard. Each new colony still orders its own turret cover once its yard stands.
• Colonists lost on the way are remembered: two recent losses pause new colonists until they age out, so the AI does not feed MCVs into a contested corridor.
• QuantBot's internal organisation was restructured with no change to its decisions; seeded AI matches produce identical decision logs before and after.
• Fixes a crash when starting a spectated game on a map that places a unit where it cannot stand, such as two sandworms on one tile. The unit is now skipped and the match starts.

Validation covered Sihaya-Ferryman Brutal-versus-Brutal matches on three seeds over 50 game minutes, with both houses founding one to three colonies and no MCV left idle at the end.

Dune City 1.0.829 10 October 2026

Ornithopters now hunt enemy combat units on Hard and Brutal, prioritising nearby launchers when their wing can engage. Easy and Medium defend their own bases and harvesters and raid enemy bases only when the approach and target are clear of observed anti-air. Autonomous ornithopters never hunt harvesters.

• Aircraft target planning shares bounded caches rather than scanning the world for every aircraft. Launchers regroup with attacking armies and recover from stalled wave orders. QuantBot reserves a mobile anti-air share when hostile aircraft are present and can build Troopers and their required infantry technology.
• Killing a high-performing enemy unit type earns a larger combat-value bonus. The bonus follows the victim type's measured performance, with bounded rewards and a fallback while evidence is scarce.
• The new Stats menu shows active units, kills, deaths and damage dealt, plus units produced, spice harvested, tax collected and population. QuantBot performance appears as xN.N, alongside each type's target army-value percentage. Observers can browse every house's Stats and Budget, with the house name visible.
• 1920 × 1080 and other supported HD render choices now appear on Retina displays. The chosen render resolution remains saved while the window fits the desktop without changing its aspect ratio. Native interface sizing remains available.
• Direct multiplayer avoids flooding a waiting peer with identical command windows, preserving immediate new-order delivery and periodic retries.
• Includes airport ambient aircraft and three additional community maps: Reacciona rapido forro, Alto mapa HD and La guerra dei ricchi.

Validation covered 14 bounded AI games across Vanilla, Dune2R, Dune City, campaign and all four difficulties, with three matched 1.0.820 baseline runs. One city-layout case was excluded from city-simulation coverage because it used Vanilla. No crashes or ornithopter harvester targets were recorded. Hard city combat shifts strongly toward aircraft; tested launcher and rocket-turret counters, army-wave progress and city economies remained viable. These runs establish the tested scenarios, not universal player balance.

Dune City 1.0.820 9 October 2026

Watch AI matches with the new offline Spectate option in Custom Game. Spectators see the full map and can inspect every faction's buildings and units. All participating houses can be QuantBots; Shared house is optional. Inspection does not grant control of another faction.

• City QuantBots open an income-producing residential, industrial and commercial economy on maps without harvestable spice, instead of exhausting their credits on a useless refinery opening.
• Required Stadiums and Airports take priority over optional expansion and protection once their real population requirements are reached. The AI resolves missing prerequisites and can begin a needed Stadium, Airport or planned Nuclear Plant with the foundation and construction-start budget, paying the remainder as income arrives.
• Fixes the eight-house Colonists spectator startup crash and user-map filtering. Workshop metadata files no longer appear as duplicate maps; declared Neutral factions count as playable slots.
• Bundles all eleven authored single-player scenarios, including BigCityLife, both New Beginning sizes, Colonists, Colonist and the developed 192x192 3waysplit world. Choose Dune City 1.002 in Custom Game. The converted 3waysplit scenario starts with its saved layout, buildings, armies, factions, alliances and whole credits; population, production queues and live orders restart.

Dune City 1.0.812 7 October 2026

The game-speed controls now reach 3 ms and 2 ms per simulation cycle, twice the previous 4 ms maximum. The default stays at 16 ms and the slow end at 32 ms; existing saved speed choices are kept. A controlled 60 Hz measurement reached about 333 and 500 cycles per second at the new settings, but slow rendering, heavy simulation or high latency can hold a match below its configured rate. This is not a frame-rate improvement for large CPU-bound armies.

• Ground-unit combat rotation now wraps the direction correctly after a movement turn. An invalid direction previously overwrote tile memory, causing late-join crashes and observer divergence on busy maps. Tile track writes also reject invalid directions.
• Observer checkpoint recovery replaces an open game menu with working join-progress controls and closes it before the match is rebuilt.
• Custom Hard and Brutal QuantBot sends every available ground combat unit to Hunt in one pass, and a real attack on any owned building — including a remote R/C/I colony — scrambles the ground army to the invasion. Hunting launchers keep their close-range escape and resume firing; reserves assemble at a protected rally outside the colony footprint. Human orders, repair, workers and aircraft keep their existing authority.
• Bases grow overlapping rocket batteries towards the observed enemy approach. In DuneCity Custom Hard/Brutal games, a battery with no free site can reclaim an owned residential, commercial or industrial lot on the enemy-facing side. Free ground always wins, and local lot minimums, hospitals, churches, roads, factory exits and corridors are preserved.
• Crowded armies waste less pathfinding work and keep valid cached routes. A ground unit stalled on one tile for 30 seconds with an outstanding movement order can request an owned free carryall.
• Carryall pickup no longer loses its passenger, and bookings are released on both sides. Units orphaned by that fault in older saves return to the map, so hidden units can no longer keep a match from ending.
• Police Stations no longer claim "Unit limit reached" below the game's own unit limit. They use the house's existing Trike and Trooper admission rules, and Brutal's separate military-value gate now reads "Army target reached".
• Custom Game offers a per-house spice income multiplier of 1x to 5x for players and bots, explained above the roster: it multiplies credits from harvester deliveries, with 1x the original rate. The "Original" house-colour selector and its bonus-palette checkbox were removed; saved colour choices remain intact.

Dune City 1.0.796 2 October 2026

Five DuneCity maps now ship with the full release: 4 corners v1, DuneCity (192x192), test (256x256), city seige and Alkozeltser 4 Cities v1. They are available on clean desktop and browser installations through the DuneCity map selection.

• Pathfinding runs deterministic search slices across worker threads on supported desktop builds, with bounded work per simulation tick. Custom single-player QuantBot planning is spread across simulation ticks, and repeated spatial scans use shared fields to reduce stutter.
• Fully repaired units leave Repair Yards correctly, including units whose remaining damage is less than one HP. Carryall collection and ground release can finish instead of waiting indefinitely while repair costs continue.
• With Override max units enabled, Brutal QuantBot can build past its configured military-value target. A positive override retains the engine's unit-count limits; zero permits unlimited units. Starport deliveries wait when a positive limit is full and resume when capacity opens.
• Includes refreshed residential and industrial city artwork for all houses.

Dune City 1.0.792 28 September 2026

Ground combat now uses consistent splash damage: ordinary gun, shell and rocket hits weaken every quarter tile and stop at one tile. The default combines classic light-unit damage with DuneCity's lower heavy-weapon damage.

• Enable Original Dune II damage in game options to use classic ordinary damage against ground units. For example, direct Tank hits rise from 12 to 25 HP and Launcher rockets from 37 to 75 HP.
• Hover over the option for an explanation of damage and splash. The setting is preserved in configuration, saved games and multiplayer match rules.
• Building damage, aircraft hits and special weapons retain their existing rules.

Existing saves remain loadable, with the new option off for older settings. Multiplayer players must all update because the synchronized combat rules and network protocol have changed. Saves, settings and user mods remain in the user folder.

Deviators can now convert Ornithopters and Carryalls, with an 80% conversion chance for eligible units across houses and game modes.

• QuantBot values Deviators by the damage their controlled units deal and absorb, including the normal 20% unit-kill bonus. Repeated conversions alone no longer inflate their score.
• QuantBot promptly arms captured enemy Devastators. Completed detonations earn their remaining-health value and one kill bonus, with blast damage counted separately.
• Deviated units no longer request repairs, book repair yards or enter them through Carryall delivery.
• Map revision labels appear beside names in the custom-game chooser.

Existing saves remain loadable. Loading an older save starts fresh AI unit-learning counters; historical match totals remain.

This release fixes multiplayer joins for players who have not previously downloaded the host's map and mod.

• Fresh guests can receive the map and then resolve its pinned mod without getting stuck while receiving game setup. Map integrity and dependency checks remain enforced.
• Includes the DuneCity graphics integration: 34 building and zone skin packages, authored zone portraits, and skin selection in campaign and co-op setup.
• Refreshes changed bundled graphics reliably, including artwork updates that retain the same version and file size.

Internet hosts continue to collect and publish map revisions when setting up their lobby. Guests retain received maps locally. LAN games do not publish maps.

Dune City 1.0.783 24 September 2026

This release improves QuantBot expansion and base defence, and aligns building degradation with Dune Dynasty across game modes. Power shortages now cause building damage across modes, making power management more important in existing games too.

• Adds Concrete is required: enabled by default in Vanilla and disabled by default in DuneCity. When disabled, missing foundations cause neither placement damage nor ongoing degradation. Roads also provide foundations.
• Damaged windtraps produce less power, and damaged city buildings reduce land value. Palaces retain their land-value bonus but no longer replace the stadium requirement.
• QuantBot prepares concrete with upgraded construction yards, repairs productive buildings, and maintains a power reserve once its Vanilla economy and production are established. A partial foundation no longer causes a completed building to be cancelled.
• City AIs deploy MCVs on their current rock and colonise safe free rock when space runs out. They can import colonists through Starports and relax road-layout preferences to fit essential factories.
• Opening combat units clear construction space. Launchers move towards buildings under air attack, including remote colonies; ornithopter targeting and damaged-aircraft combat are corrected.
• Production growth is better balanced against defensive rocket-turret spending.

Multiplayer protocol is now 37: all players must update together. New saves use format 9848; older saves remain loadable, but saves made by this version cannot be opened by older builds. Saves, settings and user mods remain in the user folder.

QuantBot now builds a missing Starport when it reaches House IX or Palace in its construction priorities, even on maps with no Starport imports. Once the port is completed, the AI continues to the intended building.

• Keeps the earlier import and opening priorities unchanged.
• Respects map/mod prerequisites, tech and upgrade restrictions, affordability and placement; queued Starports prevent duplicate orders from multiple construction yards.
• Applies across Easy, Medium, Hard and Brutal. Real-game regression probes cover Vanilla and DuneCity.
• Includes all twelve new Dune City scenarios and repaired SimCity from 1.0.773.

Multiplayer protocol is now 28. All players in a match must use this version. Save format is unchanged.

Dune City 1.0.773 23 September 2026

Twelve new Dune City single-player scenarios are bundled with the desktop installers and available through Metaserver Maps. The repaired SimCity map is included too. Select DuneCity in Custom Game to play the city scenarios.

• New missions: Sihaya Basin, Ash Quarter, Hagal Flats, Arrakeen Blackout, Harg Pass Convoy, Cielago Watch, Tuono Crossing, Shield Wall Rift, Carthag Vise, Coriolis Gap, Habbanya Crescent and Habbanya Narrows.
• Rocket turrets now match Dune Dynasty's measured firing cadence after accounting for engine timing: 2.72 seconds between missiles and 2.048 seconds for the close-range cannon. Healthy launchers fire pairs 0.288 seconds apart, repeating every 12.288 seconds; launchers at half health or below fire singles every 12 seconds. Interrupted pairs cannot leave a late extra rocket queued. Applies across Vanilla, DuneCity, Dune2R and Tornie.
• AI builds its production core and needed storage more reliably, balances expansion with air defence, sends aircraft to rescue attacked structures and harvesters, and avoids unreachable Hunt targets. Dune2R stops buying workers for exhausted spice fields.
• Game setup remembers offline/online choices and the selected mod through map selection. Duplicate local/server maps are consolidated, and the repair sidebar layout is improved.

Multiplayer protocol is now 27; all players in a match need compatible updated clients. Save format remains 9846. Desktop updates preserve saves, settings and user mods.

Also includes 1.0.771

• New offline custom matches contribute their original scenario and selected mod to the metaserver map catalogue in the background.
• Collection checks for existing map content with the same mod, preserves local map files, and retries when the metaserver is unavailable.
• Includes the map-copy, repair-yard sidebar, and mature AI silo-priority fixes from 1.0.770.

Also includes 1.0.770

The All Maps chooser avoids listing equivalent copies of a map more than once while retaining distinct maps that share a name.

The repair-yard sidebar keeps the unit being repaired and its health progress inside the panel alongside readable city statistics.

Established AI bases prioritize extra spice storage when earned holdings reach 80% of capacity, after core infrastructure. Queued storage prevents duplicate orders, and no extra storage is requested beyond the 999999 credit ceiling.

When the main menu finds a newer signed desktop update, it automatically shows the existing Install update / Later confirmation. The prompt appears once per launch and waits for other menu dialogs to close. Choosing Later keeps it dismissed for that launch; the Update available button can reopen it at any time from the main menu.

Installation still requires explicit confirmation, and matches are never interrupted by an update prompt. Saves, settings and user mods are preserved by the existing updater.

Dune City 1.0.768 23 September 2026

AI economies grow their refinery and harvester capacity earlier while continuing city development. Core production buildings take priority over large turret networks. Police target dangerous crime, rocket turrets protect valuable buildings and expansions, and ornithopters respond to attacks on bases and harvesters. Policing budgets are limited to 33% early and 50% with healthy finances; funding increases are smoothed. New expansions aim for three rocket turrets before the next expansion proceeds. Emergency Starport MCV recovery works on every difficulty.

The metaserver now provides maps and mods directly in the game and editors, replacing Workshop navigation. Map selection supports mod, size and player filters. Maps carry version metadata, are classified as Vanilla, Tornie or DuneCity from their content, and can be converted in the editor. Save As creates a separate map identity. The online catalogue includes the seeded local collection.

Earned credits share refinery and silo storage capacity, and total holdings cannot exceed 999999. Unspent starting credits retain their allowance; construction refunds preserve the starting-credit portion actually paid. Match statistics show tax collected with the original yellow styling.

Multiplayer protocol 24: all participants must update together. Save format 9846 records refund funding sources; older saves remain loadable, with legacy queued-order refunds conservatively limited by storage capacity.

Validated with 31 native regression targets, 221 signaling-service integration tests, and bounded Medium/Hard AI matches. Balance checks reduced construction-yard losses and funding churn on the tested map; they do not guarantee that expansions survive every attack.

Dune City 1.0.760 22 September 2026

Carryalls, ornithopters and ground units now follow Dune Dynasty movement and turning rates across DuneCity, Vanilla and Dune2R, including carryall approach/docking and ground tile transitions. Built-in unit INI templates are updated alongside the engine changes.

Rockets now use Dynasty flight, steering, arming and explosion behavior. Launcher anti-air fire retains its distinct targeting behavior, and turret rockets can physically intercept aircraft so ornithopters remain vulnerable without remote-hit or full-splash bonuses.

City AI now prioritizes crime protection over optional growth. Human-shared AI helpers respect their difficulty population ceiling while human construction and natural population growth remain unrestricted.

Multiplayer protocol 18: all participants should update together. This release retains save format 9845.

Validated with 16 passing native regression targets, real-engine projectile combat and save-continuation scenarios, a city-AI spending simulation, and packaged macOS runtime checks.

Dune City 1.0.753 21 September 2026

Campaigns start directly with installer-matched mods eligible for hot join. Custom mods use the pregame lobby, and online games no longer require an empty player slot: players can spectate or take over an AI.

• Compressed snapshots reduce joining transfers while preserving deterministic state.
• Hosts can change shared game settings during play; all players have a pause control, and leaving the host menu releases its automatic pause.
• QuantBot balance includes campaign technology restrictions, revised economy and attack behavior, palace limits, and custom-game city limits by map size and difficulty. Brutal cities remain uncapped.
• Added construction-yard limits, a confirmed Skip mission action, and improved results/mod selection screens.
• Fixed reported Starport/sandworm crashes and related multiplayer controls.
• Dune City mod is independently versioned1.002; the app is1.0.753. Nuclear power still unlocks at campaign level6.

All multiplayer participants need this release's compatible network protocol. Older saves remain supported. Updates preserve the separate saves, settings and user-mod profile.

macOS, Windows installer and supported AppImage installations can use the in-game updater. DEB/RPM and portable installations use their normal manual update procedure.

Dune City 1.0.729 19 September 2026

Also includes 1.0.728

This combined release brings online hot joining, a clearer lobby, smoother city play, and interface fixes to Windows, macOS, Linux and the browser.

• Hot joining: “Allow hot join” is on by default for new online custom games. Running games appear alongside waiting games, with map, mod and elapsed minutes. Players request entry; the host chooses an eligible slot, replacing an AI or sharing control where the game mode supports it. The game pauses briefly to synchronize everyone before resuming.
• Version checks: joining players must use the same version as the host. A clear popup shows both version numbers when they differ.
• Online lobby: Play Online sits below Continue, public games and All mods are the defaults, chat appears beside the game list, and waiting-player names/counts are visible. Your name comes from Settings.
• Performance: faster path searches without reducing node budgets, less repeated AI placement work, and fewer city budget scans. Development diagnostics are controlled in Settings and default off in browsers.
• Interface: darker building information panels with clearer text, live zone previews including development/hospitals/churches, clearer mod and Campaign labels, and improved sidebar actions and cursors.
• Game fixes: campaign AI partner selection is preserved; city placement rejects spice and blooms; threatened harvesters seek safer fields and nuclear plant placement avoids enemy fire.
• Metaserver history: accepted public chat and public game creation, joins and starting rosters are recorded by the service independently of client diagnostics.

Online compatibility: every participant must run 1.0.728 with matching game/mod files. Hot joining is available through Play Online; LAN/direct-IP play is unchanged. Existing saves retain their format. Large games remain subject to the existing 4 MiB network-save limit.

Android is versioned separately and is not changed by this desktop/browser release.

Choose Spectate when joining a running game to watch without taking a player slot. Rejected requests to play become spectators. Spectators can see the map, chat and leave without ending the players’ match. All participants need 1.0.728 (network protocol 7); the limit is eight connections including spectators.

Also includes 1.0.708

DuneCity can now use selectable SimCity or Dune2 graphics skins without changing simulation rules or the 2x2 city-zone footprint. Campaign selection applies to all houses; skirmish and multiplayer retain a separate serialized choice for each house slot.

The Dune2 skin includes the currently authored per-house zone and special- building Compacts, matching construction and properties-panel portraits, residential growth stages, transparent cell replacement, and an alpha-aware Scale2x/Scale3x path isolated from the classic indexed-palette scaler.

Android additionally packages the complete current skin payload and preserves existing saves and configuration during upgrade.

Commercial demand now responds to the market before the first commercial zone gains population. This fixes the early-game demand indicator staying at zero until a shop opens, including Harkonnen starts.

The zero-commercial-population calculation now follows Micropolis: use projected commercial population directly. Small markets can show negative demand; growing markets can create positive demand before shops exist. The same correction applies to every house.

Dune City 1.0.699 15 September 2026

• Nearby troops defend an attacked base before regrouping. Defender assignments remain active while the attacker is present.
• Launchers keep hunting after short evasive moves and regroup around the fighting army rather than returning home.
• Human-allied campaign AI can attack when its army is ready, with a 60-second break between attacks. Enemy campaign opening triggers remain in effect.
• Custom-game AI grows its economy and army together. Allies and opponents use the same map/spice worker limits; the larger allied fleet allowance and aggressive worker-first spending are campaign-only.
• Campaign allies prioritise early harvesting and bulk Starport imports. Brutal allies can field up to 20 harvesters on late campaign maps; Brutal campaign enemies can field up to seven.
• Revised campaign difficulty attack values and military limits, improved Dune City Starport/repair/nuclear build priorities, and radar requiring adequate power.
• Added ten rocket turrets to each starting city on the bundled single-player SimCity map, protecting construction yards and other key infrastructure.

Dune City 1.0.692 15 September 2026

Campaign attack pacing and repair improvements:

• Easy enemy waves now repeat every 1–3 game minutes when enough troops are ready. Late-mission waves can spend up to 1,700 credits, while retaining a home reserve.
• Easy and Medium start their next-wave timer when an attack launches. Surviving attackers keep fighting without delaying the next wave.
• Medium AI now prioritizes one missing repair yard and its prerequisites, and sends damaged vehicles for repair.
• Easy AI keeps damaged troops available for combat when it has no repair yard. Explicit retreat orders remain respected.

For an AI partner that attacks and defends for you, choose QuantBot. AI Support manages economy and construction only.

Validated with all seven native test groups, campaign wave/defence/repair fixtures, and completed native level-4 and level-9 campaigns. AI-versus-AI results do not establish human difficulty balance.

Dune City 1.0.690 14 September 2026

Campaign AI and co-op economy fixes, plus restored action cursor sizing on desktop and in the browser.

• Campaign attacks begin from the map's reinforcement signal. Easy and Medium use independent opening delays, send one small automatic wave at a time, and take a two-to-four-minute break after it ends. Hard and Brutal can attack immediately after the signal when their army is ready.
• Dune City campaigns use the city construction planner so enemies can build residential, commercial and industrial zones.
• Co-op helpers no longer reserve their opening cash for an expansion MCV when they have no factory capable of building it.
• QuantBot leaves saboteurs out of army orders, allowing Palace-spawned saboteurs to continue hunting instead of being reassigned to guard or retreat.
• Render action cursors at their original size across desktop and web.

Validation: all seven native CTest groups pass. Engine regression scenarios cover wave spacing, city/co-op opening construction and saboteur order preservation through a successful attack. Existing saved saboteur orders are preserved; the fix prevents new AI overrides rather than rewriting saves.

Dune City 1.0.682 13 September 2026

Campaign enemies respond to attacks, reinforce threatened bases and harvesters, and launch waves suited to their difficulty. Easy and Medium stagger smaller attacks; Hard commits most of its army and Brutal can launch all-in attacks.

• Give idle defenders Area Guard orders and scout with dispatched armies when enemy targets are out of sight.
• Build and replace repair facilities on higher difficulties.
• Let Hard and Brutal campaign helpers develop their full harvester economy, buying needed harvesters and a first carryall without waiting for discounts.
• Count paid imports and refinery-supplied workers correctly, preventing extra purchases beyond the worker cap without discarding paid deliveries.
• Include the restored Custom Game map browser, with its full list, categories, previews and preserved player choices when returning from setup.
• Preserve the current menu navigation, bundled browser mods, campaign scoring and exclusive building selection fixes.

Validation: 71 native campaign scenarios finished naturally (46 wins, 25 losses), with no crashes, timeouts or worker-cap overshoots. Every match included enemy attacks; all 21 late-game Hard/Brutal helper cases reached 15 harvesters. Native unit/menu tests, behavioral fixtures, browser build and packaging checks pass. The browser campaign launches and selection works before and after feedback.

These simulations assess AI behavior rather than human win rates. New WAN/NAT and multiplayer save/resume checks are not included in this release pass.

Validation: native and browser builds pass. Native tests and production menu checks pass at 640×480, 854×480 and 1280×720. Local browser/native campaign and custom multiplayer were exercised during this work, including a human-hosted campaign on the preceding 1.0.673 candidate. The 1.0.679 candidate passes all seven native test groups and the new browser mod packaging tests; the actual browser archive is checked for missing files and Tornie integrity before publication. Browser upgrade checks confirm both mods appear in Mods, Custom Game and Campaign, activate and survive reloads. An offline Tornie custom game reaches gameplay.

Remaining verification: two-device play across different networks and multiplayer save/resume have not been verified in this release pass.

Dune City 1.0.661 12 September 2026

Browser and desktop players can now meet through Play Online, browse public games, host private games with invitations, and use the shared lobby chat after confirming a player name. Public games join directly from the list without a code.

This release also hardens network parsing and lobby permissions, adds browser/native classification to compatible match logging, improves browser display and resolution settings, and paces relay traffic to prevent polling backlog disconnects.

The HTTPS polling path uses a bounded startup command allowance to reduce lockstep stutter. In public browser/browser and browser/desktop tests, rendering remained around 60 FPS and simulation improved from roughly 37–42 to 56–57 updates per second on the test connection. Polling still adds command delay and can pause during latency spikes; these measurements are not a guarantee for every connection or game speed. Desktop ENet and WebSocket sizing keep their previous behavior.

Use the same game version and bundled mod/content on both clients. Browser multiplayer is available from the Play Online page once its separate deployment completes.

Also includes 1.0.659

Play online across the browser and desktop through the public lobby. Choose a player name, join a public game without a code, or host a private game with an invitation. Public-lobby chat is available after confirming your name.

• Adds HTTPS crossplay on the existing game server, with encrypted browser and desktop connections and recoverable join errors.
• Makes the public Join Game button easier to find, allows changing a confirmed name, and explains duplicate-name refusals.
• Restricts lobby edits to the appropriate player, validates network commands and bounds relay traffic and queues.
• Fixes browser widescreen and resolution changes, adds more resolutions and uses a larger desktop default.
• Records browser/native participation in backward-compatible server analytics.

Existing desktop LAN and direct Internet multiplayer remain available. Crossplay players should use this version on both browser and desktop. Relay recovery restores the service after a crash; it does not resume a match interrupted by a server restart.

Dune City 1.0.653 12 September 2026

Play campaign co-op with your friends online! Two commanders can share one house, including its buildings, units and credits, in campaigns and single-mission skirmishes.

• Host from the campaign or skirmish screen with Host Co-op, or choose Multiplayer → Host Campaign Co-op. Pick the house, starting mission and Internet or LAN hosting. A friend can join through the multiplayer server list; alternatively, choose a QuantBot partner.
• Continue together between campaign missions. Save and resume a shared campaign, or host an existing single-player campaign save. QuantBot co-commanders use normal economic and military planning while respecting mission technology limits.
• Improve early city investment, especially on Brutal: grow spice income faster, respond to harvester unloading queues with more refinery capacity, and build demanded civic services. Police coverage and traffic simulation have been corrected; airports deploy ornithopter patrols.
• Expand onto new rock when construction space runs short. MCV expansion ranks distance from the main base first, with enemy clearance and available room used to choose among suitable nearby sites.
• Improve ornithopter targeting and defence: prefer targets outside rocket-turret and launcher coverage, protect the base and safe harvester engagements, and expand air production when needed. Improve air-defence coverage of exposed buildings.
• Restore original scenario house identities in single-mission games, prioritize QuantBot entries in AI selection, default campaign opponents to QuantBot Easy, and widen player selection boxes to show full names.

See the multiplayer co-op hosting guide for hosting, joining and save/reload instructions.

All multiplayer participants must use the same desktop release and matching mods/configuration. This release uses network protocol 5 and save format 9837; older saves remain readable, while older executables cannot read newly written saves. Browser and Android releases are unchanged.

Validation includes the local test suite, dependency audits, two-instance Internet-server discovery and joining, matching simulation logs, and human testing of two campaign missions plus save/reload. Gameplay connections across separate routers have not been verified in this test. Public packages are gated on Linux tests and successful Windows, macOS and Linux builds.

Dune City 1.0.642 11 September 2026

Changes since 1.0.630:

• Rebalance Dune City income around the Micropolis tax formula, with a 2x multiplier for private residential, commercial and industrial zones. Government infrastructure is tax-exempt; the Palace remains an exception with residential and commercial income. Windtraps no longer supply industrial jobs. Light Factories and Silos supply low-density industry; Refineries, Heavy Factories, High Tech Factories and Repair Yards supply medium-density industry; House IX supplies high-density commerce. Starports retain their seaport role.
• Choose R/C/I construction from positive, normalized demand and existing or queued provision, so commercial preference and residential infill no longer starve industry. Zones use normal configured construction timing. QuantBot compares tax investment with marginal refinery capacity, maintains a continuing tax-income hedge and expands refinery capacity when the harvester fleet needs it.
• Prioritize QuantBot's first High Tech Factory and carryall before additional Heavy Factories when prerequisites and placement allow. Balance factory harvester orders against military production; refinery count no longer imposes a three-harvester production cap. Remaining spice, map limits and affordability still constrain the workforce.
• Plan city power for zone growth and recovery after blackouts, and save for nuclear capacity earlier. Nuclear plants now have 750 HP; their cost, power output and explosion are unchanged. Existing saves retain their saved object statistics.
• Reduce AI police funding during a cash shortage after major city losses, then restore it as the economy recovers. Budget commands now correctly affect the issuing player's house.
• Enemy roads can be built over like concrete, but do not extend another house's construction range. Remove road upkeep and separate road maintenance ownership. Redirect completed redundant road orders to another useful gap instead of cancelling them; retain the finished road if no suitable gap is available yet.

Shared QuantBot production changes apply to Dune City and Vanilla where relevant; city tax, zoning, roads and service budgets are specific to Dune City. All multiplayer participants should use the same version.

Validation: 564 tests passed locally; three optional tests skipped. Local dependency audits passed. Remote publication is gated on Linux tests and Windows, macOS and Linux builds.

Dune City 1.0.630 10 September 2026

Changes since 1.0.626:

• In Dune City, reuse roads built by any house for construction access and prepared foundations. Enemy and abandoned roads no longer stop expansion; terrain, occupied buildings and local road-access checks still apply. Road upkeep ownership is unchanged.
• Fix QuantBot ornithopter production being starved by carryall and ground-unit orders. After the first carryall, an affordable unmet air target receives priority over additional carryalls; existing unit caps and prerequisites still apply.
• Make adaptive harvester targets less conservative by reducing the spice budget per worker by 25%. This raises the spice-based target by about one third where other limits allow, while retaining the lobby limit, refinery throughput and affordability checks.
• Build QuantBot repair yards earlier once a heavy factory and refinery are operational, and scale baseline repair capacity with army value within the existing yard cap.
• Fix a repair-yard crash after nuclear explosions destroyed stored units at stale map positions. Nuclear damage now excludes inactive cargo, and repair yards safely clear missing occupants.

These changes apply to Dune City and Vanilla where relevant; shared road access is specific to Dune City. The save layout is unchanged from 1.0.626. All multiplayer participants should use the same version.

Validation: 547 tests passed locally; three optional tests skipped. Local dependency audits passed. Remote publication is gated on Linux tests and Windows, macOS and Linux builds.

Dune City 1.0.626 10 September 2026

Changes since 1.0.612:

• Add road upkeep at Micropolis's default rate: 0.7 credits per road tile per city year, with heavy-traffic roads counting double. Roads are free below 2,000 displayed population for each house; the exemption returns if population falls below that threshold. The budget shows road costs, and automatically built roads now record their owner.
• Reduce police reinforcements to three troopers and one trike. Existing cooldowns and unit limits remain. Improve police placement to favour underserved areas instead of clustering stations.
• Generate traffic from successful, occupancy-based journeys with Micropolis-style decay and light/heavy display thresholds, reducing the excessive traffic generated by tiny settlements.
• Let residential lots gain or lose individual houses before becoming apartments. Bring across additional residential, commercial and industrial models, plus building and traffic animations.
• Correct city labour demand and unemployment calculations, consider pollution and land suitability before zoning, and improve residential/commercial/industrial construction priorities. Windtraps count as light industry, including their sidebar label.
• Add a pollution overlay and civic demand notices for airports, starports and stadiums. Use scaled Micropolis park terrain for turret land-value effects.
• Replace expensive city placement connectivity searches with local access checks, reuse road foundations and spare lanes, and bound repeated placement work. Improve performance diagnostics for future game analysis.

Older saves remain readable. New house occupancy data requires this version for newly saved games; all multiplayer participants should use the same version.

Local macOS validation: 536 tests passed; three optional tests skipped. Desktop packages are published only after the release workflow's tests and Windows, macOS and Linux builds succeed.

Dune City 1.0.612 8 September 2026

Changes since 1.0.608:

• Keep qBot factory and refinery exits connected to open ground. Later buildings and MCV deployments respect escape lanes, including other construction yards' reserved sites, so rear factories are less likely to trap their own units. This prevents new blockages; existing sealed courtyards are not automatically demolished.
• Give successful unit types more weight in qBot production ratios using full-match damage value, kill bonuses and losses. Keep opening exploration and existing composition safeguards.
• Randomise attack intervals consistently for every house, removing a permanent house-based timing bias. Scheduling uses deterministic simulation inputs for multiplayer.
• Reduce repeated searches during police and turret placement planning.
• Fix empty qBot harvesters repeatedly returning to refineries when their previous spice destination is unsafe. Preserve valid unloading trips and deliberate safety holds.
• Restore automatic harvester restart for Original and Smart AI, which depend on the native restart behaviour. Human stop orders remain respected.

The qBot movement, placement and production improvements apply to both Vanilla and Dune City. City service planning applies to Dune City.

Harvester maximum overrides remain supported. The spice-based harvester target formula is unchanged in this release.

Older saves remain readable. Multiplayer participants must use the same version. Local validation: 504 tests passed, with three optional tests skipped.

• Simplify qBot army control: normal attacks use Hunt, with a loose gathering point near working harvesters and proportional local responses to attacks. Remove the expensive formation controller that could leave armies gathering while nearby buildings were attacked.
• Learn unit production ratios from damage value, kill bonuses and losses across the whole match. Prefer safer factory sites away from enemy forces.
• Expand light factory capacity when funded demand warrants it, and let heavy factories continue filling available army capacity when preferred unit shares are already satisfied.
• Improve harvester safety around launchers, check refinery return corridors and request sufficiently strong nearby clearing teams before missiles hit.
• Allow police reinforcements below 250 military units per house, while retaining qBot military-value and engine limits.
• Rebuild missing roads around surviving city buildings when construction yards have no higher-priority work. Fix completed road placement being incorrectly reported as failed.
• Group mature neighbouring crime outbreaks into a larger force at the worst hotspot. Dangerous occupied buildings contribute one, two or three troopers by density after 4–6 simulation minutes of sustained crime, with a short gathering window and a population gate of 5,000.
• Add regression coverage and telemetry for road completion, launcher safety and grouped outbreaks.

Army, factory and harvester improvements apply to both Vanilla and Dune City. City roads, police and crime changes apply to Dune City.

Older saves remain readable. Multiplayer participants must use the same version. Live balance and performance still need match testing.

Dune City 1.0.601 8 September 2026

• Fix a squad-controller crash when a target has been destroyed.
• Gather armies in reachable clearings with enough room for the force. Blocked destinations no longer send everyone onto the same rally tile.
• Keep the main body advancing while stragglers catch up, preserve shared attack targets, and measure stalled movement instead of cancelling advancing waves.
• Add the 4-player DuneCity (192x192) and 4 corners (128x128) default maps.
• Fix non-finite mod configuration validation in macOS Release builds.
• Require passing tests and Windows, Linux and macOS builds before publication.

Includes the Windows compatibility fix for the unpublished 1.0.600 build. Older saves remain readable. Multiplayer participants must use the same version.

Dune City 1.0.529 24 August 2026

This release expands vanilla skirmish AI variety and carries the latest cross-platform input improvements.

AI

• Let QuantBot maintain deterministic mixed forces with infantry, troopers, trikes, raiders, and quads alongside its heavier units.
• Allow vanilla AI bases to construct barracks, WORs, gun turrets, and short wall lines when resources and technology permit.
• Vary ordinary structure spacing between compact placement and one-tile lanes without introducing multiplayer lockstep randomness.
• Keep DuneCity simulation construction behavior separate from these vanilla skirmish changes.

Input

• Add Auto, Hidden, and Visible cursor policies for Android-class devices.
• Preserve physical mouse cursor visibility through menus, Mentat sequences, gameplay, cutscenes, and the map editor.
• Keep touch input cursor-free in Auto mode while detecting real mouse input.

Compatibility

• Save-game and multiplayer protocol versions are unchanged.
• Vanilla, DuneCity, Dune2R, Tornie, and user-installed mods remain separately selectable.

Dune City 1.0.528 11 August 2026

This release fixes distorted ADL music on clean Windows systems and expands the live Dune2R enhanced-unit workflow.

Fixed

• Render ADL music through a single pitch-stable emulator by default, avoiding the detuned stereo effect that distorted music on other computers.
• Apply the same ADL mode to sound effects and report the active audio driver, mixer format, buffer size, and ADL mode in the log.
• Retain the legacy harmonic-stereo mode as an opt-in configuration setting.

Dune2R

• Load mounted damage, aftermath, and dissipation animation states in addition to idle, movement, and combat.
• Reload newly mounted unit atlases at runtime from Dune2R EditoR without rebuilding the game.
• Package directional damage assets and default-direction fallbacks.
• Include the first mounted Harkonnen Devastator proof-of-concept atlas.

Compatibility

• Save-game and multiplayer protocol versions are unchanged.
• Vanilla, DuneCity, Dune2R, Tornie, and user-installed mods remain separately selectable.

Dune City 1.0.527 8 August 2026

This maintenance release makes bundled mods self-repairing without clearing the player's entire DuneCity application-data directory, restores MetaServer HTTPS on Windows 10, and corrects Linux package integration.

Fixed

• Refresh stale installed copies of the bundled Tornie and Dune2R mods using an atomic staged replacement when their packaged payload changes.
• Remove obsolete files from those managed mod copies instead of overlaying a new release onto stale assets, preventing malformed SHP and PAK conflicts.
• Preserve save games, settings, logs, editor maps, and independently installed user mods during the refresh.
• Fall back to Vanilla if a managed mod cannot be refreshed or its metadata is invalid, and roll back a failed in-game mod activation.
• Use the Windows native certificate store when supported and ship a Mozilla CA bundle fallback so MetaServer HTTPS works on Windows 10.
• Install Linux packages under /usr, publish a discoverable desktop launcher, and resolve packaged data relative to the executable for portable builds.

Compatibility

• Existing save files and user settings remain supported.
• Save-game and multiplayer protocol versions are unchanged.
• Vanilla, DuneCity, Dune2R, Tornie, and user-installed mods remain separately selectable.

Dune City 1.0.526 26 July 2026

This maintenance release makes DuneCity R/C/I placement feedback match the gravel-only construction rule introduced in 1.0.525.

Fixed

• Show invalid red placement tiles wherever a Residential, Commercial, or Industrial footprint overlaps sand, spice, dunes, mountains, occupied ground, or an existing city zone.
• Use one shared gravel/concrete terrain rule for the placement preview and authoritative structure validation.

Compatibility

• Existing save files remain supported.
• Multiplayer simulation and protocol versions are unchanged.
• Vanilla, DuneCity, Dune2R, and the frozen bundled Tornie version remain separately selectable.

• Recover empty-population R/C/I valves that were left in a deadlocked negative state by affected saves.
• Build roads at twice the speed of concrete and R/C/I zones at half the Police Station build time instead of completing instantly.
• Restrict every DuneCity-only structure to gravel/rock or existing concrete. Sand, spice, dunes, and mountains are rejected.

Dune2R

• Load mod-local animated unit atlases without replacing shared game assets.
• Add idle, movement, and combat animation selection with classic-art fallback.
• Add Action, Tactical, and Strategic presentation zoom levels through the Dune2R-only UI control and mouse wheel.
