	Dune Poll Increase Your PM Length

I'm taking a little poll:

1. Have you read Dune by Frank Herbert?
2. Dune Messiah?
3. Children of Dune?
4. God Emporer of Dune?
5. Did you like the series? Why?

And now, for the most important question...

6. How would you set up a House Atreides faction in SMAC?

I don't think this belongs in the ot forum, btw, since SMAC is based on Dune so much it's not even funny.

DH,

SMAC is a dead ringer for Herbert's The Jesus Incident. It has fungus, mindworms, Lab One, a demented (unethical) head scientist, an ecologically sensitive faction, and a merging with a sentient planet. There might even be copyright problems...

P.S. If you want a look into the minds of the SMAC designers, go to the Appendix 5 Fiction section of the SMAC guide. Lots of good stuff there. You'll see The Jesus Incident listed first, and given credit as the "clear inspiration for the story of Planet."
