Atreides

Lore

The blue house, noble and disciplined. Its Combat Tank is the fastest and fires the quickest. Only house that builds the Ornithopter and summons Fremen from the Palace.

On Arrakis online, Atreides lean on a fast combat tank, the Ornithopter, and Palace Fremen — a house that strikes clean and holds the line.

Military strengths

• 
  Sonic Tank

  Atreides, Fremen and Mercantile Guild: line beam that also hits allies.

  Requires: IX Research Centre
• 
  Ornithopter

  Air bomber: built at the Atreides High-Tech Factory, or two at once from the Fremen Palace. Spice limits attack round-trip range; at rest near base (any friendly structure), the tank recharges.

• 
  Fremen

  Desert warriors: a pair summoned from the Atreides Palace, or trained in the upgraded Fremen Barracks; anti-armour rockets.

  Requires: Palace

Harkonnen and Sardaukar: click a tile; the Death Hand lands roughly on it. Atreides: two Fremen beside the Palace. Fremen: two Ornithopters take off. Ordos: a stealthed Saboteur beside the Palace. Guild: two Siege Tanks roll out of the Palace.

Construction prerequisites

Taken from the game rules. Everything is placed from the Construction Yard, on rock, touching your base; a finished Windtrap opens the rest of the tree up to the high-tech factory, Starport and Palace.
