Emperor: Battle for Dune

I love the aesthetic of this game despite how incoherent visuals can be during gameplay. That aside, the game makes interesting use of 3D trajectory which makes unit positioning a good deal more complex where your accuracy is determined by where you place units. Each faction and sub faction also boasts a lot of cool utility and the campaign creates a lot of variety in how you can mix them together. The map design suffers from lacking variety with no real gimmicks, but it's salvaged otherwise.
