Thane thane thane;
 You are being a little too general here, Dune2 and TA are similar in
that they are both resource managment RTS games, the similarity ends
there, TA you have resource rates, and can build multiple units, with no
placement restrictions and the whole thing is true 3d. Really your
generalisation is like saying Wolfenstein3d is like Descent or Quake...
