Rock and Concrete

Anything built on rock have 50% damage, on concrete buildings has 0% damage

Building concrete to place your buildings on is always cheaper then reparing, but takes more constructing time. (Think on how you use your construction yard.)

Sand

Complete worthless ground if there is no spice, lies everywere there is no rock.

Its not all safe to travel on sand, Dune is inhabited by large worms that hides in the sand, these worms is capabel to swallow even the biggest units in the game. (Watch your havesters.)

Spice

This is the object of the game, havest as much spice as posible. (A war without funding is impossible to win.)
