Grammar edits[edit]

Leader should be in lower case, whereas Fremen and Guild are fine in upper case as they denote ethnic groups or organizations. 203.229.181.151 02:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Win Conditions[edit]

The article states that "the Bene Gesserit cannot predict the Atreides win condition." Shouldn't this say "the Bene Gesserit cannot predict the Fremen win condition"? Because no Artreides win condition is mentioned in the article. Zarkumo 12:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you are mistaken. Atreides makes more sense since in the novels the Atreides have the "prescience." I also heard a reputable podcast that described the atreides as the faction which the bene gesserit cannot predict. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.98.99.155 (talk) 22:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I own the game, and I can confirm that it is the automatic Fremen and Guild win conditions (at the end of turn 15) that cannot be predicted by the Bene Gesserit. 192.12.184.2 (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History / History and expansions[edit]

The other day I changed the title of the "History" section to "History and Expansions". The reason is that at present the content of that section does not describe the history of the Dune board game, but rather simply lists the expansions that were published for it. There's insufficient content to split the section into two sections so I feel a rename is appropriate. My change was reverted for the reason "change section name back to "History" to discourage listcruft". I don't think the world is going to fall down over this but I don't understand the revert reason, given that there is a limited number of expansions, discussion of them is unarguably important to the article, and section names should accurately reflect their consensus. If User:Percy_Snoodle would like to explain I'd be interested in hearing. Or alternatively if no one is particularly excited over it after a week I'll come back and make the change again. Thanks. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem - happy to explain. It's my feeling, and the style guidelines at WP:BTG agree, that it's better to have a narrative overview of the game's history, including its expansions, than just a list of publication dates. At the moment the section is somewhere between the two; it could go either way as more information is added. By keeping the title of the section as "history", we encourage users to add information about the game's development rather than just adding bullet points. That's the hope, anyway - we'll see how well it works. Percy Snoodle (talk) 09:17, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems reasonable, assuming someone is keeping an eye on it (as you clearly are). I'll go on my way then! Thanks for taking the time to explain. - DustFormsWords (talk) 09:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BG default win[edit]

A buddy who is familiar with the game noted that he felt the BG win was not a simple projection of who would win, but who would win *on a specific turn*. The article characterizes this topic otherwise. Which is true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.165.40.55 (talk) 04:25, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The version I played required the Bene Gesserit to predict the specific turn the winner would win on. But it wasn't my game and I therefore don't have the rules here to cite. BoardGameGeek will probably have a downloadable copy of the rules, though. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
