Hi Paul, 

Thanks for the quick response. The update comments were probably a month or two old, and yes, I always build a large defensive perimeter of rocket turrets in available spaces - as many as I can fit in - so that's probably it!

I couldn't help but laugh, when you said it doesn't limit the turrets (annoyingly), because the building limits, which have only appeared to apply on this last level anyway - I had no such issues on earlier levels, despite having more rocket turrets - are the only annoying thing about the gameplay - ha ha - though true to the original I'm sure. With that knowledge, I'm sure I can complete the game without a crash now - so many thanks.

I do hope you will do some more live strategy games in the future, as they were always my favourite kind - perhaps Dune 2000 first?  ;-)

Anyway, thanks again for the great work. 

Kind regards, 

Marcus.

Hi Paul, 

Loving the game, which I just downloaded the other day. I was off sick, had got quite bored, and just wanted something to distract me - mission very much accomplished!

I used to have Dune II on a PC about 30 years ago. It's a great recreation, even if some of the graphics are a bit blockier than I remember them, particularly the military units - could just be my memory though!

However, I have encountered a problem, on what I suspect is the last level. It's not the building limit mentioned in the comments below, though that does happen, then frees up again, at the point where you need to build more silos (without anything being destroyed). By the way, why can't I seem to destroy my own buildings, if I accidentally create something I realise I don't want? Maybe you couldn't in the original either - I really can't remember.  

Anyway, the problem is, about an hour and a half into that mission, after I've destroyed the Ordos, the program crashes, saying it has run out of memory, so I can't go on to finish the mission. Maybe it is related to the buildings limit, as I didn't note what I was doing the first time, but this time, I'd just created some more concrete platforms, and I think I'd just selected to create another silo, when it crashed. I'm using the MacOS version, on High Sierra, on a 2011 MacBookPro 17, with 8GB RAM.

Hopefully you can solve this in the upcoming update you mentioned. Other than that, great job, thanks! 

Kind regards, 

Marcus.
