00:00A terrible sandstorm is building.
00:12The only hope for survival is to take shelter.
00:16And quickly.
00:18On Arrakis, exposure to the raw unbridled elements is death.
00:24But walls alone will not save you from the maelstrom.
00:30You need power and the engineering of Chone to raise a protective shield against the storm.
00:37Without such protection, even the strongest walls will erode and fail in time.
00:44As will anything left in the open.
00:50Your exposed vehicle is beyond repair.
00:54But a lesson is learned.
01:00You need better protection against the dangers of Arrakis.
01:05It's time to upgrade your base.
01:09Base construction and expansion can be done alone, all together with others.
01:15With Solido Projections, building as a group is easy.
01:20To further customize your base, you must align yourself with one of the warring Great Houses.
01:29Displaying your allegiance through their unique architecture.
01:32The Atreides welcome your aid.
01:33Swear your fealty to the Atreides, and rise to greatness on Arrakis.
01:46Your base serves as a reflection of both your influence and your allegiance to a faction.
01:52The safety provided by your base allows you to craft powerful new tools, technologies, and vehicles.
02:02Here we are crafting a ground car.
02:05Once each part of your vehicle is assembled, you can install modules to enhance its specialization further and customize its appearance.
02:16By aligning with the Atreides, you have earned the option to craft their faction-specific ground car.
02:23On the horizon, another sandstorm approaches.
02:32But this time, you are prepared.
02:35Your base is equipped with powerful shields for protection,
02:40and a custom-built garage that will keep all your vehicles safe from the raging storm.
02:45The shields are vital, but they come with a cost.
02:54With a construction of this size, the Emperor demands attacks to keep your base running.
03:03You will construct grand bases.
03:06And in Dune Awakening, you will have the option to share them with others if you choose.
03:11Building copied.
03:15All your creations can be recorded as blueprints.
03:19These can be shared with allies, or even bought and sold on the Exchange.
03:26Anyone holding a blueprint can instantly place a projection of the entire building,
03:32and construct an exact copy for themselves.
03:35Dune Awakening's building system allows for limitless creativity.
03:44Build your foundations strong.
03:48For your walls must stand against the unfathomable forces of Arrakis.
03:54Your Arrakis.
03:56Arrakis.
03:57Arrakis.
