==Interface==
The ''Dune II'' interface is the basis for subsequent real-time strategy games, being the first to use the mouse for unit control<ref name="Bates"/>, but is inconvenient when compared, for example, to ''[[Command & Conquer]]''. ''Dune II'' did not have unit grouping or context sensitive cursors, as they were not used in RTS games until ''[[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn|C&C]]'' and ''[[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness]]'', and, unlike later games, clicking on a piece of land or enemy will not result in movement or attack actions. To do so requires clicking on the "Move" or "Attack" buttons (or pressing of a hotkey), and then selecting the target.
