Beyond that, the only thing actually copied from Dune 2 was the buildings, in the very first version of the game (which was so nascent you couldn't even click on buildings to build units!) Nothing else was copied or "cloned" from the game: just those graphic assets (that were soon replaced), and the basic idea of an RTS.

Funny way to say they copied both the gameplay and a broken version of the buildings in WC alpha.
