I always disagree with opinions that 10+ year old games shouldn't be remade or have a successor because they're "tired" or have "been done".
It's just a viewpoint that's incredibly out of touch with the actual game playing audience. The vast, vast majority of players don't know about and will not touch something that old. A game like Dune II that's nearly 30 years old might as well be buried in an ancient tomb, from a standpoint of its accessibility and likelihood to be discovered.
As to the other criticism, against "rally local villages or force them into submission"... this just sounds like you could play as either an Atreides (woke good guys, joining up with locals to fight imperials) or Harkonnen (evil colonialist) archetype. You know, choosing sides and having agency, the thing games exist for. You could shift the theme more, but this is presumably trying to somewhat follow the story of Dune.
