I have a new most annoying enemy. Those damn sandworms! I can take the Harkonnens but everytime I go off to attack them with my overwhelming forces, a sand worm pops up from underneath the sand taking out half my troops. Hates them so much. Need more raid...

I think you need either distractors, thumber troops or worm riders. OF course you can always sacrifice a few cheapo units by sending to the desert first, Shai-Hulud will won't attack right away, so those guys can buy you time.
That game has the awesomest soundtrack ever. Fits Herbert's world like a glove.
Kaftypafty: I'll so get Dreamfall then, I had got the impression that it was somehow a bad game, so this is good news indeed.
Oh, and just for kickzors, go and conquer Crete and Rhodos right away, the locals can't defend themselves for crap(minus Cilician pirates, but you are Rome, so they are a pushover) and pre-BI AI doesn't know how to transport troops much at all. You get a crapload of income from those Islands alone.
There's actually a set AI behaviour for the different factions(they are named like Genghis, Caesar and Attila, balanced, fortified and agressive, etc) and only Britannia has a behaviour that favors naval invasions. So Punic Wars and things like that are pretty much impossible, unless it's you who is invading. A pity that.
