This actually looks really good, god drat.

The troops carrying handheld energy shields in the desert is really, really bugging me because I'm an insufferable pedant a lore purist.

Also shields in the books are generally projected from a belt to cover the whole body (or half the body which was an older style), not handheld like...actual shields.
But yeah it was specifically the fact that the frequency of a shield in operation calls sandworms.

From memory, spice is the poop of the larval form of sandworms mixed with water underground forming a chemical mixture that then erupts up to the surface of the desert (This kills the crab planetologist) and dries out into spice.

I am really bad at strategy games and RTS games, but I picked up Dune Spice Wars on sale and I'm really enjoying it.

I gave it a try almost at random because it was on Game Pass and I’m surprised at how much I’ve been enjoying it. The almost boardgame-esque way territory is controlled and built out coupled with the politics/espionage systems and alternate victory conditions means it’s really scratching a 4X itch for me, but in a game goes for like 60-120 minutes rather than loving forever.
