Dune 2 is the RTS prequel to all other[/b]

Disputable at the very least.
Consider that Final Frontier was published in 1987.
While Dune 2 may have ignited the RTS boom, it was not even the first RTS which Westwood had their hands in developing (Battletech: Crescent Hawks' Revenge scoops that prize).

I'm going to have to one up you there and mention The Ancient Art of War
It came out in 84 or so, way back when, and I think its regarded as an RTS.

Command and Conquer. A classic. I used to love to use cheats and build a massive army of grenade troops that filled the whole screen, and then send them off to attack a base. Hilarity ensues.
