Version update. Just so u know.

This puts shame on the name Homeworld.

And why is that?

Instead of giving weird comments like that why don't you give some constructive criticism instead.

It's nice to see good, non-Aos maps on Battle.net.

Keep up the good work!

I love this map, i played it, its very good. Although i suggest an event at the end, after all the asteriods have been diminished, because everyone hesitiates to attack in fear of loss of their irreplaceable units because they cannot get more due to no resources. Like a sudden death mode, or the like.


Otherwise its a great map, your use of space inspired the one i used in my map as well.

Good job overall 7.5/10

I think it's a decent map, played it a few times with friends, but everyone found the fighters very weak, they might need some buff. Boarding ships are totally unused. I don't think I saw anyone else other than me using it, but they require too much resources and micromanagement to benefit the player, I think. 4/5 Looking forward to future versions.

Fighters in terms of the Carrier-bound fighters or player fighters?

Player fighters, the heroes, but I can't tell if it's true or not, I have only seen them in action a few times, I myself am almost always a mothership, but those fighters did seem weak compared to the other classes. Maybe they were just used improperly.

They probably are. Because in games that I play(with "pro" teammates) against skilled enemy motherships, Interceptors and fighter-class squadrons are the most essential units u'll need if you want victory. The reason why they seem weak is because they are only best used at the start of the game, where the heavy firepowered ships are not yet deployed. To ensure a decisive victory, it is most imperative that you have Interceptor and Bomber squadrons take out the enemy Collectors, to stall or halt their productive capabilities, therefore buying time for your team's mothership to create the battle fleet. Once the REAL battle starts, that's when u stop using weak fighters and go for the heavy stuff.


Also, newbie players/lagging players usually don't do well with Fighter class units as they usually have problems getting adjusted to the gameplay(hotkeys and movement, etc).

is the map dead? no updates no comments no nothing.

Err i just stopped updating, that's all. I've got too many other things to do. Sorry. You should wait for SC2. I'll be making an SC2 version there. =)

Version update after a long period of silence....

This is an great map.
5/5

Yeah i'm hope to see some thing like this to sc2 too...

Version update again....there was a few bugs i left out in fixing.

VERSION UPDATE! This will probably be the last update.

Doesn't work with the new patch. :/.

Really? I'm not using 1.24. I'll test it out when i am able.

Voted for rejection because of that...

Why would you do that? Not everyone wants to use 1.24. It's just that the community i'm playing with doesn't use 1.24, hence i can't update...unless i use Version Switcher, which i will plan to do soon, i assure you. =)

OK made a hotfix after updating to 1.24. Also, it seems that the old version of Map Optimizer i was using might have been the cause of players with 1.24 unable to play the old version. So hope this works.

OK previous fix didn't work. I investigated the problem and found out that Vexorian's Map Optimizer was causing hte problem. So i switched optimizers. It should work now.

it doesnt i still cant host it

I suggest to keep updating for wc3 because i think sc2 will suck but it is your choice, just a suggestion..

Sorry guys i really have NO IDEA how to fix this bug(it's happening to a majority of my maps, though it doesn't affect some).

Kildare only now have i got a glimpse of your maps (since you updated all of them at the same time), but now none of them work. i hope you put efforts into fixing :{

This time the bug is fixed for real.

for some reason engine upgrades damage and for the turrets hull upgrades damage... can you fix this?

This was not a very good representation of Homeworld in my opinion.
-Storyline? The Hiigarans existed in HW2 because the Kushans discovered the paradise world of Hiigara.
-Lacking representation of the original game
:Resourcing wasn't even close.
:Ships had no appreciable counter system.
:Strategy focused largely around creating the largest fleet before resources ran out.
:Mobile defenses?!

There are a lot of things that could be done to improve this. It was a good attempt, but could have done with a good amount more effort on gameplay.

Simplified from the original.
