In fact, the replay value that comes out of the multiplayer modes almost makes up for the lack of multiple campaigns in the single-player game. Multiplayer options are easily customizable. You can set the available resources, the types of ships that can be built, and many other important elements. Multiplayer games are also well balanced, as ship production is limited by class.
For example, instead of being able to build 30 Scouts, 30 Interceptors and 20 Bombers these numbers are strictly hypothetical , you can choose your own mix, since these ships are all in the Fighter Class. You could build 40 Scouts and 40 Interceptors, or a massive fleet of 80 bombers. This method of unit limitation not only brings balance and allows variety, but it makes you really think about what kinds of fleets you need to have. Like the single-player combat, multiplayer space battles are truly epic, as massive Capital ships and Frigates collide, blasting each other into debris.
Very little can match the feeling of pure glee instilled when one uses the hyper-space ability to almost instantly transport an entire fleet right in front of the opponent's Mothership. The only possible complaint about the multiplayer version of Homeworld is that the battles can become so huge and complex that it's hard to control the numerous ships and fleets, as they simultaneously engage in different battles and other activities.
Fortunately, this quibble may be easily overlooked. Most gamers will have to start keeping towels on hand as they drool over the glorious deep space warfare taking before their eyes. Homeworld does not allow for many truly defensive strategies, and this may require adjustment for some RTS players. In fact, some people may avoid the game altogether when they realize that the only defenses available for the Mothership are the ships that "stay home," and don't go out with the attacking forces.
There are no structures to build, just research that leads to better ships. Nevertheless, real-time strategy veterans would be doing themselves a disservice to not, at the very least, give this game a try. Homeworld is simply one of those titles that makes you say "Wow.
It is a rare gem; an awesome feat of programming, graphical design, and sound production, all wrapped around superb gameplay. Homeworld 2; More Homeworld 2 Fixes. It's a crack for v1. The demo version provides one tutorial, two single-player missions, and two multiplayer missions, as well as a single-player deathmatch against the computer. However, the Bentusi are panicked by the emergence of the Beast, and attempt to flee to another galaxy. The Kuun-Lan and its fleet destroy the Bentusi's slipgate and engage their tradeships, eventually shaming the Bentusi into helping them fight the Beast.
The Somtaaw fleet soon finds the Clee-San and captures it, using it to lure the infected portion of the Kuun-Lan used by the Beast as a mothership before the ship's reactor overloads; the Kuun-Lan then destroys the Beast mothership using the newly enhanced siege cannon.
They then seek out the Nomad Moon, a Taiidani Republic battle station incorporating a powerful repulsor field; upon their arrival, they find that the station has already been infected by the Beast. The Naggarok , protected by the station's repulsor field, again offers the Kuun-Lan an alliance, an offer that is again refused.
Acting on information from the Republic, the Kuun-Lan is able to destroy the Nomad Moon's repulsor field generators using vessels small enough to avoid its sensors, allowing the main fleet to destroy the station itself. The Imperialist Taiidani, seeing that the Beast did not intend to honor its bargain after witnessing the Bentusi appear, abandon the battle, leaving the Naggarok to be destroyed by the Somtaaw fleet.
After the destruction of the Naggarok , the remainder of the Beast-infected ships are destroyed and a vaccine to the infection is discovered, ensuring that the Beast would never return again. Kiith Somtaaw gains great prestige in Hiigaran society, and are honored with the title of 'Beastslayers' for their prominent role in the destruction of the Beast. Some new features in this game not previously seen are ship upgrades and Support Units- the latter of which put a lower cap on the player's fleet size as opposed to the maximum fleet size of in ' Homeworld '.
While the Kushan and Taiidan fleets remain almost identical to their Homeworld counterparts, the player's clan, Kiith Somtaaw, is forced to scratch its own fleet specs based on salvaged technologies.
The player's own ships are all new and superior to both Taiidan and Kushan counterparts and are only matched by the main adversary, the Beast and its own fleet which is composed of assimilated Taiidan, Kushan, Somtaaw and Turanic Raider ships.

The Gaalsien then attack the Kapisi at a S'jet base known as the Boneyard, while the Kapisi is undergoing final outfitting for desert operations.
A masked Gaalsien commander named Khagaan declares that the Coalition's use of satellites and other space-based technology violates the law of the Great Maker, Sajuuk, and the Gaalsien declare war on the Coalition. Escaping from the Boneyard under cover of a sandstorm, the Kapisi searches for their sister ship, the Kiith Siidim carrier Sakala, which also escaped its base after a Gaalsien attack. In a region called Hell's Gate, the expedition stumbles upon the wreck of a previously launched S'jet carrier, the Ifriit Naabal, the flagship of the first expedition four years earlier; Rachel's elder brother Jacob had been first officer of the carrier, which recovered an artifact from the wreckage of a space-going vessel called the Kalash.
The expedition moves in to salvage more artifacts from the Kalash, but come under attack from superior Gaalsien forces, led by Khagaan from the carrier Ashoka. Just as the expedition is about to be overrun, the Sakala and its escorts arrive with reinforcements, driving the Gaalsien forces off.
