I think alot of em died during beast and HW2, btw Taidans and Hiig are similar races after all.

but before the invansion the Hiigara were "Kushan".After the invasion they were Taidans and Β in Homeworld 2 the Hiigarans were the Kushan. BTW I need to play the new Homeworld.

Taidan Hiigaran Vagyr and Turenic are all decedent of progenitor. With Bentusi the only exception.

After looking over the heavy cruisers you can see the work put in to them is by someone both familiar and a fan of the game 5

Homeworld like to use chunky and colorful design

They made chunky design looks not so chunky, or rather you forget about it being chunky, all the thing they had to compensate for computer performance created a so unique style. I love the chunky turrets the most.

yeah cos its low poly count. Β but still love it. theres a cuteness in the design.

Nice. I loved the concept of Homeworld, but found it to be much more challenging than what I was used to.
π: 0 β©: 1
you mean the game is challenging? SC is more challenge.
π: 0 β©: 1
In my opinion, yes, it is more challenging. I found SC to be easier than HW2, but maybe that is because I'm used to 2D iso RTS games vs 3D games.

HW game was almost impossible to micro, but you don't have to, it utilizes the good old red alert play style, build heavy tank and rush, in this case build ion frigate and rush. In HW2 they purposefully weakened the frigate and destroyer to give it more balance. I think HW game must use a different way to play sense it was very hard to micro.

Yes clean indeed.I like how you add those lines on the ship.They have the perfect shapes and work very well with the design.I like the color of the ship.I have to say you know what you are doing.Keep up the good work.cheers

The Taiidan ships are almost finished at this point just need a little more work and they would look even more amazing. Realy the real purpose of these illustration was part of my training wheel on coloring, lighting condition in space is very simple and background is just a phony, so I can concentrate on bring out the quality instead of worrying about interaction. Also the Homeworld had a unique art style of colorful spaceships in simple geometry which is a perfect subject for color beginners. This style of spacecraft that was originated from an artist Chris Foss, he was a concept artist worked on Dune, and indirectly influenced Homeworld.

Ion Frigate was a important unit, the most accessible heavy hitter.

The formation stuff can be more useful only with better AI.

yes it was a really neat design but require too many dictation making to make it useful. And I can imagine for a game like Homeworld, its very difficult to micro.
π: 0 β©: 1
No body micros in HW or RA, micro is for SC
