Re: Homeworld Computer Game

Brilliant graphics, and nice 3d environment. Unfortunately, the game
does not come with either a difficulty setting or any way of slowing
down time.

As I am not a Real Time Strategy master, I find this game entertaining,
yet difficult. This difficulty, unfortunately, is not revealed in the
free demo (naturally?).

Sometimes the logic behind the single-player missions is somewhat
faulty. eg. "You have just won a pyrrhic victory over the enemy! Now,
you must destroy their base of operations!" Only an idiot would attack
without numerical superiority, let alone being outnumbered 5 to 1.
Unfortunately, the computer assigns you the role of strategic imbecile.

The difficulty is offset, however, by the sheer beauty of the graphics.
Your hopelessy outclassed fleet blows up beautifully.
