thanks bro

Love Homoworld, but some missions are just too frustrate to beat. Hope this one is not too punishing.

RTS something like starcraft? can 1v1?

It is a single player RTS.

Not every RTS has to be like Starcraft, seriously.

A real-time strategy game in space is now available as Paradox Interactive and developer Creative Forge unleashed Ancient Space upon our keyboards and mice.

It's a story-driven RTS with "deep strategic gameplay" and some notable sci-fi actors from film and TV, like him from Star Trek and her also from Star Trek. Mac release is coming soon.

We take command of a fleet in Ancient Space and explore, with very limited resources, the edge of the universe. We're to chart what lies beyond in 'The Black Zone'.

"Ancient Space is a story driven single player real time strategy game where you take command of a fleet embarking on a scientific mission to chart undiscovered reaches of space called ‘The Black Zone’. Overcome overwhelming odds and fight for your life and the survival of your ship and its crew," reads the official website.

"Ancient Space features real time strategic starship battles that encourages tactical maneuvering. In time honored RTS tradition, you build and upgrade your fleet as you complete mission objectives and gather resources which allow you to progress further into the game. Chart your approach – from defense to offense and everything in between such as escort and stealth missions." Ancient Space is available now on PC through Steam and others for $19.99 / £14.99.

anyone bought this game?

I still remember the problem I have when I play Homeworld 2.

There is no way to set up defence around your mothership perimeter because enemies can simply go around it from above or below making fixed turret completely useless. The limited numbers of turret allowed to build does not help as well.

Then there are those frigate and cruisers with extremely long range capable of destroying the turrets from miles away.

This also make mine layers totally useless unless you decide to make a whole fleet of them to pepper the whole space with mines.

I think the problem is that game is meant to be played by multiple people in charge on different things like attacking, flanking, mining and defense... The micro-manage kills me when play by myself.

I don't remember seeing a Co-Op option in Homeworld. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

Multiplayer.

Elaborate that possibility of what you just mention in your previous post, different teams? Team?

In multiplayer can setup team mah, but I never get anyone to play with me...
