After looking for a week I managed to get a used copy of Howmworld 2.
So far it seems like fun, but the difficulty sure ramps up quick. I
started one level with 60,000 resource points and a nice fleet and
still ran out of units and died.

Even the skirmishs against the CPU seem harder. I used to have no
problem with the ones in the demo, but when I play the same map with
the same settings I get slaughtered every time.

At least I'm having fun trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Smile

Yeah i had problems with the skirmish modes. I either tried to invent
stuff and waste dmoney and did not build enough units to defend myself
Sad

Or i did not event decent enough ships to defend myself. Its a fine
balance you have to find. At arround about that point i got bored and
deleted it Smile

Many people complained that the game was frustratingly hard. The patch makes
things much easier -- some would say too easy.

I agree with Xan, you've got to get thinking in 3d, and start multi tasking
asap with this game. It doesn't let you slouch. But its worth it once you
get your giant fleet working well...

And just a random bit of info for you.

Homeworld 2 has dynamic enemies. This means that if you go into your next
mission with a tiny fleet due to combat losses, that's ok, your enemy will
also start off with a much smaller fleet to match you. The same goes in
reverse, if you go into the next mission with a huge fleet, expect a force
that can fight back.

Good luck, don't give up, the ending is worth it for those who can actually
beat the computer.

Ceo-
