Homeworld - The Homeworld War pt.1: The Burn 

kushans asked for it . if only their emperor is mad the higaraans were and will always be warmongers and power hungry and this new 3rd game will just prove it again by invading a remote isolated cluster just so they can secure the gates just like those in real life who do that under excuse of bringing freedom but in reality its for securing oil supplies and the safety of their puppet states there . remember that higarans bombarded the taiidan capital first , they have made the general who later became emperor of the taiidans . and they got exiled for their crimes . just because we have empathy for them doesnt mean they are the good guys . idk if you are aware of that but in the dust war scenario script they literally teleported to a cluster with 2 inferior factions fighting and first thing they higarans did was opening fire on both destroying every ship to the last . its almost the same scenario that will be used for 3 but with less atrocities just so you get the impression they are the good guys . tough in the this new game the excuse for their crimes will be the search for karan sjet and securing the gates all while accusing the locals of being pirates or corsaires while in reality they are only defending their oasis from highly advanced invadors

@@LauftFafa What sort of lore were you reading cause I can already tell you've omitted the fact that the Taiidan Emperor lost his god damn marbles being practically immortal, not to mention him ordering the destruction and total genocide of the Kushan people sparked a CIVIL WAR over the fact that The Kushan were young due to no longer remembering who they once were, and that they were in ala practicality a fledgling space fairing people, THEIR HOME WAS TOURCHED OVER A TREATY THEY REALISTICLY HAVE NO MEMORY ABOUT. Please check your history before treating them like the Taiidan emperor did all because of who they once were in the past.

@@xendakakorva3267 widen your scope talking about since before the exile to homeworld 3 to the dust war script . also the emperor wasn't immortal he kept cloning himself . he kept being maintained to live lot longer but he wasnt immortal and when he die his clone replaces him . also i am talking about the nature of higarans in general . what happened to them was by their own mistakes . when higarans gain power they become warmongers and hegemons . for example after they have found the first core they teleported to the heart of taidan then nuked the capital of taidans until it became almost nothing . the whole taidan royal family vanished , that what allowed the "immortal" emperor to rise and become what he is . the higarans did the first blood and were almost unstoppable it was the bentusi who had to intervene and defeat them . after they returned from exile to higara and playing the victims for too long they formed a second empire who in the original dust war supposed to be the script for homeworld 2 they teleported to a mini cluster and did a genocide against the natives who were only resisting . and in this hoemworld 3 so far the story kinda follow the same dust war path by saying that they are searching for sjet and securing gates in a far cluster region known as the oasis . a region they are definitely invading to secure its gates for their benefits .

@@LauftFafa Yeah but in Derserts of Kharak the Taiidan attempted to do some under the table genocide on the exiled Hiigarans, since we can clearly see several Taiidan based ships wrecked on the planet and later see a cutscene showing them deploying a literal orbital canon of death. Lucky for the exiles their smuggled hyperspace core pulled the Taiidan fleet into the planet. So technically the Taiidan broke the treaty first.

The Taiidan rebelled themselves, due to internal affairs. Burning of Kharak was simply the last straw, that broke the camel's back. Numerous bloodbaths were conducted by the imperial navy on outposts and colonies, which voiced objection to the Kharakian genocide. After that, it turned into conflicts erupting all over the empire. Elson and his small capital ship squadron in the Battle for Hiigara wasn't the whole Rebellion, as the ships fighting the Kushan on their way to Inner Rim were but a portion of imperialist Taiidan strength. If not for the Rebellion, the Exiles would never make it to Hiigara. Even the Council had to assist them in ground combat on their homeworld.

I appreciate that distinction. That explains why I had such a difficult time in the early days finding that track to listen to in my car. :)

I went with the 'Giant Ball of Ionic Death'. Remember the Hyperspace Gate surrounded by dozens of Ion Frigates? I stole all of them. Final battle was the Ball of Death advancing forward and butchering anything in its path. Fighters can't dodge ion beams when there are several dozen firing. Destroyers? Boom. Cruiser (with Support Frigates)? Boom. Emperor's Flagship? Boom. But trying to capture the Flagship? That is even better.

A worthy sacrifice!

The Gardens of Kadesh are my favorite part of the game. It was also the worst, because my 350MHz Pentium 2 with 3Dfx Voodoo 3 card couldn't handle it.

It was worth the wait.

always salvage...knocking at Hiigara's door with the enemy's fleet in tow is just to good to let it slip :)

Same feeling here!

You forgot the most important thing that the Salvage Corvettes could capture: Our Hearts.

And so the Salvage Corvette Mafia has showed off once more.

I wish. It's just one lone nut working on these: Me.

@@MacsLore well damn, you make the kiith proud buddy

Its in good hands. Unlike its cousin, dawn of war 3…

@@Ydrakar Oh I'm a bit scared about in which direction the story will go, S'jet is taking a biiiiit too much room, she was supposed to be fleet command, not Space Jesus.

@@selmevias1383 this is a different S’jet. Karen went out beyond the gates and got lost. Now Imogen S’jet is being sent to find her. Though personally it would have been cool to see a Naabal or Sobani fleet commander. Oh well. Homeworld Mobile interestingly poses some new factions across one of the gates and reignites the kiithid bickering that was going on in cataclysm’s campaign.

@@Ydrakar Neat, thanks for the lore exposition.

It better fulfill the "Surprisingly Improved Sequel" role compared to HW2, all while avoiding the threequel curse that doomed Dead Space, Turok (needs more love, and hope you check those out, Mac's Lore), Command and Conquer: Red Alert, F.E.A.R., Commandos (a maybe for you, ML), Gothic (same as Turok and Commandos), Diablo, and Mafia.

If there's one thing I can safely say, it's that they knew of God early than expected.

I agree! Played both and for the sake of story telling the better graphics of the remastered will help in the coherence from previous vids and upcoming vids h2 and eventually h3.

I was never able to get a concrete answer on this, but I was left with the distinct impression that using the older models was a safer bet legally then using the Remastered ships.

@@MacsLore makes sense.....I'd kill for a well written show.

twitter.com/MacsLore/status/1589771265820471297/photo/1 It even warranted a response from the Official Homeworld twitter.

Is he using the original Homeworld (1999)? Or is this is something else with the original models imported?

@@JAnx01 prolly imported models

Pretty much, I've been using Blender for these 3d things. Also, while I was never able to get a concrete answer on this, I was left with the distinct impression that using the older models was a safer bet legally then using the Remastered ships.

@@MacsLore The rendering looked different and better than HW1 at the first glance. The use of older models seems like a deliberate artistic choice. They're still quite cool in their own way, but perhaps only to people who played HW1 back in the day. At the first glance, I thought that you scorned HW:Remaster. Many people do because HW:R gameplay is botched compared to the original.

It's a combination of using 3d models from the original Homeworld, & some modern-ish effects to get what I want. The 2d art on the other hand mostly comes from the Homeworld Revelations RPG

@@MacsLore thank you!!! I can't wait to see part 2

@@MacsLore Any chance you could link to the one with the Taiidan at the military podium?? I have no luck finding that pic plz amd thank you

Moddb has a digital copy here: www.moddb.com/games/homeworld/downloads/homeworld-manual

The Homeworld Revelations RPG Corebook, it's got a ton of stuff and it started shipping out just last week.

@@MacsLore Wow. I found your channel about a week ago and was impressed by your content and narration. I went searching for this book and as I did I found the entire Homeworld series, as well as more books (19) by author Evan Currie. Made my day. 🤗 Look forward to your upcoming videos. 🙂

@@USNCBSLIXXX there are BOOKS!? _rushes to purchase_

Long story short, I may not actually be able to use the Remastered ships for these videos. Which left me to use the original models in their place.
