The first one is a really great (and really hard) game about a civilization on a desert planet called Kharak finding a Hyperspace Core that lets them travel through space really fast. A neuroscientist finds a way to hook up someone's brain to a spaceship, then they build a giant ship to contain the Core, test it once, everything goes to hell and it's your job to guide them to their original home planet of Hiigara. It's pretty deep for an RTS. The Historical + Technical Briefing is 57 pages of nothing but world building that doesn't have much to do with the actual game but it's really cool nonetheless. Check it out
here.
Cataclysm is about a mining ship finding a million-year-old wrecked spaceship containing a bio-mechanical virus that can make literally organic machines and it starts to eat up everything. Eventually the miners become badasses and defeat the virus. This one feels more like a horror story and provides some insight on how Hiigaran clans work.
Homeworld 2 is about Hiigara vs. the Vaygr Empire. It's decent but not as good as the other ones. 'nuff said.
Lol I was going 'no way is this 57 pages'....
that was my 'I told you so for the day'
I've done Rise of Nations, and rise of legends, trying to think of the game my half-bro had that I played....
God damn, it was a game where you could create your own units/animals to attack with.... My god what was it called... It's pretty old, nevertheless, it had graphics similar to Rise of Nations, so I say it was early 2000's, but that was an RTS game for sure...
(back to original point) I have never found a game as detailed as the Homeworld game apparently...
That is one hell of a background check O_O
