DAD, u're the RPG dude who likes pace of the game to be determined by him & not the game. like what reflexive said to people who are disappointed with lionheart,"maybe this game is not for u".
real-time strategy games are just like that; rush rush & even more rush. if u think homeworld AI is cruel, wait till u try blizzard's strategy games(doesn't matter, starcraft or warcraft series). they're sadistic.
which is why i play westwood's command & conquer series more than blizzard's as blizzard creates the game with elite in mind. i rather have fun.
coming back to homeworld 2, the AI is less punishing this time when compared to the first. yep, DAD, it's more benevolent now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
anyway, i have great fun with it & i've read that relic (the game dev) has released the homeworld 1 editors & tools. maybe another code tinkering for good ol' DAD?
