Kharak is the planet where the exiled people from Homeworld live before they built the giant mothership to travel back to the titular Homeworld, the desert planet from dune is Arrakis
Brightworks, you're humility knows no bounds. at first I was mad at you, and now that I've read your comment, I feel you could do no wrong@@BrightWorksTV
Swarmers have one MASSIVE advantage over normal fighters. When Swarmers land: they put themselves UNDERWATER out of sight of normal fighters. This allows them to be ambush units against air attacks.
It's nice vs small numbers of t1 figs, but you lose control of the engagement and vs t2 you will trade badly. Torpedo bombers are good targets but they also have the ability to not only see them underwater but one-shot them there too
@@BrightWorksTV There is a lovely remaster of HW1 and HW2 sold as a package deal. Ups graphics and controls to modern level. Should be quite cheap as well. The vistas and the sounds are lovely. It's also cool that there is visible ship damage for larger ships (toggleable in settings). Ships have wonderful crew chatter, including rather dramatic ones when a ship is being boarded (HW2) or when the ship is lost/blows up. DoK didnt grab my fancy since i loved HW for 3d battles, but DoK also has wonderful sounds, chatter and ambiance. Homeworld 3 should come out next year, which makes me quite excited.
@@DANgeonsNDragons Just remember to play HW1 in classic mode since, unless they changed it since I played it, they jury-rigged a lot of infrastructure from HW2 into the game which broke a lot of core systems, particularly the ship AI. Also don't forgot Homeworld:Cataclysm, now known as Homeworld:Emergence.
I love playing this map, but something I haven't seen anyone else do is put spycams (beholders) onto the land bits. It's a lot of vision that is cloaked and stealth for basically no energy. Super cheap, super easy to build, leave a whole bunch scattered about and you'll have vision of large parts of the map without anyone realizing it.
(17:45) That was the penetration that thruw things out of wack for the West Team for the reminder of the battle. It was funny seeing how everyone on that side seemed to panic and gave chase, leaving their positions to persue a couple of lowly enemy ships.
Jonte is a common nickname for people named Jonathan in Sweden but could be unrelated considering the german flag. The swedish pronunciation is how you say it except the E on the end is an "eh" and not an "ei" if that makes any sense (jon'teh).
“Typhoon” evokes images of wind and water, not fire! A fire boat needs to have a name that references it’s flame, or be a word that isn’t closely tied to any element (earth wind air fire)
a note from your commentary at 29 minutes, the previous carrier ships gave you about that amount of energy. So this 'generator' ship isn't exactly new in that regard

Ahhh that makes more sense. I wondered what shenanigans brought those two worlds together. Turns out it's my imagination that did it!

That's a really cool point!
i abuse this so much on straits its almost busted as f
They also can stack into one tile so be careful if somebody starts bringing flak ships.

Homeworld! DoK is a prequel to one of the classic RTS's. Homeworld has an excelent story and so does its prequel. Definetly recomend.
I suppose I better check it out then :)

"Massive economy, no units" - This seems like every game.
It's the pitfalls of many a great commander

The economy behind had no protection, we had to dive and try to catch. Not good, but letting them gut it all was also a certain loss.
@@atrtsh Yes. Just wasn't expecting everyone to follow like that. Thought only no more that half the players.
Appreciate the content as always. Keep up the great work :)
Yeah, Kharak is Homeworld, one of the greatest space series ever. Arrakis is Dune. Easily mixed.
Kharrakis

Ahh thank you! Part of the fun is the guessing and the other part is the getting it wrong XD
In german we pronounce the J like a Y in for example Young. Yont-eh :)
(If you see this BW, i love your content and have been enjoying your backlog very much since this amazing game came across my radar a few weeks ago ❤)

Exactly.
This was my first time using boats ever, surprised to see this game casted!
Welcome aboard the BrightWorks:)

nuclear submarines and stealth ships when ?
That's a fun idea. I bet they could make a nuclear sub that fires something like what the liche has
BAR navy will eventually need an slbm for both sides.
What game is this
This here is called Beyond All Reason :)
it's pronounced Jonte.. geez
Ohhhhhhhh!!!
Jontegeez. I thought so.
/dʒ/ (the "dg" in "hedge") comes up *very* rarely in ɡerman, "j" is almost always pronounced /j/ (the "y" in "yes")
