Deserts of Kharak Faction Overview - Coalition

[@AfroMan187]

I wish other RTS games had this level of unit feedback. Makes me feel like I'm actually commanding real combat groups.

[@Phantomsbreath]

Battle chatter is the best part of Homeworld in general.

[@hudo108]

@@Phantomsbreath This is so true. I can't overstate how much that adds to the game.

[@lulubeloo]

i never felt so emotionally invested in a game since my early HW1 days. I wish the campaign was longer.

[@brainwasher9876]

Yeah. This game had so much potential, but it's clear that some things could have been developed more. I would have loved to see a Gaalsien campaign with an alternate ending.

[@matrex2814]

Your way of speaking and mic quality work together really well to make you sound like your one of the bridge officers from the game

[@dootless3819]

Honey Badger maybe he is!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback and support.

[@brainwasher9876]

These videos would have been better if you had decreased the game volume. I wasn't able to hear you at points. That being said, there are precious videos on this game and yours are very appreciated.

[@Damo20]

This was great, I learnt a lot from your explanations. Hope you'll be doing Homeworld 3 content in March!

[@Bozothcow]

This kind of video is exactly what the community is missing. I hope you continue to make these! It's a good idea not to talk too fast, but actually I think you talk just a little bit too slowly in this video. A little bit more speed would be appreciated, to reduce the video length and get more detail. Just a suggestion, you can do with that what you wish.

[@sskhaliq]

Absolutely right. Except disagree with speech speed, I think it's perfect, allow to sink in for newbies

[@nickrct]

I think the speed is fine, but you can also change playback speed to 1.5x

[@dropthedice]

Great content mate, it's easy to tell that there was a measure of planning and preparation to the whole video. As a beginner in this game I'm finding these massively helpful. Thanks a bundle~!

[@Dreamlands15]

Awesome man, Im glad you are enjoying these videos. Thanks!

[@luarvikluarvik4276]

Dreamlands still the best, watching this in 2023.

[@Yeeren]

Liked the video. In the final battle where both carriers faced each other, couldn't help but get a "GDI vs NOD" feeling due to the color schemes

[@subatomicseal7789]

Y'know now that you mention it, Deserts of Kharak is a tiny bit similar to C&C4 in gameplay, isn't it?

[@Rifky809]

@@subatomicseal7789 a less shitty version of it

[@subatomicseal7789]

@@Rifky809 Oh yeah it's infinitely better, but still a similar formula. Kind of. Sort of. From a certain point of view.

[@ST0AT]

I feel much less of an idiot in this game now. Thanks a million for that!

[@Dreamlands15]

Glad to be of service :)

[@IncapableLP]

13:10 - EXCEEEEPT, when they actually DO fire through dunes :| Or though buildings...or mountains... Railguns do that often!

[@dootless3819]

I would guess only the tips of small dunes. The heat of the shot would turn the sand into a glassy substance, turning the already effective-at-blocking-bullets sand into something even more powerful.

[@krellin]

such an underrated gem of a game

[@michelthater4361]

Man, you are doing a terrific job with these videos! Exellently staged and exellently explained. You know how to use words. Thank you for this!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks a lot man! I appreciate that :)

[@BigJubble]

It really took me a while to get the hang of this game and properly figure out how to play it. I used to be really bad with the aircraft and had campaign missions where I'd loose massive amounts of my army because I didn't quite get just how strong certain units were when used properly (Namely the scouting function of the baserunner to augment my railguns and properly killing off LAVs before they could slip past my AAVs.)

[@jojosippe610]

Good job Rag, this is a great video to introduce new players to the gameplay! Looking forward to the next parts.

[@anythingunderthesun9930]

thanks. can't wait for the battle cruiser

[@AcidiFy574]

Man the Siddim had a better paintjob

[@ravingluhn7163]

Thanks for sharing! Guys on the DoK sub and Discord pointed me in your direction and the videos have been most helpful. :)

[@Dreamlands15]

RavingLuhn Hey thanks! Happy to help :)

[@sakalaath]

Wow, this is a great video! I only wish that the chatter and music was turned off, or the volume was far lower. Some times it's hard to hear your voice. I am going to look at your backlog of videos for sure.

[@8wealthyone8]

Excellent work. Thanks. keep it up!

[@Coercer]

This is so cool. Thanks for taking the time with the video! =)

[@munzo5150]

you might want to lower the game audio a little, it's almost as loud as your voice.

[@Dreamlands15]

Yeah, I realized that after. Future videos sound better.

[@Waitingnomad]

Yep, v good video but can be hard to hear you at times over the game volume!

[@oosul72]

Thank you very much. terrific work.

[@Dreamlands15]

Avi Mistriel Hey thanks! I appreciate the support :)

[@_Roboute_Guilliman_]

I do hope they make a 'Deserts of Kharak 2' after HW3. Or 'Battle for Hiigara' sequel or whatever!

[@corvusonis7974]

There was great war in lore that happened before. So there can more clans with their unique features.

[@sznikers]

Kharak is great start but def needs some polish. Kharak 2 if it fixed all the rough edges could be big thing.

[@ichlol9975]

i played campaign at normal, it was very easy for me. but in skirmish i even sucked against easy ai, this video helped a lot

[@Dreamlands15]

Ich lol Great to hear :)

[@nicolamassarini8413]

How do you make troops go by default in a place after spawn?

[@Dreamlands15]

Set a rally point. There is a button on the bottom right side, but I personally use the hotkey 'Y'

[@madw1lly]

awesome work dude!

[@Dreamlands15]

Thanks! :D

[@dazooej5785]

Great video, even though I don't own the game, I love the lore that the series holds

[@Dreamlands15]

Dazooe J Thanks! Yeah, Homeworld lore is the best :)

[@IvanKala]

15:35 .... how did u suddenly got hovering Assault Cruiser....is that Coalition one, or is that Gaalsien one...I started a game one day ago and i am bit confused :P

[@Dreamlands15]

Ivan Kalazic Its built from stolen Gaalsien tech. You will see in campaign.

[@theghostshepherddog2765]

love hw games and lore. but i miss the "save game" button on dok... i dont play to finish quick, but long matches to build, upgrade and rank up the entire army, against 2 or 3 enemies. an rts game without "save" utton is very, very bad.

[@xnow13]

If it's not much of a trouble, can I ask you to remake this video which includes the things you have learned about the faction thus far as well as strategies and etc? I think it'll be interesting to see just how much of your thoughts and strategies changed since then

[@stalwartteakettlepotato9879]

What about the small artillery/anitiair unit (mybe it wasn't in the game when the video was made)

[@mancubwwa]

Yep he skipped missile batteries. You can even se them on his research tab.

[@StaK_1980]

Always good to see content of Homeworld. Thank you but I think you should lower the ingame volume next time. Do you have a guide to coalition multiplayer also?

[@Dreamlands15]

tasman_devil Yes, in my Guides section there are a bunch of multiplayer tutorials for each faction.

[@shadewolfe3131]

Would it be possible to get faction overviews for the factions in Homeworld as well? This video, and overall series of videos, have been really helpful for me as somebody looking to get into this series and I would LOVE to see some detail looked at for the Homeworld factions as well.

[@Dreamlands15]

Yeah its something I planned on doing and still might. Just finding it hard to make time for recording anything lately

[@shadewolfe3131]

[@JohnDoe-iv7yu]

Game sound is too loud vs your voice

[@asyanimasi3d]

I can't different 3 of them.. I hope this help

[@as-ng5ln]

What I don't get is why the attack cruiser has hovering technology. This just doesn't make sense.

[@phoenixtalon100]

So basically, every game of DOK will at some point devolve into "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground!"

[@cumunist2120]

As all ground wars do

[@desertshadow72]

I'm not sure when you would use the assault cruiser. Against a late game sandskimmer horde? Or what?

[@Dreamlands15]

Jonathan L Think of it more like an "escort cruiser". Protects your railguns and artillery from skimmers and assault craft.

[@desertshadow72]

Ah, it all makes sense now. Thank you

[@specrtre]

It would been amazing if they some how made Homeworlds space combat tie into the ground combat in one game. I keep wishing an RTS game would come out combining space/land. I tried star wars but, the ground combat is rough to say the least lol

[@_Roboute_Guilliman_]

Homeworld 4, return to Kharak (in my own imagination) You send an expedition back to Kharak after rumours about survivors planet side, on your way there, you have to battle in space and land ground units on planets, moons and giant space stations. Or they can turn it into a conquer the galaxy game

[@anirbanbhattacharya9185]

Is the Coalition battlecruiser stronger than the Soban battlecruiser with railguns? The Khaneph command cruiser has tremendous in game utility with the cruise missile ability even from Power lvl 3. It can function as an early spearhead siege cruiser. What though is thespecialty of the Coalition command cruiser? Is it sronger at command than the other 2 command cruisers? I say that coz the Khaneph CC can kite it to kingdom come and it won't be backed into a corner quick enough such that its damage output to the oppsing CC won't be tremendous. Also the Soban seem suited to counter the Khaneph Siege cruiser rush. The Soban battlecruisers wont be as easily micro intensive as a railgun line.

[@Dreamlands15]

Anirban Bhattacharya The Coalition BC is the strongest unit in the game. Its VERY slow though, and tough to get into combat.

[@Dreamlands15]

Anirban Bhattacharya The Coalition Carrier has the most utility. Its very strong in combat and the repair beams are extremely good. With a few points in power and some armor upgrades your units are really hard to kill.

[@runswithbears3517]

This game looks interesting. I'm considering buying it now. Is it still actively played?

[@Dreamlands15]

Yes it is. The majority of the community is here on the Homeworld Discord. discordapp.com/invite/0iObC1nAGCaSEPOp Feel free to join and get to know the players :)

[@anirbanbhattacharya9185]

Dreamlands what is your favorite faction?

[@Dreamlands15]

Anirban Bhattacharya Tough question. I really like all of the factions, but I think Khaaneph is the most fun.

[@anirbanbhattacharya9185]

yes they are indeed! Dreamlands can you suggest if the Khaaneph really need the HGC? Isn't their whole military supposed to be around missile tech? HGC should be a Gaalsien specific unit like the VANGUARD battlescruiser is different than the railgun Soban battlecruiser. At this point in the game, anything the Gaalsien player can do, the Khaneph can do and more.

[@Dreamlands15]

I agree. I always say that Khaaneph should not have the HGC. The only thing that is better for Gaalsien is their Carrier in direct combat.

[@johanjonasson4188]

The technology looks very believable. Shame it doesn't have base building. It would have been interesting too see the design on the buildings. I have played a lot of Command and Conquer and the MCV and buildings are one of my favourite things from those games.

[@Dreamlands15]

The fact that there is no base building is one of my favorite aspects. The feel of combat is almost like naval fleets

[@johanjonasson4188]

@@Dreamlands15 I haven't played it though. Looks fun. I absolutely love the concept art. Thats why i wanted to see buildings as well. Because the design is so good.

[@Dreamlands15]

@@johanjonasson4188 you can see Coalition buildings in the first and second campaign missions, and Gaalsien buildings in the seventh mission, if you are interested in their look

[@angelmin8819]

18:08 that seems natural

[@Klepto-Bysmal1]

I honestly prefer these guys over the other three, mostly because of my play style- defend first, then overpower once the enemy's run out of resources/units. It kinda works... XD

[@Dreamlands15]

DrEducation50 Coalition definitely feels very solid to play. I like Khaaneph the most, but Ive been playing more Coal these days.

[@Klepto-Bysmal1]

Yeah. I like messing around with the Khaaneph in skirmish. When I get a computer that can actually handle this game, I'll probably become a more or less dedicated Coa player. Mostly because of the turrets.

[@Dreamlands15]

DrEducation50 Turrets are nice. I really love Gunships, personally:)

[@Klepto-Bysmal1]

I like those too :3 Usually I spam out strike fighters.. I sometimes throw in a gunship, or even a bomber if I'm feeling frisky XD

[@medakakurokami7101]

so basically you use some of the enemys uints but reverse engineered

[@skedtm]

More of a movie then a game. If they spent less time on cuteness and more time on the actual gameplay or missions it would be worth getting
