Homeworld 2 Manual Of StyleGeneral work needs to be done to improve the article in accordance with the Manual of Style.Like the first game in the series, it was created by Relic Entertainment and published by Sierra Entertainment.The games release was delayed until four years after the first game due to Relic working on Impossible Creatures for Microsoft, and then further by disagreements between Relic and Sierra. It was criticised for bugs, its inconsistent and very peculiar spikes in difficulty (which made the opening missions the hardest in the game) and its shifting to a more mystical and Maguffin-driven storyline than the previous games. Patches did fix some of the more prevalent bugs and the game became very popular in the fan modding community, who helped prolong its lifespan. However, no expansions followed the release of the game and Sierra did little to publicise it, leading to disappointing sales.

Each mission will begin with the player always at a disadvantage with limited resources and with a serious limit to the number of units one can deploy. Also, there is a time limit in every mission and objectives CANNOT be delayed or drawn out (one or two missions are exempt from this, such as Mission 1 and Mission 8). Each mission AI will have the immediate benefit of large numbers, high resources and will also have access to better technology and better weaponry. The memories of both the Homeworld War and the following Beast War have dimmed, as has the pain of their occurings. However, despite her near messiah status with many of the Kushan, the New Daiamid and the people of Hiigara show little interest in preparing for the inevitable war. However, as Vaygr attacks increase under their new leader, the brilliant and vicious Makaan and the Taiidan Republic assimilated under their banner, the New Daiamid realizes the urgency of the situation and agrees to Karans demands to construct a new mothership, powered by the mysterious Hyperspace Core. Karan quickly makes it clear that once again she will allow no one to lead the fleet but herself. ![]()
