Due to a number of bugs appearing in the "final" release of Onslaught (v1.6) I will be issuing one last new version (v1.7) on th 13th of July 2003. As well as bug fixes this release will improve a number of ships & gameplay features.
Onslaught is a tribute to Homeworld and Homeworld:Cataclysm, allowing you to play using all those ships that were "unflown" from both games. It completely replaces both the Beast & Somtaaw sides with the Kadesh, Bentusi, Turanic Raiders, Derelicts and many more besides. It's an opportuinity to deal with unfinished business! In a sense it's a "farewell" to the old games in advance of the new HW2 release.
Many people (myself included) did not enjoy HWC as much as HW. However, Onslaught changes every aspect of HWC. The game has been tweaked to bring the best of the HW & HWC together, blending HW style and settings with HWC's superior management, sensors and control. As well as changes to the game Onslaught also ships with 200+ new maps. Gameplay is MUCH faster than either of the original games, taking advantage of the better computers that (I hope) we all now have.
You can find the latest release of Onslaught at the official website (click on the WWW link at the bottom of this post). Here are some sceenshots showing just a few of the new ships in action:
