History YMMV / HomeworldDesertsOfKharak

** During the ending cutscene for some unknown reasons there i-- GAALSIEN Air UNITS INBOUND.

* BoringButPractical:
** A small group of Railgun/Heavy Railgun ''will'' melt any non-strikecraft ground units without even being seen if they have high ground bonus and line of sight. Good placement of them can easily lock down one-third of most multiplayer maps.
** Coalition AAV is a dead-simple tank for clearing out strikecrafts in early game. Yet its smokescreen ability is ''very'' useful for blocking firing lines of enemy weapons (especially ranged-class units), and preventing a lot of potential damage on more critical units like Salvagers or Battlecruisers.

** While outlawed by the Coalition at large, they managed to excel the desert and created a self-sufficient armies that constantly threaten all other kiithid for years.

* ZergRush: Sandskimmers. Sandskimmers. Sandskimmers. Usually this is what Gaalsien vs Gaalsien multiplayer matches will devolve into, due to the Gaalsien having no reliable anti-strikecraft units early on.

* GameBreaker: Cruisers in singleplayer. Once you have a good mix of them rolling, all you have to worry about are Gaalsien EMP projectile and carrier's missile attacks. Battlecruiser in particular can soak a lot of damage and dole out death after death to anything in close vicinity while capable of AA defense. They're just as deadly in multiplayer, but naturally a lot harder to successfully research and build.

* {{Metagame}}: The metagame evolved quickly in the first few weeks. Examples include Baserunner Turret Expand, Cruiser Rush, Rails Spam or Skimmer Spam, and so on... Due to how researches are done inside the Carrier itself, care must be taken in reading opponent's units to guess his/her current tech and counter properly.
