Homeworld 3 is the newest installment in the renowned series of strategies. As in the case of predecessors, your success will depend in many cases on your knowledge about keybinds (remember that you can rebind most of them). The situation is even more complex, as the game offers two types of bindings – Modern and Legacy. If you are a new player (check out our guide), you should probably pick the first option; in the case of veterans, the second one may be more tempting. Regardless of your choice, we present you both sets.
