Homeworld 2 Single Player Race Mods
These mods
replace the standard Hiigaran and Vaygr races with some of the single
player races (such as the popular Progenitors or the Bentusi) or refer
to the unused material found or associated with the game during its
development phase. |

Dust
Wars TC |
|
Relic
recently released details about an earlier version of the game that
was dropped and rewritten (the so called "Dust
Wars" version - more details here)
that many fans feel would have made for a better campaign than the
one that was eventually released. Some of you may have seen the teaster
video released for it in 2002, but you can find out the full story
of the problematic history of HW2's development at the Homeworld
Shipyards. The Dust Wars TC seems to
be a custom single player campaign that aims to recapture the "spirit"
of the Dust Wars abandoned version, rather than a slavish recreation
of it. It was only announced in November 2004, so there's little to
see yet. See also ModDATABASE
entry. Not entirely sure of its current
status, actually; I think its on hold or something. Current version:
Pre-Beta v0.2. |

Nomad
Bentusi Garden |
|
A mod that uses
the immensive Bentusi keyhole shaped megaship (as seen in the single
player campaign) as its centrepiece. |

Another Progenitor
custom mod. This one harks back to the in-game prehistory when the
Progenitor race was at its height, known as The
First Time. This is looking decidedly moribund. |

This mod takes a lot of the
old concept Homeworld 2 art, a number of old dropped concepts and
a fair bit of original fan work and mixes it all together in something
that shaping up to be really stylish and very slick. If you've ever
seen the old "Dust Wars" promo for Homeworld 2 then some
of these long discarded items will immediately be recognisable. Most
notable is the titanic Vaygr Command Carrier
and the mindbogglingly vast Progenitor
Foundry. You can also track it at its RelicNews
Forum thread. Current version: NG_PreAlpha.
This mod's been somewhat quiet since 2004.

Progenitor
Mod |
|
The Progenitors
are the ancient civilisation that initially created the Hyperspace
Cores that drive the plot in the single player missions. Think of
vast ancient structures with colossal vessels and powerful artifacts
and you'll get some idea of what to expect. The usual Elder Species
hi jinks! This site already has a very simple Keepers
Mod; the Keepers being the near-industructible Progenitor capital
ships that make life very difficult for you mid way through the single
player campaign. The Progenitors score some extra custom ships, although
everything at this stage is still very rudimentary. Current version:
0.3. Mod is looking
dubious... |
