Homeworld:
Empires
(Kadeshi Mod) |
|
This work in progress mod incorporates
the religious Kadeshi single player campaign
race from the original Homeworld
into Homeworld 2. The Kadeshi were those twitchy guys armed with the
swirling clouds of Swarmer ships, those
ferocious Multi-Beamed Frigates and the
impressive needle shaped motherships. This
is still a work in progress with no downloadables to show as yet,
but the screen grabs are looking pretty damn spectacular. Latest version:
in mid 2005 there was a closed
beta test. See also: modDATABASE

Homeworld 2 Mini Mods These are simple Mini
Mods that simply change a small part of the game; they might add a
few extra ships here, tinker with some aspects of the game there or
simply change a few graphics and sounds. More often than not, you'll
find small fiddles like these being combined with other custom mods. |

Custom
Vapour Trails |
|
Quite simply,
all this does is change the look of the engine vapour trails left
by all Strikecraft. |

Debris
Mini-Mod |
|
Its a small speculative graphic
alteration, but the results are extraordinary. Essentially, every
destroyed ship leaves reclaimable debris behind, including Strike-Craft.
The resulting clouds of battle wreckage in the game is amazing and
really looks like the space detritus caused by a large space battle.
This will almost certainly challenge slower PC's, though. You can
find all the downloads and details at its forum
thread at Relic
News. Current version: 0.3A |

Dynamic
Series |
|
This refers to two well regarded
Mini Mods, Dynamic Fighters and Dynamic
Capships by Homeworld 2 modding luminary Alex
Drake, who is currently creating the amazing Angels
Fall First Total Conversion. Both these mini-mods change the mechanics
of how Strikecraft and Frigates fly around in Homeworld 2 battles.
Instead of squadrons flying in then out in long strafing runs, the
Dynamic
Fighters mini-mod results in wonderfully fluid dogfighting with
elegant curves and spectacular action. The Dynamic
CapShips unshackles all Frigates so that they engage targets in
all directions, rather than remain clamped to some imaginary ecliptic.
The Dynamic Series have been used to great effect in other major mods,
such as the PDS Mod, Siege
Station Mod and the Ex Mod. You
can chase up these, and other work by Alex, at Solaris.

The Vaygr
Tutorials Mod adds some extra Vaygr missions to the Tutorial
menu. Unlike the Hiigarans, the Vaygr
aren't the most obvious force to pick up and successfully play in
multiplayer. Many Homeworld 2 players considered them broken until
strategy forum threads like this one
on RelicNews woke up a lot of people to their Vaygr's potential. Current
version: 2.0. See also: modDATABASE
entry and RelicNews forum thread. |
