Homeworld 2 - Path To Victory v.7.1 - Game mod - Download

Path To Victory is a mod for Homeworld 2, created by Path to Victory Development Team.

Description:

Long ago, when the word 'Hiigara' rang only as a hollow dream, the kiith of Kharak never imagined they would walk the Path to Victory. But, when they reclaimed their Homeworld and proclaimed themselves 'Hiigaran', they believed they had reached their goal. How wrong they were. 150 years after Hiigaran landfall, conflict rages across the Galaxy.

Path to Victory aims at enhancing Homeworld 2 gameplay by adding new races, factions for the existing races and a bunch of new ships.

The gameplay focuses around factions, choices and fast paced combat. Each race plays its own way and each faction has its advantages and disadvantages. Play to their strenghs and you'll surely win. Fail to do so and you will not succeed. As the old saying goes:

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.

If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Credits

• IPS for his wonderful help on all accounts and incredible patience with my mood swings.

• Barnoess for the Compex Destroyer and Pride of Hiigara models

• Sinigr for doing the map and sound editing

• Ryuseimaru for translating the game files into german and a bunch of overall ideas I tend to underevaluate (sorry)

• Pegman for your wonderful campaign script, playing sounding board and being overall tolerant do my somewhat haphazard style

• Everyone in the testing team for testing and providing feedback. By name that is: Sudazima, LordGrantus, Railgunner2160, 23-down, radar33 (who I think is ajl on RN but I may be mistaken – sorry man).

• arielyssou for the two raider badges (sorry, had to replace the skull with a slightly more fitting skull)

• Relic for their Homeworld 2 game and quite a few nifty tools (even if they do crash *cough fxtool cough*)

• Pouk for his reworked Turanic Ion Array Frigate and minor kadeshi fixe

To install:

1) unpack the files to your HW2 Data folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Data)

2) Create a new shortcut to HW2 with the following after the original path in the TARGET field (copy & paste the original shortcut!):

-Mod PTV007.big

It will look something like:

"C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -Mod PTV007.big

you may also add the following (may improve performance): -luatrace -fragment_program 0 -hardwarecursor

NOTE: If you do not have the english HW2, I suggest adding -locale english to the path as well. This 'should' ensure you

can play with the correct ingame text. If you have any issues with localization, please post them in the ModDB Path to Victory forum and I will

try and help you out!

3) start Hw2 over the new shortcut
