The epic struggle of the Hiigarans and their leader Karan S'jet continues. Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients.

Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

Complex Enhanced v 8.5


Install by extracting the contents of the download to your Homewolrd2/data folder. 

Create a shortcut to homeworld2, and add the following commands to the target line :
"-mod complexenhanced85.big" - this will make you run the mod
"-hardwarecursor" - this will make your mouse cursor adjust to your screen size
"-w XXX h YYY" - set XXX and YYY to your resolution values - for example 1280 and 720
"-forcelan" - this will let you connect to everyone, even if they use a different executable

Please make sure to visit our forums at www.complexenhanced.userboard.netOn the forums, we're discussing changes beyond the scope of the original complex mod - we will get rid of the mess in the source code of the mod's mechanics, and as a consequence, much of the lag will be gone, as well as our own work will be made easier. You can follow all that on the forums though.

Modular Cruiser

Modular Destroyer

No more talk, check below what we did so far:

Complex Enhanced 8.5 Change log

---Design Cleanup : 

  • Close Impact and A Dark Star removed due to too large size, and bad gameplay
  • Benchmark game mode temporarily disabled for this release, it needs re-scripting

---IMPROVEMENTS/BALANCING

  • Hiigaran resource collector cost decreased from 600 to 500
  • Vaygr resource collector cost decreased from 600 to 550
  • Increased the Hiigaran resource collector's acceleration and turning speeds to be closer to vaygr levels (Now they are only twice as slow instead of 3 times.)
  • The Advanced Assault Frigate has been renamed to Assault Frigate
  • The (ex) Advanced Assault Frigate no longer requires it's chassis research to be unlocked
  • Advanced Sentinel cost decreased from 3000 to 2000, build time decreased from 150s to 130s

  • Viper missiles' mass decreased to 100
  • Viper and cruiser missiles' collision multipliers reduced from 3 to 2
  • Cruiser missiles' mass reduced to 300

As I recall, this concept was baised on the series Battlestar Galatica, so how about A Battlestar Mod for skirmish mode and make available the other universe fleets available as well ,-StarWars ,Star trek,B5,Andromda etc there must be alot of gamers who would like to see a head to head between a Battlestar and a Stardestroyer
