Update #1
Well I'll break it down here. First, as usual, I did this on my own.
-6 factions: RHN (Royal Hiigaran Navy), UVC (United Vaygr Crusade), ITA (Imperial Taiidani Alliance), TRH (Turanic Raider Horde), PHG (Progenitor Honor Guard), BSE (Beast Subversion Entity)
-My custom maps (will have (BF) before them some have a custom music track)
-Runes (affect you and your allies, must be captured unless given to a player by default) ex: Haste, big mobility/speed boost.
-Mod focuses on combat though research exists, no ships require it however to win you will need strike craft and capitals, without capital ships your strike craft have no firepower support, and without strike craft, your capital ships have no cover fire, either way, they will all die (assuming your enemy has enough ships compared to you, say you send in 2 destroyers or cruisers alone and he whips out 6 to 10 bombers/assault corvette, your destroyers will be dead fast). Research trees are similar for better balance i.e. all races have Lvl 1 through 3 armor and speed upgrades that are accessed the same way.
I could probably write a book on what I did so that is all the main stuff that matters when it comes to playing this.
oh btw...the factions...ships are named according to class for example...
hgn interceptor is RHF Perseus
hgn destroyer is RHD Hades
In other words the third letter is the class name, in cases like Fighters and Frigates, a lower case letter of the second letter is added
hgn torp frig is RHFr Poseidon
Fixed download is now up here Filefront.com
Update #2 (now #3 I guess) this issue with Hiigaran (RHN) resourcers not being able to be built has been fixed in the above DL

played this it loads i have all six races to each AI and myself, the Turanic raiders xD. anyhow, it varies but i believe that while you did a good mod, however something in the files is causing your mod to crash while in the skirmish, it could be too many missles that are classified as platforms, it could be too much for the engine to handle at one time but then again it could be something else. all the other mods i have downloaded have shown no willingness to crash. if you do plan to have this upgraded, you might want to go through the coding see what you can improve on your end because i like it and would like to see about completing a match as Turanic Raiders.
Dont know if you have noticed but the Filefront.com link doesnt provide a shortcut in the download, the big. is their but no shortcut to play. I put the big. in the data folder. ??? Plz respond asap iv tried alot of mods and luv homeworld 2 but i never seem to find 1 with the beast as a playable race.
that is probly because I had to reuploaded everything when filefront redid their site
to make a shortcut for mods add -mod (.big file name here).big in the Target line (in properties)
i have been trying to get the homeworld mod to work. I have the file in my data and my homeworld 2 target is Homeworld2.exe" -mod (.big HM2_Factionized.big).big
i downloaded this after the firefront update
just have the name of the .big file you dont need parentheses like
-mod HW2_Factionized.big
nevermind. I found directions in a different mod.
Umm. I'm kinda new with this. Where is the shortcut?
First of all great mod. But I'm having a little problem. In the "Build" box and the task bar all the new units only appear as white boxes even though I can see the units themselves cleary on the screen. Also some of the projectiles come as white panels, for example the main gun of the hig assault carrier.
Is there any way to fix this?
thx in advance
Uh it's not like that for me, so I don't know what to do about that.
Well, and the Kadesh???? You can add the Kadesh race and some infected Kadesh ships for Beast.
