Homeworld 2 FX - New Hope

Hwfx.galaxygaming.net
**16/7/2008** FX v1.83 is now available
---


Introduction
The FX Mod is a modification for Homeworld2 led by the 9CCN Team, a group of Chinese modders who are known for their work on the popular Gundam SEED modification.

The goal of the FX mod is to bring back all races from Homeworld1 and add a ton of changes to the current Homeworld2. Examples include new units, special abilites, textures, maps, player modes and many more things that cannot be found in any other mods so far.

The current playable races are the Hiigaran, Vaygr, Taiidan, Kadeshi, Progenitors and Turanic Raiders, each with their own advantages, technology tree and units. The Bentusi are currently being developed and are said to be 'three races in one'.

Even with the amount of awesome changes that have been made so far the creators say the entire FX concept is done for 50%. Many people have marked this mod as their favorite modification for Homeworld2 when v1.72 got released, and it only gets better!

First of all, this isn't advertising as it concerns the relocation of the homepage/forum of this modification. I just post it to inform all people watching/tracking this mod. Thanks for understanding.

If you have clicked the homepage link you probably ended up a fairly dead FX forum with no topics to reply to. The FX Community has been dormant for some time now, and without realising I uploaded the mod here while we were planning to remake the forums at a different host at the same time. My bad, we all make mistakes which is what we are humans for.

Long story short, we have just finished the construction of a brand new forum, this time running on the latest IPB version, 2.3.4. I'd like to alert all people interested in this mod or tracking it we have a new forum -- with not much content yet as I finished it 2 hours ago -- that will be the new home for the official FX Discussion Community.

There are ton of things to do which will be included within the next few days. So don't worry about the forums looking plain, it'll change soon. For now, please sign up. Thanks in advance.
