v1.2 Modernized is the second incarnation of the v1.2 Community Patch that was first released in 2006. v1.2 Modernized is not a total overhaul of the base game. It is a basic mod that aims to preserve the experience and unit balancing of vanilla Homeworld2 while adding as little changes as possible, mainly focusing on implementing new graphical effects, HODs, sound effects and scripts used in the Tactical Fleet Simulator (TFS) total overhaul modification. This mod incorporates several new features, including some new game modes from the Homeworld2 modding community, new maps, and a single new Bomber unit for both races - which can be disabled in the game setup if one desires to play with the traditional ship roster.
