Advanced mod: Revived is a Home World 2 modification that specializes in taking the 2 existing races and expanding upon them. The idea, is to add in multiple different new ships, re-arm every ship in the game, and specialize each ship with a blended, but still clear role.
By giving the player more options, and doing it in a professionalized manner the mod "advances" the gameplay of Homeworld 2 into something different, something more fun, and yet still tactically fulfilling.

Advanced Mod: Revived in a nutshell is the mutated, basement slave, finally freed, version of Advanced Mod.

Shortly after Homeworld 2 hit store shelves I began work making a mod. I wanted to add more options to the game, and make the capital ships not so... well sadly armed.
I started off by changing the turrets on the destroyer into ion cannons, because I missed watching destroyers grind ships into pieces with beams of plasma. Next big thing I did was change the battlecruiser, by adding in more turrets to it.
After that the changes began to rack up, and up, and up, until a couple months after the release of HW2, I released Advanced Mod.
Back then though, there were nearly no frequently used models to choose from, and I had, and still have nearly no model making skills. So all of the ships reused the already available models.

It wasn't more than a couple years later that I joined the military and suddenly had another life I had to take care of before modding, so Advanced Mod, got left in the basement for a bit, while I did my job.
This of course left an unprofessional and incomplete modification.

Always having a copy of all of my mods stored, and backed up in my computer systems I would occasionally over the next 5 and a half years during my free time open up said archives and work on my mods.

It was during these times that I worked to further see to the dream of what I once hoped Advanced Mod would be. Fixing errors, streamlining items, and re-balancing until I literally couldn't crunch the numbers anymore, and doing it not for a release, but for my own enjoyment. I had somehow made this old unfinished mod into a nearly complete project.
Nearing the end of my tour in the military I was provided with some free time which I used to finish polishing up the mod and decided to release to the world as "HW2 Advanced Mod: Revived".
Still clearly with some kinks, I couldn't let the mod fall once more to the wayside without properly being shown to the world, so over the last year, I have been hard at work making the mod better.

This is what Advanced Mod, has turned into:
