Path To Victory
Homeworld 2 mod | Released Apr 11, 2010
Long ago, when the word 'Hiigara' rang only as a hollow dream, the kiith of Kharak never imagined they would walk the Path to Victory. But, when they reclaimed their Homeworld and proclaimed themselves 'Hiigaran', they believed they had reached their goal. How wrong they were. 150 years after Hiigaran landfall, conflict rages across the Galaxy.
Path to Victory aims at enhancing Homeworld 2 gameplay by adding new races, factions for the existing races and a bunch of new ships.
The gameplay focuses around factions, choices and fast paced combat. Each race plays its own way and each faction has its advantages and disadvantages. Play to their strenghs and you'll surely win. Fail to do so and you will not succeed. As the old saying goes:
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

The Price
Warriors of the Vaygr war fleets flock to battle in the thousands, rivaled only by the fanatical millions of the Kadeshi Swarm. Ancient Keeper AIs, dormant for centuries, return to life and make battle with the slithery beings which call themselves pirates - and any other foolish enough to stand in their way. Amidst the tumult, the proud men and women of the Hiigaran Empire stand strong against all.
What they do not speak of are those lost. Countless hulls ruptured, millions sucked into the dead of space. To the bomber pilot it is the flash of a mass driver, burning death he sees too late to evade. To the frigate captain it is the panicked cry of his sensors operator: "Torpedo inbound! Brace for impact!" And aboard the battle cruiser, all know the end has come when the damage report systems announce ruptures in all fusion chambers.
But what form the end comes in does not matter. Death is absolute. One might only pay the respect the fallen are due. Honor their sacrifice in pursuit of the ultimate goal, for there is always a price to pay for Victory.
Alpha 7.1 - our official good-bye
With Alpha 7.1 released, Path to Victory comes to an official end. We hope you'll remember this mod as fondly as those thousands of digital souls that died in your epic space battles. On second thought, we hope you'll have fonder memories. Everyone knows you don't care how many little digital souls you commit to death. The more the merrier, eh?
Here's the link to the Download page
And, while we're remembering fond things...
- Turanic Raider Destroyer, which rests in peace along with many of our other concepts 
- The Snailship, which looked so good it had to be cut
- The Kadeshi Drone, which never made it out of concept phase
-The Holy Kadeshi Mothership which was just to big to work ingame
- The Nabaal Factory... wait, we actually made concept art which ended up ingame? Oh, yeah. That would be this one.
Path to Victory was a fun time for all of us but, eventually, we come to...

One of the most thourough and thoughtful Homeworld 2 mods out there, Relic should take note when it pulls its collective finger out for Homeworld 3!

Also the Keepers are kinda underpowered now that the reavers can only shoot a phase cannon and not ion beams anymore, and limited unit caps.
You guys should make MP work at least...
MP works
I'm Just going to say that we had one hell of a run with this mod. Thank you for it and enjoy life.
As I played so many Homeworld2mods who is the best？I think is this
Damn I loved being part of this mod and I'm glad I could meet the badasses that made it happen. Good to see it brought to a triumphant close.
we have a PTV network on tunngle! it's called "HW2: PTV mod" (no quotes) password: mololu
as many HW2 players out there, i think this mod is one of the best ever made,hopefully i'll keep playing this final release for a few more years :)
Molulu, you do know that you don't need to end this like this.
You can seize active development but during your life you'll probably get ideas to implement in your mod, either your own ideas or others.
As the best ideas are implemented the mod gets so much better.
This way you could do yearly Christmas releases,
you don't need to be modding active, just some times during the year when you feel for it and want to include some ideas.
SOrry to see your mod come to an end mololu you were an awesome modder really wish you would stick around hw 2 modding, while yes its a dead game and evil assengine but its fun to mod whatyou can =)
