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 is a multiplayer and skirmish mod for Homeworld 2 that adds new units to both Vaygr and Hiigaran Races as well as enabling the Keepers, Raiders and Kadeshi as playable races.
One of the new Raider mechanics is going to be so-called trophies. Unlocked when you manage to reach the Pirate Lord rank, Trophies are granted based on the races present on the map.
Showing the prowess of your pirate fleets, this is the modern equivalent of beheading people to show your enemy the heads of their fallen. Taking heart in this icon of your power as a true Pirate, your ships will fight more effectively.
What bonus exactly the trophies grant depends on the race the trophy originates from.

Nice morale effect, you could also make a certain penalty for enemy vessels fighting within a certain range of the ship if doing this doesn't become too overpowered.
Or maybe choose pride vs terror, pride boost your units while terror have negative effects over enemy units.
awesome idea... i'll have an mural of trophy's of vaygr heads in my house, muhahahahahaha
where is the "trophy" located on the ship?
on either side, the big blue thing with the hiigaran logo on it.
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
Interesting idea. Can there be more than one 'trophy'? As in, a hiigaran, and a kadeshi, and a vaygr trophy all on one ship?
It isn't planned as there are some space issues but I guess you could set it up so they all fit. The idea was: you can have 4 lords and 2 enforcers, meaning 6 trophies totaled... then again, in most games you don't really get that far so that is a fair point.
I'd say one on the Enforcers and 2-3 on the Lords. just make the Lord ones not be bigger then one of the three 'sections' and the aesthetic will work.
can't wait for new release, that Templar is a beast....
cant wait to steal a few >:3
We're not sure on trophies for the enforcer yet, this is still very much a discussion point. Most likely it will remain at lord only for the time being until I've figured out how the system will work in the end.
