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.

What? I can hear you whispering already... that Path to Victory is taking bloody long to release its updates. Well, here - I'm still doing stuff! Look at this wonderful rework of the Templar that replaces the boring old plasma guns with boring old ion cannon turrets...
All right, let me cut the sarcasm for a moment. And get into a little more depth about what's going on with Path to Victory
For one, real life is really cutting in to the modding work for the whole team and with christmas coming up it's likely things will get worse. This means I really don't have much time for making new things.
What time I do have is mainly spent coding the AI, fixing minor bugs and getting things set up so I can finish the hiigarans and polish off for the beta release.
The main things that have been worked on are:
- AI Difficulty: Expert AI is really a challenge now and will put up quite a fight with every race. There is still room for optimization but several AIs are a lot harder to beat now - even impossible sometimes.
- Research Options: There are a host of new research upgrades which are being added. The main concern here is allowing the player more ways to dump RUs in the lategame as I noticed a lack of things you could do in long games to give you an edge.
- Balance Tweaks: Things like the Keeper's dominance early-game and incredible weakness lategame are being addressed. The idea is to create a relatively balanced game for all races during all stages of the game.
Now, I know you're all looking forward to hearing more about the Hiigaran changes but for now I'm afraid you'll have to wait as no one in the team really has time to model the new ships we'd need.
