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.
As Path to Victory goes into the last stages of development you'll be getting a few neat additions like this dead Planet Killer hanging ominously over Hiigara.
The idea here is to carry on something I started a long time ago and kind of forgot about with all the races we ended up making: Make maps more interesting.
Space might be big and empty but there's no reason it can't include a few nice things to look at too, is there?
awesome as aways,but can i ask for something?
please,can some one write an history where the higs are killing some generic empire like the vaygr one.because they are attacked and they kick the *** of who do this,but they never counter attack!it's time for the great empire answer the new threads with something new and powerful like an new hiigaran war faction whose the only purpose of they existence it's to annihilate the enemies of the empire!
Oh! I just figured out that you used the word 'Relic' deliberately. I like the homage there.
Hehe :) yep @ Hell
@ ariel: It's a bit of a presentation thing, I can't present new vaygr ships getting their shiny butts kicked so they go off and kill hiigara.
However once the hiigs get some new toys (and they definitly will get some new stuff) They'll get their chance to go out and blow their puny enemies up!
i always did wonder. did the higarans ever attack anyone or do they just defend, colonize and do research? By attack I mean did they ever start a war.
Before they got Exiled they did, The taiidan Empire and the hig empire conquered various systems around their homeworld's. This was during when the bentusi were peacekeepers of the galaxy, but they couldnt be everywhere at once. Then came the battle that forced the hiigarans into exile after they destroyed the Taiidani Homeworld, it was the battle that the bentusi crushed the hiigaran navy and then the taiidani attacked seeking revenge. The Taiidan wanted to slaughter all surviving higgy but the bentusi and the galactic council put pressure on the taiidan to spare them. Hence you know the story of the first homeworld game.
Eh, a little rusty, check the Manual, as copied here: Shipyards.relicnews.com
If you want to skip ahead to the relevant part, skip to "Conflict Again Besets the Galaxy", and read until "Life on Kharak". However, I strongly believe that everyone interested in the Homeworld universe should read this page from start to finish.
very niiiiice
