Description:
What is this?

Nothing that probably hasen’t been done before, it’s a personal mod that i work on from time to time that brings aims to bring back all minor and major factions back into the game, so you can play with all units that homeworld has to offer.
As of now this mod has no custom content, but as long as there is a demand for this mod it might be added at a later date, i have some experience in coding, modding and 3d modelling with Blender, as well as experience with Photoshop for textures, so the possibility is there.
None of the factions added have any AI for now, that means that you as a player can use them, but CPU won’t know what to do other than to retaliate when attacked. So it’s recommended that you use them but give the CPU any of the vanilla factions, such as Hiigarans, Vaygr, Kushan or Taiidan.
There is also plans to add in Soomtaw and the Beast faction from the Cataclysm series, this would probably be done by just converting the old, none high def units over to Homeworld 2, which would work but not look as good as the high detailed ships. Beast would also lose the ability to use the conversion beam to balance the game.
Factions included in the mod as of now:

Turanic Raiders

List of units:

  • Bandit-Class Interceptor
  • Thief-Class Corvette
  • Brigand-Class Missile Corvette
  • Assassin-Class Ion Array Frigate
  • Carrier
  • Mothership (Carrier)
  • Taiidan Resource Collector/Controller
  • Taiidan Probe

Todo:
Mostly done, in future replace the Taiidan probe, collector and controller with faction unique units. When this is done we can add more units to this fleet. Would be nice to Turanic outpost replace the mothership in the future.

Bentusi

List of units:

  • Bentusi Tradeship
  • Bentus Mothership
  • Hiigaran Resource Collector/Controller
  • Hiigaran Probe

Todo:
This faction still needs alot of work and is very WIP, needs more units such as strike craft, a.t.m. they can’t build new resource collectors and controllers, so this needs to be fixed. In the future the plan is to give them faction specfic collectors and controllers. and more units.

Kadesh

List of units:

  • Swarmer
  • Advanced Swarmer
  • Multi-Beam Frigate
  • Needle Mothership
  • Kushan Resource Collector/Controller
  • Kushan Probe

Todo:
This faction works fine now, fuel mechanic is gone, in the future the plan is to give them faction specific resource collectors and controllers, and then add more units to the faction.

Progenitor

List of units:

  • Keeper Drone
  • Keeper Mover
  • Keeper Destroyer
  • Keeper Dreadnought
  • Sajukk Mothership
  • Hiigaran Resource Collector/Controller
  • Hiigaran Probe

Todo:
Needs alot of balancing done, would be nice to have something else as Sajukk as mothership as it is more of a OP battlecruiser. Faction specific resource collectors/controllers.

Notes

As long as this mod has a demand for it, i will keep updating it.
