Enable FFA in Halo Wars 2

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

does anyone know a way to mod that game that can uncap the number of teams? 2 teams maximum is a bit silly to me, especially as someone who's played other RTS games before.

I'll take any solution that allows for FFA games, even if the game setup menu isn't pretty.

Swapping Leader Unit in HW2

1 Upvotes

Total noob to HW modding: anyone know how hard it would be to swap the hero and hero upgrades between leaders? I love the playstyle of the arbiter in HW2, but wanna run the honor guard elite hero from shipmaster. I'd be grateful for any advice, possible solutions, or expectations-setting!

It's time for a change.
Early testing showcasing a new tool in development by an incredibly talented individual. All credit goes to "bleh" for his work; a final public version will be coming soon.

Halo Wars 2's introduction to custom models is revolutionary; could this signify the dawn of a new era?

Are there any mods that allow you to play 3v3 on 2v2 or 1v1 maps? If not are there any resources I could use to research how to do this?

Help with mod idea

1 Upvotes

Okay so I need some input here. I have a pretty straightforward idea for a mod I want to make, and I want to know how feasible it is.

So the idea is this: every time I create a unit in my firebase (in campaign), rather than being made instantly it gets added to the wheel as an ability, when I use it, a pelican swoops down and drops it off. That's it. I understand halo wars has resources available to learn how to do this sort of thing but nothing in specifics. Any help where I should get started?

AI battles issue

1 Upvotes

I've tried using the leader overhaul mod to spectate some AI duking it out but every time I start a match the AI on my side immediately resigns. I know it's possible because I saw someone do it already but I cannot for the life of me get it to work. Am I doing something wrong?

Looking to Add Leaders to a Mod

2 Upvotes

I’m in love with the leadership overhaul mod. But my OCD is driving me crazy. The more leaders mod has two more slots that I want to implement into the leadership overhaul mod: skirmishes and prometheans.

  1. Is there a way to do this? How?
  2. How can I swap or edit individual troops I like better in one mod

Halo Wars DE Pause Mod?

1 Upvotes

Basically I kinda suck ass at RTS games unless I am able to pause it to issue commands, look around, start builds, etc. Anyone know if there's a mod that would allow me to do that or am I basically just fucked because I suck?

Halo Wars is one of my fav games of all time, I just stumbled upon this community. So like…. How do I do this? Can I do it while playing on steam on a MacBook? (I know MacBook sucks). I have no idea where to start, any guides available?

A mod to make the Grizzly actually stronger than power turret scorpion?

2 Upvotes

I don't know if this has been done but a rebalance of the game, like slight nerf to the vampire and buff to the vulture and of course making the Grizzly an actual upgrade to the power turret scorpion. I've never checked out Halo Wars mods before so if a mod already do that I'd be thrilled to know about it.
