If you havent your probobly going wtf right about now, let me explain..

It is a 3D Real time strategy Game like homeworld with a fantastic engine. You manage planets, fleets and go around kicking peoples asses its kindof old now but I just got it recently. The only downside to it is the story lacks severly (and the 2 campaigns are basicly identical except they are different empires. Earth and Mars).

Theres an expansion coming out for it soon called The Solon Heritage. My thought was it would be quite fun to put freespace ships into this game especially since the game uses jump holes which is very much like subspace nodes of Freespace 2. I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in this if you have the game that is.

The official website for the game is http://www.hegemonia.info/
and here is the 'story':

The year is 2104 and humanity is engaged in a fratricidal war between the inhabitants of Earth and colonized Mars. After weeks of fierce battles and heavy losses, an opportunistic alien force emerges from the depths of space and threatens to take over the solar system - just when humanity is in its weakest and most divided state.

Like I said, the story wont win any awards but the engine is awesome.

Search is A-1 Supar.

Other than that, I think the gameplay sucks. Once you can build battleships and stations thats all anyone ever will build. Everything else is pointless. Completely unbalanced. There's no weapon diversity at all either(all the race's battleships, corvettes, fighters have the same weapons ratio as another race's). Graphics are nice, I'll admit, but everything else sucks IMO.

[JC128]

Thus the reason I want to mod it make fighters useful, make everything useful so its not just battleships out there hehe. Diversify the weapons and all that its all easily changed with some of the tools I have seen.

But yea as it is all people do is rush to build battleships.

wasn't this one of those pay per play things?

[JC128]

er. no

[Krackers87]

the hegemonia expansion or #2 will comee with toolz

[JC128]

Really krackers? I hadnt heard that, thats awesome. Would be really sweet to see a bunch of Hectates battling some shivans with that engine

[Krackers87]

we need to port the way the hegemonia ships explode to freespace

[JC128]

hehe that would be sweet, and put jump drives into hegemonia.. Jump holes are cool but too limited.

I installed the demo, failed to see the point in the demo and then uninstalled the demo. But then I never got in to Homeworld either.

It's good to see that a single underfunded game developer company can boom into the industry.

Ever mentioned that Digital Reality is Hungarian?

(Now that's my patriotism for a whole year...or more)

[Unknown Target]

DR also made Impermium Galactica one and two, for more references.
Anyways, I'm a big fan of Heg But the community is sorely lacking

[JC128]

Yea they were also making Imperium Galactica III but scrapped it =( that game looked tight.

Hegemonia is fun I just wanna see a bigger modding community for it is all =(

Reunion was their first game.

You can actually  see the evolution of their universe through theses games.

Check out the HOTU for Reunion - it's hard to complete, but a good (an quite old) game.
