Apparently there is a mod that turns off reactive scaling for HW1 remastered. Can anyone out there post the instructions on how to apply this mod? I would like to play the original campaign with the graphic upgrades of the remastered version, but I don't want to deal with the changes introduced by the reactive scaling mechanic.

Thanks

Sadly with the new 2.0 patch (that the gog version has already) all mods have to redone, so it will take a bit for it to be available.

Contrary to popular belief, original Homeworld absolutely contained (link pointing to documentation of original HW source code, check "AI Scripting System Specs.doc") enemy fleet scaling. If it didn't, it would become ridiculously easy extremely fast - essentially you'd just select all you have, attack order the enemy and wait for the results. Remastered version changes scaling in order to accommodate balancing changes, but difficulty-wise, it remains about the same - enemy fleets are designed in order to give you a challenge regardless of your fleet size, however your fleet size helps you by giving you more options in overcoming the enemy, effectively making the game easier anyway (so it's not like building a large fleet is pointless - besides, epic space battles!)

So basically... If you want the game to not be a challenge at all, disabling scaling will make it so since the way scaling works is by adding more ships to "player arrives with next to no fleet" baseline. If you wish to play it like it was intended, leave the scaling in.

Any news on this? I'm really not a fan of the HW2 style enemy scaling.
