agreed. its a shame because some of us are really giving it our all for our stories. When you look at the other categories you see that the rest of this forum teems with life. I wonder why there aren't more people interested in Galciv II AARs. anywho keep it going. I may not respond all the tiem but I read. Im kind of a half lurker
Kaleb Zeed had never envisioned becoming a pirate. During his youth he had never been one to cause trouble for his parents or the authorities in his hometown of Dover in England. He had considered himself lucky. His parents were low level government officials for the local UEF authorities. They made enough money for him to attend school through university. A very rare priviliedge indeed. It was during his phase of higher level education that he truly began to see the truth about t
This thread will be reserved for vignettes and short stories from the universe of The Story of Mankind . When writing the original AAR I thought it would interesting to see an event from a different point of view in order to give more insight into the event as a whole. This is what I will attempt to do with these short stories. Do not expect this thread to be updated regularly. I will be writing as ideas pop into my head and I have no pl
Well thanks fellas! Just wanted to let you know that I've started playing the game for the second installement of The Story of Mankind . As per usual I've gotten caught up in playing and must now stop myself before I get too far in the game. You know when you want to quit and the little robot asks you "Are you sure you want to quit . A few more turns wouldn't hurt" I'm the guy who says "oh all right, but just a few more!" and before I kn
Excellent. Thank you sir.
super newb question. What is it? what does it do if it's on or if it's off for my game? cheers
Author's note: There are many things I wish to say about this aar. First and foremost is the terrible way it started out. The fact that I made a switch from first person to third person is unacceptable. I have learned a good lesson here however; MAKE SURE YOUR GAME IS WELL UNDER WAY BEFORE STARTING YOUR AAR!! second: though i feel like this story showed great promise I feel like I never fully developed the characters and story linees the way that I would have li
Namus, Had never read any of your stuff, but after starting to read this great story I might just go through the all the old aars and see if you got anything else there to read. Gripping stuff. I feel small and insignificant next to you. cheers sir.
hiya mambaman. Wicked story, sorry i've been away for a while and i finally just managed to catch up. The war goes well! kutgw my friend.
EPILOGUE The war with the Drengin ended as Vice-Admiral Klaus Muckler predicted. As Terran troops swept aside the defenses on Kona the Imperial government chose to surrender and bow to the will of the mighty Terran Federation. They had no idea that an Artificial Intelligence construct had
Earth Sol System Capital world of the Federation Capital City of New Johanesburgh Derek Ohio sat in his large comfortable leather chair in his large well decorated office with a wall window overlooking the sparkling blue ocean. Such comforts were the benefits being Prime Magistrate of the Galactic Federated Terran Republic. The comforts eased the stress of the job at times when things got out of hand. This was one of those times. Ohio was not

I won't be giving anything away, but though this story may be coming at an end soon rest assured the saga is far from over. update in a few
Earth Sol System Homeworld of the Terran Federation Capital city of New Johanesburgh Bradshaw held the report in his hands with trembling hands. In his mind their was no doubt that this would reverberate throughout the entire Federation population. The scourge of the pirates, as he became known after his successfull operation in the border worlds, was dead. Bradshaw put down the report after reading through it quickly. He leaned back in his chair and pick

I loev C&C threads they always bring up good points and inevitably there will always be disagreements. Here's my opinion for what it's worth. Judging older games by the standards of today is a fatal flaw. One cannot say that back in '93 Dune 2 (which I spent ocuntless hours playing and loved to death) was an awesome game and then all of a sudden today it sucks. If back then you played a game to death but today you wouldn't toluch it... well thats understanda
I think the idea of story not being necessary but beng expected depends on one's point of view. For me a sotyr makes up 50% of the game. If a story has a terrible sotyr with an impossible plot, but has good graphics andwicked gameplay, I'll play it once but never pick it up again.
I'm a huge fan of Frank Herbert's Dune. Originally he wrote a saga of six books including the classic first novel Dune . I've also discovered a series of prequels by his son Brian Herbert co-authored by Frank J Anderson. There is a trilogy prequel entitled House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and House Corrino. The style of writing is very different from his fathers but if you like DUne you'll like thses prequels. They also made anoher trilo
lol thanks charon2112. The reason I actually posted this was because I woul do exactly as you ssay but when my computer tabbed the Galciv2 program it would crash every time I would try to go back into the game. cheers mate
thanks to GMR Leon for the story clarification. I will have to go back adn look for the board with the newspaper clippings. Thanks to all for your comments. Psychoak: Deus Ex was defenitely NOT an RPG. Part of what made DEus EX such an amazing game was that it brought a new genre to the table. A type of FPS mixed with elements of an RPG (such as inventory and upgrading your character in the way you saw fit). can't wait to see what DX3 will be like
