Reply to Yet another Terran AAR in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

So, we draw towards the epic conclusion. I am really, REALLY pumped for the remainder of this AAR and also a bit sad--this may be the first of several conflicts between the two great factions, but either way, this AAR is now in its final stage, and I doubt that I'll find anything like it again. In any case, something tells me the worst is yet to come. Personally, I believe that soon enough there will be a second Great Galactic War. <p

I've been following for years now and I still check in about once every week--because a new episode of this thing will make my day! I know how a lack of motivation with something like this feels man, but please know that you still have fans out there. This AAR is the only reason I'm ever on this site, and it's outlived both my time actually playing the game. I still maintain that it's the best AAR I've ever read anywhere. All I can say is keep it up!

These instalments were well written, but not very exciting. Although I MUCH prefer this style of short-but-often updating, you do have to consider the action contained within each episode as well. Though this ended with a cliffhanger--which is good--its content is still just a string of minor events, so it basically just feels like the most recent 2 parts were leftovers from Part 20. Try to consider the rhythm of the posts and not just the length--while having the updates

Cool! Sorry for taxing so long on the reply man. If you need help with the IC stuff, I would be way more than happy to provide it. If for example you wanted to do the report on Terran ships, or the fleet deployments, I could help you with structuring it, provide ideas or assist you with the actual writing if you need--I wouldn't presume that I could do it nearly as well as you, but I could give you a base to improve on and take some of the work load out of it. Send me all the relevan

I've been following this AAR for a very, very long time now. It's the best I've ever read, so I think I always will. :) Nothing compares to this, Qrtxian. The Intelligence report was AMAZING. I'm positively thrilled to see new updates whenever they appear--so please, if you can, post more! What I'd really love to see is some more IC stuff from the Terran Alliance. Perhaps a collection of shorter reports: those local commanders assessing the defence o

As for the no fly zone, I think you misunderstand me. In GC2, you can only see something if you get a ship close enough. If you restrict that space, they can't fly a ship in and see what's there.

Yeah. Another thing for a no-fly zone could be an area that you don't want people to get teir sensors on--for example, a military buildup or a terror star under construction, so you're not just restricting your whole territory--just a sector or something. Also, the whole thing with war shouldn't be so absolute. Say somebody flies into my restricted territory and I open fire upon them. That's different to if I used a terror star on one of their systems--t

These are all really great ideas! I especially like the idea of placing a flag to establish a "no fly zone" if you will. It would allow you to much better understand AI intentions--if they went into a restricted area you know they're probably not being friendly. It would also open up opportunities for awesome diplomatic crisis's. And on that note, I'd also like some more diplomatic options in that area. Say, for example, somebody violates a restricted zone,

Good point--I agree, diplomacy was one of my favourite things about GCII because it was so in depth. Still, more options would definitely help. Maybe some tools for war co-ordination with allies, like being able to get a conference with all the guys on one side of a war and say "this fleet will attack station X" and that sort of thing. At the very least, I'd like to have the ability to just mark a target.

Just found out about this game today, and I am incredibly exited! This is something I posted a while back in the Galactic Civ 2 forums. Of course, at the time a third game was only a remote possibility for me, but now I'm re-posting it so that it's at least in the right place on the chance some of this might be useful. Ok, I really do love this game. I got it a long time ago and have played it on and off, but there have been a few, ever present

Sorry guys, I thought I posted this earlier, but I must have exited without posting or something. While looking around my folders I found out I had Fraps, which solved this problem. Sorry again.

That's not what I mean, I thought I posted the all clear. Obviously I didn't so sorry for that. I'll go do it again now.

OH, thanks! I'll be sure to make those into shipyard planets then...So, what did you think of the AAR itself?

AAR of a NOOB in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Introduction: Okay, so before I get started here’s a bit of general info. I’m starting another AAR because unlike last time, I now know how to take screenshots and upload them, meaning that this one can actually work. As for how I plan to do this, it will be mainly factual but every episode will have a few ‘snippets’ from made up characters. It might be the captain of my flagship, or the President, ect. As you might expect, I'm playing as the Terrans. I hav

Thanks! As for the folder directory though, I followed the path and it worked perfectly but there is no ScreenShots folder. I've searched for it and manually looked through the folders but no joy. Any ideas?

Thanks for clarifying that for me mate. I have no idea how to make styles or templates but since I'm going to do an Arcean AAR soon I think it would be nice to do one for them. Can you tell me how to do it?

Okay, I'm gonna start now. Well, that is, as soon as I find the folder where screenshots go for this game. I haven't changed any of the files, so can somebody tell me what the screenshot folder is called and where it is?
