how does one go about creatng a background like this?
CRC503
i always liked the idea of building ones own ships however i do know that that would be somewhat impractacl in this game due to the fixed races and culture, Also i think that the ability to board and steal enemy ships or structures would be a neat concept to do in a space combat setting, like the advent could use telekinesis or something like that to take over the minde of the crew etc.. i have some other ideas but they need to be a bit refinrd so i will be back soon
while i do like the way that the back story is presented in the manual and the website i do wish there was a bit of a more focused direction for the background. Im not exactly asking for a storyline in the game or something, however i do think text based stories that come out once and a while would ba a cool little thing to do.
at the moment i go by the Immortal Crusaders with each faction. I havent really taken the time yet to create seprate names for each faction nor have i gotten to the point of naming capitol ships or planets.
Well would that mean that what the Vasari are running from would be advent-esque? Or could it be some sort of ancient race that is even older than the Vasari that they somehow awakened or provoked or unintentanlly brought from another galaxy?
I have been looking at some other games to hold me down while i wait for the big ones like Empire: Total War and for the actual entrenchment. Sword of the stars has sparked my intrest as well as GalCiv 2. Which would you prefer and are there any other recomendations out there. I kinda want to get the whole empire building thing in a sci-fi setting if that helps at all. Thanks for the recommensations!
thank you that did it
I totally agree with Carbon. Also i dont understand why some ppl want to let the starbases to have the ability to phase jump, that totally defeates the puprose of this being a game of defence when the biggest defensive structure you have can be used as an offensive weapon. NO MOVING STARBASES!
I have started having a problem with the team colors in that every team is a different one and i am red. However when the game actually loads i end up being green and all the other teams are red. Has anyone else had this problem and if so knoww how to fix it?
yeah just read the book that came wit it if you got the retail version but there is also a story on this website
