Intelligence reports in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hey folks, Is there a way to get an intelligence Report off a foreign ship? Furthermore is there a way to get one of a foreign ship in orbit around their planet?

As a newcomer to AARs and this forum in particular, I A) don't knwo what a round robin is but am willing to give it a go and B) by looking at the list of AARs there are about 95% of them which are unfinished, If you're looking for something collaberative make sure you do it with people who will stick with it TO THE END.

I think the game settings are at the beggining of the thread. I would go back to the game and check it out but i've already started another game since and so the settings wouldnt be the same. The map is a duel however so there will only be the Drengin to wory about, and minor races. The galaxy is quite large; probably one "coche", i dont know what the word is in english, lower than the largest one. Happy you like it the next one should be interesting as well. Oh

Athena Capital City of Theseus Drenth System One Year after the appointment of Howard Anderson as Prime Magistrate Nolan sat in the plush comfortable chair and stared at the screen hanging from the ceiling. It was one of four allowing for an individual to always be able to stare at any one screen. GNN was the station of choice, and that didn't surprise him one bit. Currently the anchor was talking about the finishing touches to Cairo Starbase. In

Low Orbit over Jupiter's moon Calisto Naval weapons test area Sol System The ship skimmed above the surface of the large crater before going into a controlled dive to reach the bottom. In an instant two plumes of smoke exited the back of both wings as missiles were fired forward. The ship immediately did a a half barrel roll and pulled up at extreme speeds shooting out of the crater. It then accelerated even more to escape the moons orbit.

*revives the thread* ok so a couple of months later im finally ready to post a pic. I am using faststone capture and have uploaded an image onto imageshack. Now when posting a screenshot on the forum here which URL do i use? Im not too sure how to use imageshack properly. There are two choices of URLs, either embedable or thumbnail. Which one do i select?

I will read this to the end, there are far too many unfinished AAR's on this forum. I agree with you that there doesn't seem to be a lot of commenting but Im quite certain there are lurkers about. keep this story going.

Chapter Thirteen: New beginnings Mars Sol System Capital City of Marissa The official account of the first intelligent inter-species meeting that took place in November of 2227 is unclear at best. Any determined individual would have found that there was a great deal of effort to portray it as perhaps something other than what happened actually. For starters GNN reported that Alan Bradshaw

I'm not sure how well this is going to work without an actual story to go from for the rest of us ie: a game to tell a stroy from. Im know that a great many AAR have been told with purely fictitious elements not pertaining to the game but usually it helkps guide the person who is writing the aar.
