My first story!

I have stared to play on the metaverse and i thought i might tell youy what's happening.

from GalCiv2 Forums
YA for me i just started playing my first metaverse game.  
i plan to fill in this post as i continue playing, but please tell me what you think.

IN THE BEGINING:
After been banished from there home galaxy the Archin (pronounced ARC-IN), a race of worriers, settle a planet in the Florin system in hope of remaking there once great empire. it would start with this sector. with many habitable world and plenty of galactic resources this would be the strong hold for the Archin UpHeaval, with Lost City as their capital.

so the story begins...

If the Archins were to make a come back then many resources would need to be put into makeing a military, aready 3 race had made a strong foot hold in this system. wiping them out would not be easy. Drengin controlled a fair amount space unconfortably close to our empire forcing us to colonize in one direction, ths left us very exposed to the enemy. the Altarins controlled the most space whilst the talan prevented us from colonizing in the direction we wished to go. thus forcing us to move in one direction.

As you can see were in a bit of a squeeze here.

our need for new weapons to fight was huge, Lost Hero knew that weapons would be hard to come by at this early stage so anomilies would have to do for now. personaly leading the missions himself lost hero had his own personal cruiser modified for the task. drengin also had started to research anomilies and in a cataclysmic lost there survey vessel in a worm hole. they weren't happy.

the colony rush was fast aproching and the drengin were of to a flying start with 4 colony ship built and ready for deployment.

this wasn't a good sign.

after sending the 'new achin' colony ship to the near by forest planet of florin 2 the Archins relized the need to explore there enemys strong holds. there for the Archin Upheavel developed a new scout, the super scout. a ship made from an fighter chassis that had a sensor range of 10 parsecs. the first super scout 'Aqueris' discovered the hidden locating of the last dread lords!

DREAD LORD WARS!

the Archin empire was in a state of termoil. the galactic powers were push the archin's boundries, there influence by far more powerful than that of the ancient Archin people. there for i was decided that galactic havasting was the only course of action in such a matter. a starbases was planned for the near by influence resource, a proud structure that would stand as a monument of the Archins great achivements.


Also, to combat the effect of there influence a future empire was planned along a near by star cluster and it was there the Archin would plant there shining future.

or so they thought...

not long after the first colony ship was launched a discovery was made that would change every plan made by the Archin Upheaval. the dread lords were attacking! as the slow colony moved though dread lord terretory they were just in time to see a dread lord troop ship launch and take over a drengin world! 600 million shock troopers fell before the might of 2 million dread lord laser troopers. not one dread lord died.


whilest traveling through enemy teretory dread lord launch a frigate and atempted to intercept the fleeing colony ship before it could reach crenna (the first colony to arive at the star cluster), but the colony arive just in time. the dread lord weren't please with this faliure. to release there angry the dread lord took to attacking helpless drengin colony ships.

this wasn't going to end well

a vote was called of all Archin high council members to descuse and act appon this crissis. it was obvious that we could not fight them, we simpley didn't have any weapons to do so. the only thing that stopped the dread lord from destroying our ships was running. it was made clear that all ships were to return to the capital. all but 2 ships returned, Lost Hero was stuck in the heart of drengin teritory and could not make it past the dread lord frigate and one colony ship destroy enroute to the capital.

500 million citizens and troops died that day.

shortly after that the report came in that the dread lords had attack the crenna with an army of 20 million. 1.7 billion blade troopers stood there ground againest the laser troopers only to die taking 10 million troops with them.

the battle took too many lives

it was decide that the drengin started this war, they could fight it. the Archins would hide near the back of the sector and return as worriers.

LostHero,

Nice story with an interesting premise! You may want to post future AARs in the AAR section. The images are fine, by the way.

But please consider using a spell checker and kindly use capital letters with your sentences since that makes it much easier to read.

Thanks!

dont worry i will, i just have to complete this ship chassis upgrade i'm doing. then i'll try and write another. shame that one didn't work out would have been really good.

yeah, i should have written one for the game i am playing currently, I used the ships that I posted in the "Show off your Ships" thread. My Police ships are doing their job, and I am just prolonging this game so that I can get a few more logistics points. Though, I have only 5 planets now while the Yor have about 20. I think that I prolonged things too much, and the Yor are becoming quite strong. They have 200 ish ships while i have about 10...>.> hehe They chose quantity while I chose quality, but their quantity also has high logistics and very strong fleets

If you want to see my ships in the hands of an opponent, I will upload them to the library for you to DL. They are fun to destroy and be destroyed by:D

The only thing they require is Kryo's DA mod:D

Sounds interesting, but I may suggest one thing. Add some depth, and back story to it. Other than that, keep up the good work.
Reply #10 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
thanks all of you. maybe i'll tell it from LostHero's point of veiw.

Kryo's DA Mod! damn, it was hoping you wouldn't say that my game wont support it. i need an upgrade. never mind, i saw you ships and they look awesome. i have to create some Archin BattleLiners, screenshot them and load them up. maybe a few screenshots of fleet battles and a few fighter class vessels. i'm just about finished my new mod and i'll be uploading it real soon
Reply #11 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
By "wont support it" do you mean that you dont have DA? Or that for some reason the mod doesn't work on your system?

I am gonna start a new game, I am gonna AAR this one so things are gonna be very interesting. I dont play at a really high difficulty level at all, it works for me though. I tried a game last night going back to "cakewalk"....that wasn't the most fun at all. I did a pure tech game and still was pumping out ships that could slaughter my opponent For that one I was using the HHGTTG mod and was playing as the Mice

The Torgal (my AAR creation) are gonna be going against a custom AI...they are gonna have access to my Police Ships.

I hope to see your new ships soon, Good luck on that,
GalenEvil

and you will see my ships soon enough and i just complete my mod, uploading now. when they aprove, it will be under 'Complete Chassis Remix'. you should try it.

good luck with that ARR, i might start again this time WITH weapons to fight the Dread Lords (you get heaps of point for killing them). i'll read yours if you read mine.

my ships are almost ready just a few more designs on paper and i'm ready.

I hope it gets approved soon so that I can see it:D YAY to AARs, I will definitely read yours, I love them soo very much. AlexAtticus is a wonderful storyteller. His are always a good read.

my ships are almost ready just a few more designs on paper and i'm ready.


on paper? Are you actually drawing them and then trying to recreate that drawing in the game?

OMG confuzzled

Reply #14 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
not very, it's quite simple actual. i remember the parts they use to put ships together.  
Reply #15 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
kudos to you LostHero, I don't have the memory for that. Most of my ships rely on a limited number of base parts and look about from there. You should see my bubble-ship, it looks quite nice to me. It uses a lot of the cape pieces:)

I also dont have a very good paper drawing ability haha

Time to start that AAR, downloading stuff just finished!

LOST HOPE:

Running and hiding wasn't as easy as the archins had expected. the cold black hide many dangers, this danger had increased sice the Dread Lords Arived. reports were coming in from all over the galaxy that dread lords were attack everywere, this wasn't a contained incident. a small fleet of 2 super scouts (Andrina and Polo), 1 colony ship (the lost hope) and Lost Hero made there way far from the blood shed of the dread lords onslaughter. though they were siting targets the dread lords seemed more interested with drengin colony ships rather than Archin's. As they slowly made their way across the cold vacuum of space it became obvious that Lost City and New Archin were captured. those still on Lost City and New Archin at the time had put up a good defence and even now fought to regain control of the 2 planets. Archin's prefered to die rather than become slaves, every man, women and child fought with a power not known to the dread lords. there may yet be hope for the Archin UpHeaval, their last colony ship carried 1 Billion lives to yet another system. this is were the Archins would mount there offensive againest the galaxy. one things for sure, Archins were in no sort supply of whiling soldiers...
