I just read your post and it has me wondering. What happened to Pravin Lal? Did he retire, die, get assassinated, or what?

The Spartans and Drones have fought the mighty Bree. Your puny alliance means nothing to us .


Since no one wants a jump(including me) then we wont have one. But we do need to get our people to the coference and get it over with. Sparta has business in the Cadre's system to take care of. We have some Hiverians to dispense with.

Yeah yeah! Let's drop the time warp! That's more than OK with me.

The only jump I want to make is a jump back into this story. Let's do the peace conference!

Since Mellian seems to be gone, I guess you can dissolve the Terrans when you wish, Kass. However, you also must control the peace conference.

As for Civ3, I don't like it more, but I don't like it less. Actually, one can build empires in Civ3. I'm German, in 1700, and I've got Europe, Africa, India, Greenland, part of Russia, and part of Asia. Pretty good that.

The peace conference? Yes. Look on about page 5 of the story, and you'll see the Prime Minister preparing for the conference. I checked the earlier Firaxian posts, and battleships are required to remain at the system perimeter.

History Guy I'm curious, how do you manage to build an empire that big? Isn't corruption terrible in an empire that size, or did the patches fix the corruption? Just wondering.

Are you going to write for both the Morganites and PK's now, seeing that Guardian isn't seriously doing any writing for them? Or will you "major" write about Morgan, while "minor" write about PK's?


Sprayber

What about the Gaians and Cyborgs? I don't think Alyznia and the Cyborg authors are coming back. It has been a year IIRC. I wonder if anyone here is willing to take a bit extra, and write for these factions, or should we "kill" them off? What do you suggest we do?

Just asking, because I'm wondering what will become of them in the next few years when things "heat up" between the major factions.

Sovereign-- The corruption doesn't seem to bother me as all that. I do what I can to make the people happy, and I jack up the culture for them by building improvements, wonders, etc., and that keeps corruption in check. I myself don't have a single patch, and yet the game always works fine with me...and I've only got a Windows 95!!!

Major writing for Morganites, minor for Peacekeepers, to develope the plot that Guardian and I had created.

Don't look on about page 5, since I just realized the story is about twice as long as that and that the post in question is closer to the end. Oops.

Spam is the BEST meat! Just kidding.

Okay, President I'll include the Temple in my upcoming post, hoping and assuming that my computer doesn't get Artifical Intelligent again, and screw over my hard typing work

I'll introduce the ruins on Berrik, sorta like a Bespin style city, like Bespin from Star Wars. But with collapsed buildings, weird hieroglyphics, unidentifiable energy signatures, and new material like Solid Hydrogen from the Sci Fi planet Nona in the game Civ 2:ToT.


I got plenty to account for. I'll definitely write about the floating city ruins, some prototype quantum reactors being drawn up and built, one or two more terrorist attacks from Yevan Androids, and an invitation to the EC to send delegates or start up treaty talks. Maybe some more extras, dunno... but I think its gonna be a long post. Bear with me

Just a quick idea for your temple thing.

On the planet that Sparta has sealed off there is a gigantic structure that is built underground that the Spartans have been trying to get into for a long time but have had to ease off on because of quakes in the area. The spartan experts believe that the aliens that brought the Epo to the planet built that structure.

Now MR. President would the drone investigations into your temple be wide known. Would the drones have mentioned it to the spartans at anytime. Cause Kessel would most likely seek quiet assistence from the drones in unlocking the secrets if the knew of their succes at the temple.

Basically what i was gonna have happen is to have a few things be found in the temple to shed light on the rest of the galaxy and some of the aliens including the Bree and Gorn. Of course most of the info there would be difficult for humans to understand but we would get things like maps of unexplored territory(dont worry Franky, not the Hive ) And things to shed light on the nature of the Bree Gorn conflict.

That sounds neat Sprayber. The research into the Temple is in fact known to the public (I made an interlude with a bunch of newspaper headlines, one of which involved the most recent breakthrough), but the Spartan government could probably find out more detailed information by going through scientific or government channels.

I think the three temples could represent a great chance to develop the "mythology", if you like, of the Beyond Alpha Centauri universe. We can reveal more about the ancient history of the galaxy, such as the beginnings of the Bree-Gorn conflict like you said, and write about fantastic discoveries (since science is also a part of human progress, feeding and fed by conflict) in both applied and theoretical areas. Of course, that's a heck of a large area for us to think about, but we can take it at whatever pace is necessary.

I made a Free Drone Republic flag. It's not a very good specimen (I think it might not be exactly symmetrical), but it's a start, especially given that the Drones are my main faction and even Firaxis got a flag before them. What do you guys think? Is it too ugly for words?

Edit; Sorry that it looks to have come out a little on the grainy side. It was made by splicing the flag of Micronesia onto that of Kiribati (or some place like that, I can't remember exactly) and glueing a Free Drone logo onto the corner.

Assuming you mean in a 'normal' game, you can. Just edit the civ3mod.bic file.
