AAR: Rise (and fall) of the Procyon Expance

Gameplay Example

from GalCiv2 Forums
For this game I will be playing as the Procyon Expanse(pronounced P-raw-si-yawn)
I am General Hawkins(my real name is Mael Colim) and my homeworld is Procya(pronounced P-raw-si-ya)

Galaxy Settings:



Research and Influence victory off

My political party are the Federalists

Racial abilities


Playing against Three opponents on tough.

How it starts:



This is what Procya looks like:



Ain’t it perty?

My newest planet:



I quick buy a basic factory and a starport and have Atlantica build a colony ship for Dester(class 9)

Meanwhile, while I am having my survey ship explore star systems to find habitable planets for future colonization the drengin chew up 4 anomalies right by procya!

Now , they colonized mars!

NOW THIS MEANS WAR!



I have researched Xeno research, Galactic Warfare and I am half way through space militarization but I decide Universal Translator is more important.
I can at least pass a few threats and get some tribute!

I am going to be evil.
My goal is conquest. With or without an Alliance.


Something bad happened.

Their scout spotted Iversonia V
And a colony ship from Mars is heading that way!
That is not that bad because Iversonia is only class 6.
But if their scout finds Dester(class 9)they will have a stronghold in my starting position!

But there is good news too
See for yourself



Not Bad

More good news:

Their scout ship is turning around and heading out of my territory.

But some bad news too

Now the arceans come to the party.

And the drengin have deployed another scout in my territory.

Luckily, I have already bought a colony ship.
It should be there in a few more turns.
Here is how things look:

I am having a small problem with the images

Me either. I've had problems posting pics before. If your using something like imageshack, just copy the Thumbnail for websites code into the post, don't use the insert image button on here. I have found that screws it up displaying. I made that mistake a couple of times before realizing it. Hope this helps.

No I am using Dropfile because imageshack does not allow images bigger then 2.00 MB
Dropfile allows 50 MB.

Each of these pictures weigh exactly 2.25 MB.

And what is a thumbnail?

ahh..that's no help for you. Sry. Thumbnails are the small representations of the main image, that you click on to view the full image. I haven't used Dropfile so I'm unsure of how their system works, but I'm sure others on here have and can give some insight.

Actually, I think I should delete this post and start anew.

The story was gonna get good in about a few lines where I left off.

EDIT: how do you delete?

If you use JPG format rather than BMP or some other un/weakly compressed format, your images should end up much smaller, and Imageshack will host them just fine.

Not sure if you were intentionally altering the pronunciation there or not...but the correct pronunciation of procyon is, in fact, "PRO - see - on". Though the more common pronunciation is "pro-SAI-on".
