This looks pretty good! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Nice! You're starting this up again! Looking forward to it!

Mitchell had a difficult time determining the mood of the Federal Star Command. If they were having a hard time swallowing the information he just fed, he didn't blame them; it was a lot to absorb. But nevertheless... "If you'll let me run the numbers by you again, sir?" the Navy Admiral asked Mitchell, who nodded his assent. The admiral, Carson, stiffly stated, "We are entering into a coalition with, what you're telling us, the Korx, the Thalans, and the Drengin and Korath?" When Mitch

I smell an allaiance victory..... Now what would ever make you think THAT? >_>

(Not really a gamey update, but more of an emphasis on story and background. As it turns out, apparently the Feds are REALLY behind in technology, and as a result, military. However, even if their economy's a bit slumped too, they've at least got a surplus, so a lot of my game involves buying technologies, offering gifts of money so I'm friendly with the stronger powers, and slowly, slowly, and slowly build up; along with fending off the occassional declaration of war from a power that really ha

Howard City, Mitchell September 30th, 2231 Alan Bradley, in his sharpest suit, gazed up at the gigantic telescope that pointed towards the Gap between Mitchell and the Thalans and Korx. Truly, it was a telescope to make Galileo proud that even after his time, humanity's interests in the stars, along with colonizing them, had lived on.

On the 22nd of April, 2230, contact was finally established with the Krynn Consulate. None of the Federation's Xenologists really knew what to make of them; most reports indicated the Krynns to be fanatics of their cause, whatever it might be. However, while not entirely friendly, neither did they show hostility; as per the standard procedure, diplomatic ties were established, and business went on as usual, though apparently there was some confusion on part of the Consulate as to why the humans

Well, thinking hard about it, I've decided to continue; as my roommate has reminded me, along with you all on the posting, the SF genre tends to allow for all these interesting cases to be casually explained away! However, this is also ensuring that I'll try another AAR after this, THIS TIME done properly (namely, make sure that only one power claims to rule Terra, among other things). Besides, I can always come up with more made-up fluff in terms of differences between the two powers, and I don

So far, so good. I like your emphasis on third-person narratives to tell how your campaign's going along. Keep it up!

"Honestly, as far as I was concerned, I was treading a fine line between ruling by humanity's consent as their Prime Minister and threatening to become a tyrant with my tenure in office. Thank God I was able to step down peacefully without having any long-term regrets." -Alan Bradley, excerpt of his thoughts from "Atop the Mountain of Terra," his memoirs. Up to this point, humanity was only aware of at least three alien species and powers for sure: the Arceans, who up to this

Really like this AAR. I never end up putting all of this detail into my writings. Maybe you'll activate one of those Precursor things on Mars... and get a better planet out of it, too. I've seen that happen a lot. Thanks a bunch! For me, putting this much detail into the AAR is just a way to breath more life into my game, which is normally just the old "I'm the overlord who will conquer the world, and am represented by a mouse icon. Worship me."

We'll still play Tetris in the future? Glad to see you got Mars back, too. Always a nuisance when the aliens manage to sneak their way into the Solar System like that. A buffer zone is very good for humans. I wouldn't take the United States route, though. They didn't have to directly compete with so many factions the way you'll have to. Play it more like the British Empire. Of course we'll keep

Yes. DC is truly a city of bureaucracy and red tape. FEAR. ^_^ Though in all honesty, the US government based there really is just more or less a regional sector. As it is, humans don't see themselves as "American," "Russian," "Korean," or the such. They affiliate themselves as "Terran." Anyways, thanks for keeping up with this. Again, give me some feedback along the way! More to come tomorrow or the weekend or so.

The captain of the Da Gama, Captain Jon Season, glanced nervously at the alien ship that was off the portside. "Is it armed?" "Negative, captain, it's a survey ship, just like us...least as far as the Da Gama's sensors can tell..." The ship's First Mate, Gustav, was hovering over the ECM Specialist's chair, trying to discern something of the ship alongside the man. The captain sat in his seat, both hands cladsped together against his face, deep in thought

As soon as the colonization of Mitchell was able to expand past the initial colony, there was a debate as to what exactly Mitchell's initial purpose should be. Aside from lush rolling hills and what can only be equated as a national park of sorts the size of Ireland, the planet boasted all the qualities of Earth, but nothing outright spectacular; a "clean slate" if you will. For the time being, a local television network began to set up shop in the area, while Bradley liased with Mitchell's colo

To Arilias: Thanks for the compliments and your interest! But also, several reasons for the title "Prime Minister." 1: I thought the title just sounds cool. ^^ 2: Before I answer the PM thing, just a note. I'm still going by Stardock's canon that the individual nation-states still exist, and therefore so do the actual original heads of states. More of an attempt to salve the wounded pride of some original heads of states (*cough President cough*), they still maintain some impo

Well, I'm not going to get into the whole reasons as to why WW3 started, but let's just say the roots are economic, and tied into issues of state sovereignty. Alan Bradley is the current Prime Minister, and has the distinction of being the first Terran PM of an interstellar Federation. As far as any effect alien contact's had...well, we'll get to that in due time. *** "There really is something to be said when you find out that there isn't a precedent or past example to rely

Hello, everyone. I'm relatively new here, and after reading AARs from both GalCiv 2, I've been inspired to write one myself, also of glorious Terra. While this is going to be mainly a historical narrative, when I feel it'd be appropriate (especially in ground campaigns, as I feel they deserve more than just run at each other and see who dies first methods that the game makes standard), I'll also add in the perspectives of certain individuals who were there. Anyways, bear with me, and as this is
