GCO, SW turn based game that will use Warlords for battles

[CurseUppl]

Hey, pretty new here, anyway, been working with Felth and a few others to try and re-establish EvR (an old app made by Bern) and it seems to finally be getting somewhere!

The new app called GCO (Galactic Conquest Online) is a turn based stradegy game (one turn a day) and is played online. It will use SW Warlords to play the battles when 2 fleets meet up enemy fleets of course. Thanks Eville

We have finally gotten an app from Rgreat that shows us something!!! It is not completed yet and so not fully functional.

You guys should check it out:

The download can be found on the front page and files section.

Just extract it it and yes I know the instillation is loaded with ?????????? but just guess where the 'Next' button is and find the RVE app in the folder when its installed.

 

Was hoping for some feedback, personally I think the graphics are just awesome compared to the first Empire vs Republic app (but without Bern and the first mod, it would have never excisted) and the gameplay should be great too.

Yeah but i can say for sure if this app will be reayd for the first campaign of GCO, we may still be using the old app. This is because i would like to test the ship prices and the new kinda gamplay that we are going for (it wont be exactly the same as with the new app). I do believe the new app still needs the networking part doing and the do turn feature. I hope you guys are interested in joining us in a game that is really what star war rebellion could have been.

I take it you're not going to the need the hosting then, DarthFelth?

At some point you tried to contact me, I'm not sure what about.

[DarthFelth]

Yeah it was about that but that, we were testing the server but it had problems running on your server for some reason no matter now, i hope you will be joining us in the next level of the wonderful mod.

[Evaders99]

Okay, sorry it didn't work out.

 

Best of luck

[DarthFelth]

yeah i know, cheers, i hope we can steal many of your members

[Evaders99]

Oh I'm sure you'll attract many members. We're here to support other endeavors (though you may get some competition from the Freelancer mod guys hehe)

 

As to steal... well I don't have any control of them. Usually they're pretty active enough for multiple sites. I know many people still active here and on SWS, SWC, some other sims as well.

[DarthFelth]

lol i didnt mean take them away from you just attract them I gotta say thanks for eville for letting us use his mod and for the work he is going to do on the new app, he's our hero

Twitches as Evaders activates his SWR mind control

That's right, Evaders has no control over us.

 

Sounds interesting guys. I'll keep an eye on it .

[DarthFelth]

ahh cool, if you liked rebellion, you will love this, at the moment the app has over 400 planets in it, all the ships from the mod. I would like to see what extra features we can add to it (like mission in rebellion) i dont know what we can add yet, only time will tell. We will be defo running a more basic version fo the app which will help us balance the ship prices and will give everyone a feel for the game. The more the better

How does this work? Does it generate Homeworld 2 scenarios and send them to players?

[DarthFelth]

well the idea of the app is like rebellion, you move you ships, land troops etc. The app has a map generator and when the turns are done the gm/app will create the maps with fleets involved on. The maps will then be uploaded onto the GCO server and put onto our forums for D/L. Then the player will fight the battles in hw2 and send the log files to the GM so he can figure out lose's, move ships (if any have managed to retreat). Im affraid it wont be as fast paced as rebellion but with a massive online game like this you can do a RTS it has to be a TTS. Also we will be hoping to add extra functions that involved characters. I will add these into the ongoing story behind GCO.

 

The story side will be part of the RPG side. Our forums will be used so players may send message to other factions (like declaring war, sending warnings as well as reporting any bugs that players have come across)

 

As each campaign ends anouther one will start and with any luck, new players, new races to choose from (like vong and chiss) and perhaps even do different campaigns based around diferent parts of the star wars time line. We may even be able to go as far back as the clone wars at some stage.

 

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
