Star Wars Galactiic Conquest online is preparing to lauch

[DarthFelth]

well, its coming very very close to a time when we are ready to launch the game, at fecking last. All we need is a few more players. What are waiting, well, 0.5 of warlords, thats it. a few tweaks to the app and we are set to go do if you are interested in joing us come join us links are in my sig.

 

Now what is this, well best way to think of it in simple terms is space battle version of say rome total war with a hint of roleplaying. anyways we hope to hear from you soon.

What is GCO? It is a Politics/turn based game which uses a Java application to navigate the Galaxy Map, and the Warlords Mod for Homeworld 2 as battle arena. At the moment, the game is in the final stages of preparation, but we will be ready to launch very soon.

GCO is similar to rebellion under many aspects, except that thanks to the Homeworld 2 engine and Warlords for battles the graphical aspect of battles is amazing, while the politics/intrigues will be between a great deal more than 2 factions, as there will be many independant groups in the Galaxy as well as the New Republic and the Imperial Remanent.

 

There is no way to describe fully and completely what GCO is, because it is an immense game which allows for hundreds of possibilities, what I can tell you is that it has been running for many years now, first known as EvR, Empire Vs Republic, when we were using Homeworld and the SWNR Mod, and it has been one of the most interesting gaming adventures for many users around the globe (me included).

Many of the players which participated in the first few campaigns have so enjoyed the experience that they keep coming back and helping out to set up new campaigns. This camp. will be the first one using HW2 and warlords, so if you've tried warlords and want a deeper, more immersive, experience in the Star Wars Galaxy, it would be foolish not to give it a try.

It sounds great but I dont fully understand what it is or how you get it. I went to the webesite and downloaded the files but thats it. I wish i knew more about computers and such. Is there a post on the Forums that has a step by step guide to getting it up and running? Thanks.

Basically Antilles:

 

-Get the Java runtime from the files section (required to run the java app. and the warlords map generator)

-Download the app. from http://www.curseuppl.com/gcofiles/gcoc1.zip

-Send an email to the GM including a username, password, and faction you wish to join

well this is the best way to think about it.

 

its like room total war.

 

the java side is the turn based map of total war.

HW2 with warlords is the rts side, we have a map generator so you dont build stuff like in hw2, you only have whats on the map. (i guess in a away its a slower version of rebellion but with more depth.

 

Basicly we arnt starting until the next version of warlords is out ( eville) and as well all know thats nearly done. All we have to do is update the app slightly and we can go. We could start now but as eville informed me of performace improvements we have decided to wait abit longer (after all not everones computer can handel the larger battles with millions of fighters).

 

anyways hope to see you on the boards, best of luck and you if you need help just ask someone on the boards.

heh, Room Total War does sound like a fun game Darth

 

The version of the app that's uploaded right now isn't the final version, I've still got to upload some more icons for the new ships and include them, but otherwise we're pretty much just waiting on the latest release of the mod.
