Beingofone Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 (edited) I posted in another thread about the scenarios that are available w/ civ2.It started me thinking.Why not play a 6 player scenario by posting here[PBEM].This would not only allow us to play a game but also generate ideas for a platform for Rebellion 2. For those of you who are not a fan of civ2,I can assure you the game has morphed even more than Rebellion.This would allow us to play something very close to Rebellion-only with 6 players .The only drawback to the game is that it is turned base-but this is perfect for PBEM. The storyline is an alternate universe Star Wars-for the scenario I would recommend.It is call Star Wars Insurrection.It begins just before a new hope.There are lots of really cool event triggered story twists.The one thing I didnt like was that he split the Empire in two [there was an attempted coup]-but the benefit of that is that 2 people will play the Empire. If there is enough interest I will host the game.I will play the last faction not picked.So post your choice.-1.The Rebel Alliance-Bail Organa-2.Galactic Empire-you know who -3.Second Imperium-Admiral Zaarin-4.Unalligned Planets-cooridnated by the Borsk Feylay-5.Corporate Sector Authority-Niles Ferrier-6.Pirate Union-Jabba De Hutt-ho ho hoThere is a 7th player controlled by the ai-just to spice it up,they are the pacifist planets.my e-mail is http://kenelder71@hotmail.comP.S.-I dont want to tell you anymore than that-it would ruin the unfolding The turn order1st-Unalligned Planets2nd-Second Imperium3rd-AI Pacifists4th-Pirate Union5th-Rebel Alliance-Scathane6th-Galactic Empire-Lord_La_forge7th-Corporate Sector Authorityhttp://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65840&pagenumber=1 -this is the PBEM guide,the only difference is we e-mail our turns to the next player.Please post here when you play your turn w/ any events that are triggered.The other players must also be aware of the events please.House rules1-no removing of other players passwords-I dont think this will happen here but it has happened to me.2-you have 72 hours to post your turn-after that any player may issue a *BUMP*-giving you another 24 hours.If you still have not posted and e-mailed your turn ,well the A.I. plays your turn[the game must go on].3-NO adjusting rules,events or any files in the scenario-we play it as is.Again I dont think that is going to happen here but I just wanted to be crystal clear.

Beingofone Posted May 11, 2003 Author Share Posted May 11, 2003 (edited) By the way.Before you make a decision not to play.At least download the scenario and look at the html files.This will give you a clear overview of the game.It will also show you some of the graphics.If you decide you dont like it after seeing these,just delete the scenario from your hard drive. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ2scensci.shtml For those of you who have Civ2 and not the multiplayer version,go here. http://hometown.aol.com/cedricgreene/ Please dont misunderstand me.I am not saying that this could take the place of Rebellion .This is just a really cool way to explore ideas for a multiplayer game of Rebellion and have a blast doing it.

Beingofone Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hopefully we can get 1 more.Thats all we need to play Scathane.The AI can play the rest.If someone wants to join later they can jump in where the Ai has played up to that point.

Lord_La_forge Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I have Civ2. And I already made a SW mod for it. I replaced the sea to space and made island for "planets". I used pics from Rebellion to replace the ships. I made fighters and capital ships to. All went ok with it. Let me say, I was an "expert" in editing that game. But there were some problems with it, that I could not fix. ( Rebel freighters wanted to make a deal with me. They gived me the secret of Mon Calamari building. Or my agents simply stole it, and so on..) It was frustrating. It's VERY difficult to make a space strategy game of it. Belive me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belive meI am also good at editing the game Lord_La_forge.1.ai dealmaking-I am wanting a human player game for the factions that have the important tech.So the ai cannot just give it to you.2.You can fix the game so there is no negotiating at all if you want.3.If you dont want certain techs tradeable-you can also do that.4.You can set the game so agents cant steal tech if you want.I suggest you check out the scenario I am trying to put together-then make a decision when you have seen all the facts.I appreciate the time you gave for the comment sir.

Lord_La_forge Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hmmmmmmm I think I'm getting interested. I'm not sure, possible that I have deleted that mod long time ago. I'll try to find it! What's is the BEST site of Civ2 editing currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beingofone Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 http://www.civfanatics.comTo the honorable Lord_La_forge.This is probably the #1 site for editing info,as well as really cool user created scenarios.Check in the downloads section for Civ 2.An expert like you would be welcome. To ElvisMiggell-Sorry you cant play w/ us dude.You would add alot to the game.Keep in mind you only have to do a 30 minute turn once every 5-6 days.http://www.apolyton.netAnother really cool Civ site.

Lord_La_forge Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I remember now! I was on this site couple of years ago, when I made my own MOD. Wow, it's still very active.

There are some SW mods already uploaded here... Â Is CIV III bether than CIV II?Its really a matter of opinion.I prefer Civ2.Civ3 offers 15 civilizations,but the military aspects are inferior to Civ 2.An entrenched archer can take out an armored unit in Civ 3 .Civ 2 stays within the parameters of reality.If you like Star Trek check out the Dominion Wars-really good.the scenario we should play I think is called Star Wars Insurrection.Unless you see a scenario that looks better Lord_La_forge.

Beingofone Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Time to ante up-who is gonna play?You guys get 1st choice,Ill take the one not picked by anyone else.This doesnt have to be a marathon.Remember you only have to do a turn once every 5-7 days-and that only takes 30 minutes.If you dont know the game that well thats ok-buy the 5th turn or so you will .SO WHO WANTS DIBS ON PALPATINE ?

Beingofone Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 After thinking about it-Scathane should get 1st pick-then its 1st come 1st serve on factions.He was the 1st to say he wanted to play.

Beingofone Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65840&pagenumber=1here is a guide for PBEM. We probably should start a thread just for this game.What area should we post in?When the 1st player finishes the turn,just e-mail the saved file to the next player,since there is no place to post it here. Then post a summary of your turn-so everyone knows who's turn it is and the progress of the game.
