Lets see if I can coordinate another game of Starwars Insurrection... any takers?


Second Imperium - The Overlord
Rebel Alliance - Ohwell
Galactic Empire - Darius
Corporate SA - IceFalcon

Pirate Union - AI
Unalligned - AI
Pacifists - AI

Damn, not sure of the order, but Second imperium goes before the rebels, and the rebels go before the Empire. The minors shouldn't really be played unless all of them except the pacifists are played, because then the map would be unbalanced. But if anyone wants to, they can.

Oh, and if anyone else would like to be the rebels, than I would gladly switch to another power.

Darius
Aug 21, 2002, 10:13 PM
Sure, I'll try the GE this time.

The Overlord
Aug 22, 2002, 04:28 AM
Ok than I will take the Insurrectionists.

Thanks.

Ohwell
Aug 22, 2002, 10:40 AM
Ok, welcome both of you. Overlord, start the game then :D

Aug 24, 2002, 10:24 AM
ohwell, thanx for the invitation to join but I think one game at a time is enough for me, besides, too many players will just slow the game down and increase its chance of falling apart before its over. Glad to see you actually like the scenario enough to start another one though.

Ohwell
Aug 24, 2002, 05:51 PM
Overlord, you can start the game now.

The Overlord
Aug 25, 2002, 10:34 AM
Hi guys here I’m. Sorry for the long delay but it was a looong weekend: Party, Disco, Girls and Fun [dance] from Thursday till Saturday (three days party) wohoo. Ok now I've a little headache but I think I in the condition to post something.

Additionally I've read the PBEM-faq and some posts so I think I've done everything right: No bonus and Price-level.

Captured some planets think you expected it, right ;)?

Here's the list:
.)Endor
.)Balmorra
.)Spira
.)Alaskan
.)Dathomir

Game on.

Ohwell
Aug 25, 2002, 10:54 AM
The new republic siezes on the fact that the Empire is fighting a coup, so a major attack on the Corellian sector is launched.

It is entirely captured.

Darius
Aug 25, 2002, 06:07 PM
Despite his admirals' complaints, the emperor prepares for the Empire to go on the offensive (you heard right), effective immediately. Do not overextend yourselves.

The Overlord
Aug 27, 2002, 10:02 AM
Wow you guys are fast all in one day I just realized it's my turn again :D, ok let's continue.

So in this turn I captured:
.) Rendili
.) Vladet

Looks like the good old Admiral Zaarin is on the road, yeah.

Ohwell
Aug 27, 2002, 12:41 PM
Hmm, Darius, thats a pretty bold move, as the Empire to go offensive so quickly.

My turn: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Darius
Aug 27, 2002, 10:44 PM
Entire Corellian sector reconquered. :D

Darius

You are joking right...unless you managed to kill off the bulk of the Rebels with a probe and a token force in Commenor.

For those unfamiliar with SWINs, this will explain the joke...

(what happens when playing against the AI as GE-purple after the first turn)

Well, the probe is gone too... I took Tralus and Drall on the first turn too. All of them are mine except Commenor.

Hey if your done with this game wanna start another with me in it? and if your not done yet could you tell me the name of this scenario?

:die:

The Overlord
Sep 04, 2002, 10:28 AM
Well actually we are at the beginning of the game and I'm not sure if this is suited for more than 3 players. There are 3 main civs and the others are very much behind hmm perhaps the Corporats or Unalligned are more or less playable. Definitely not the Pirates or the Pacifists (would be more than boring to play them till they get their transformation). Perhaps the author of this game can give us a statement which civs can be played.

Nevertheless it's called "Starwars Insurrection" by Kobayashi and it can be found here:

Sep 04, 2002, 12:56 PM
I'm extremely suprised that Darius didn't take it before me, TIE fighters in Sienar could easily have tooken it out. But, Oh well! :D

The wonders of Republic/Democracy WLTKD are enormous, and we now recieve technology at a brisk 3 techs a turn. Watch your backs...

Darius
Sep 04, 2002, 02:17 PM
I think that the Corporate SA and Unaligned are playable, and the Pirates are playable but not worth playing, and the Pacifists aren't supposed to be played. I played the CSA in the second PBEM attempt and it was pretty fun. I have no problem with him joining now if he wants to. :)

TIE fighters in Sienar

Ehrm there aren't any. :p

Thanks for the information well it's ok for me too so let's welcome another player in our round.

Oh btw I captured Ammuud :p

Darius
Sep 05, 2002, 11:29 AM
Just so you know, you should in fact want a human CSA player. When I was the CSA the Imperium and I made an arrangement where in exchange for their military protection, I gave them techs from my very fast Democracy government's research. This was a very big advantage.

Ohwell

Well, that means Overlord will have a definite advantage. ;) Darius is a very good player, you have allies, but I have the good side of the force.

BTW, since IceFalcon is in, Overlord you now go after him. IceFalcon you will be playing the CSA, and you load from Darius' game. (I think)

Ohwell
Sep 05, 2002, 02:00 PM
Victory at Sienar, with a huge fight! 2 speeders, a cruiser and a frigate vs Turbolasers, Laser turrets and one imperial troop. One speeder was lost.

First Y-Wings enter service.

Yep, be sure to press Control-N at the end of your turn so your units don't go everywhere.

You click multiplayer games, network games, load multiplayer games, and find the folder where your scenario files (and the .net file) is. Load it, and choose the SA :)

so i press control n after i am done moving then i save and give it to you guys?

Sep 05, 2002, 05:32 PM
well, you press control-n when your turn is done. Just unfortify a unit in one of your cities when your done with your turn and press control-n. A unit has to be active for it to work. Then, post the file here. :)

Hey guys, browsing the various threads I found some interesting things to spice up the game. I think it's a nice idea to add some atmosphere well I found some nice pictures.

At first we see the Imperial Navy under the command of Admiral Zaarin en route to liberate the galaxy. What would you do against these monsters?

PS: I'm a huge Star Wars fan especially of the Empire AND their awesome Star Destroyer. I love those mighty ships.

All is well sire! Quite Bullish.

Except that I'm probably going to lose Kashyyyk, to the agressive Empire. Looks like I have 2 guys bent on swallowing up the galaxy. Perhaps I'll just play it Isolationist, for now.

I also spot a nice invasion force heading to Hoth, at least 2 Victories heading. We're ready. Remember, the Empire only captured Hoth with the help of it's AT-ATs, which your surely don't have ;)

Darius
Sep 15, 2002, 11:20 PM
Well lucky for you, the ship near Kashyyyk was just on an intelligence mission (and a very lucrative one, BTW ;)).

Anyone from in here support my claim?

Kashyyyk headhunters spot the victory II with help from recon and... destroy it! I don't know why I didn't make Y-Wings instead, bad judgement I guess.

Gosh, Darius is really playing the empire differently in this game.

Did anyone know that Kashyyyk is the Wookie homeworld?

I think every system on the map is from the SW universe. Who knows the significance of the other planets?

Darius
Sep 17, 2002, 11:51 PM
Just putting any troops to use that have nothing better to do, usually against the AI. Otherwise my Victories are lying around gathering rust until Terraformers need transporting. :sleep:

I don't think I'd do to well with any trivia. I know general stuff from the movies (Alderaan is one of the Rebels' most important cities, Coruscant was the Old Republic's capital, etc.), but that's not much. :(

The Overlord
Sep 18, 2002, 04:57 AM
Originally posted by kobayashi

You're talking to the right guy ok here we go, these are all the planets I recognized:

Yes Alderan was the main rebel sympathizer ruled by Bail Organa, Senator and one of the founder of the Rebellion, besides Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis. Alderan was destroyed by the 1st Death Star.

Kessel is a prison world for the Empire as there are large deposits of a certain spice which is very popular in the universe (also used to produce some kind of drugs). The Empire tend to ship their prisoners to this world in order to let them dig in their mines instead of a death penalty.

Coruscant is THE center of the galaxy. First for the Old Republic than for the Empire and now for the New Republic (formerly known as Rebels).

Kuat is the most important ship producing planet for the Empire, one of the main sites where their famous Star Destroyers were manufactured.

Corellia is the one of the most important trading point and known for their Corellian Corvette and YT-Transport series (the Millennium Flacon is a YT-Transport although a heavy modified one). Han Solo was born on Corellia as well as Wedge Antilles (the famous Rebel pilot that blew up the 2nd Death Star in "Return of the Jedi".

Tatooine is more or less a desert unimportant world far away from the important core sectors. Luke Skywalker was born there.

On the ice planet Hoth (also far far away from the center) the Rebels established their new base after the battle of Yavin it was captured by the Empire in "The Empire Strikes back".

Yavin was a jungle planet and the main base for the rebels. In the first movie the Empire tried to destroy them with their Death Star but were defeated by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.

Nal Hutta (meaning "glorious jewel" in Huttese) with it's moon Nar Shadda is the homeworld of the Hutts (Jabba the Hutt from "Return of the Jedi" is a member of this race). These two planets are ruled by the Hutts and the only law is: anything goes. The Empire has no jurisdiction here but of course profits from the different "businesses" done on this planet. Therefore the Empire allows the Hutts to keep it.

Endor is the homeworld of the funny Ewoks we all loved them in the 3rd movie. The Empire build their 2nd DS there and over this planet was the showdown of Empire vs Rebels with the Emperor and Darth Vader get killed in the end.

On Bespin is a large tibanna gas deposit used for cooling hyperdrive engines. Lando Clarissian was the administrator of the mining corporation based here before the Empire captured it in the 2nd movie.

Mon Calamari is almost entirely covered with water, and is home to Mon Calamari and Quarren. The Mon Cals are excellent star ship designers and the Quarren navigators. Both were enslaved by the Empire therefore they joined the Rebel Alliance and handed over their mighty Mon Cal Cruisers to them. Admiral Akbar is the most famous Mon Cal seen in the 3rd movie as the Fleet Admiral.

Byss is Emperor Palpatine's private world and almost impossible to capture as it's defended by powerful planetary shields and hunter-killer probots. Here he trained his Dark Side adepts also his clone labor is located there where he tried to clone force sensitive people to produce an army of warriors all capable of using the Dark Side but the project failed as all the clones were insane and the technicians weren't able to analyze why some people can use the force and others don't.

Balmorra is a weapon manufacturing planet ruled by Governor Beltane, it's the primary producer of the famous AT-ST as well as various battle droids.

Selonia, Drall and the twin planets Talus and Tralus are all part of the Corellian System and the main trading area in the whole galaxy.

Fondor is besides Kuat the largest industrial planet for constructing starships. The SD's were produced there in large quantities and also the Super Star Destroyer Executor.

Bilbringi and Sluis Van are another starship manufacturing planets, much smaller than Fondor or Kuat but still one of the top producers for the Imperial navy.

Sullust is a rebel sympathizer inhabited by a race which are excellent navigators and pilots. Nien Nunb, the co-pilot of Lando Calrissian against the Death Star in the 3rd movie is a Sullustan.

So that's it folks.

kobayashi
Sep 18, 2002, 05:45 AM
Well as Overlord has skillfully shown, I didn't make things up as I went along.

He did not mention most of the Unalligned, CSA and Pacifist systems. If anyone is interested, see this website

Hoth destroyed, along with all the units inside. The transport carrying the speeders was killed, so I guess it will either stay in the system or die.

Also, more headhunters in Kashyyyk kill the victory II next to it. Stop trying! You'll kill yourself!

Recon bots which escaped from Hoth return from a routine patrol, when noticing that a nearby planet was conquered by the empire. It is empty.

Wow this was a really eventful turn. At first I got this message:

Don't think this Solo-thing is something good for us Darius :(
But immediately afterwards I got a message which is far better for me:

"DARTH VADER FORMULATES PLANS FOR A NEW DARK JEDI ARMY
Sensing a disturbance in the force in the form of Yoda and his new apprentice Jedi knights who are beginning to roam the galaxy again, Darth Vader counters with a new doctrine for subverting young Jedi to the power of the Dark Side.
Eventually the movement will grow and eventually lead to the establishment of the Shadow Academy (a wonder).":king:

Two important battles have taken place this very day.

Near the Ison Corridor and Hoth, an Imperial Star Destroyer was destroyed, and along with it Admiral Piett, a stalwart tactician who has long decieved the republic. The young Wedge Antilles gave the killing blow in his Y-Wing, launched from a new frigate launched from Besadii.

Along the Alsakan Rim, a damaged Imperium Star Destroyer was destroyed as well. Frigates gave the killing blow here, with a huge volley of laser fire destroying the bridge.

Universities througout the Empire have been suggesting to Imperial officials that they begin a tradition in which the Emperor would personally acknowledge the greatest science breakthroughs of our time. Therefore, the Imperial government will hold a Galactic Science Award convention in Sluis Van every year. The first convention will occur this very month, after the government quickly set up contracts to build the convention's hall and set up its bureaucracy, costing a total of 784 credits.

The opportunity to be rewarded for their ingenuity has made the most ambitious of our scientists greatly increase their progress to finish their current projects. The complete engineering of our new Imperator Class ships has been fine-tuned by such ambitious scientists, and they are currently under construction. Study of the Ion Cannon has also been completed.

Meanwhile, the completion of the massive convention hall has allowed Sluis Van to devote it's great productive power to mass-produce Ion Cannon, Turbo Lasers, and Laser Turrets permanently until every city has three.

Anyhow Koby at least made an effort by putting land squares around the planet, but then all you have to do is bring along a terraformer. But even though it's possible, should it just be considered unsportsmanlike? Or perhaps a house rule against it?

Ohwell
Oct 09, 2002, 02:25 PM
I'd like a House Rule against it. I guess it isn't really fair because then you'd get the event file extremely early and that's before the YZV come. And plus then they don't get their attack bugs.

kobayashi
Oct 09, 2002, 06:38 PM
I must agree, you cannot attack Helska until the first worldship is destroyed. I guess that's implicit in the way the event messages are revealed. You should play as if you did not know there is a Helska. I could not have used a House Rule on this in the readme as that would give away the fact that Helska exists.

There is one more thing to be decided. What causes the obsolescence of several TIE strikecraft.

seems to me that 'TIE bomber becomes obsolete with TIE defender' is the only obvious choice.

Nothing seems right to make TIE Fighter obsolete?

Don't know if TIE Advanced should become obsolete at all?

Should TIE Interceptor become obsolete with TIE phantom even though the Empire is not able (normally) to build the Phantom?

!!Operation Strike Fear!!

After month of careful planing and weapons developing today Admiral Zaarin gave the order to unleash "Operation Strike Fear" to all enemies of the Empire. As first part of this Operation the heavily armed Imperial fleet captured Senex.

And the second part was a first victory against those rebels which dare to resist Imperial law and order. A special and heavy attack fleet was able to capture Sienar. Now this planet returns home into the Empire were it belongs. Admiral Zaarin said today: "Now we will show the Emperor how to deal with those rebels".

However most parts of this Operation are unknown even High Fleet Command had no idea. It is believed that the mastermind Admiral Zaarin alone had developed this plan and will also watch it's completion personally.

Nobody knows where the Imperium will strike next :evil:
