Star Wars Insurrection HAS ARRIVED! - comments welcome

Here's what's coming this fall

<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/kobayashi/TITLE.gif" border=0>

After endless rounds of adjustments, I am into the final stretch now and the main elements of the storyline have been worked into the scenario. I have played one test game myself as the Rebels and encountered no major problems.

I'm now fixing the few inappropriate messages as they come up and thinking of what events to add in the space that's left. Only the people.gif is left but I don't want to use the existing ones as they are supposed to represent the general populace.

That is such a clever word "stright" - took me a while to get it,

straight away + right away = stright away

don't tell me it was just a typo or I will be so disappointed.

I will send you the people file when I'm done but it won't affect the game play.

p.s. the navbttle.wav filename is mis-spelled as navbatle or something so the default sound is used. Just rename the file in windows to fix the problem.

Been spending the past two weeks going through the scenario with a fine tooth comb and testing and re-testing. Have been making two or three adjustments per day perfecting the balance and AI behavior. Almost there now - hope everyone is waiting in anticipation.

Here's a screen shot to whet your appetites.

I've been working overtime to polish up the look and feel of the scenario. This is what the wonder icons will look like:

Suggestion: Change 'Dark Jedi' to 'Sith Lord' or 'Sith Apprentice'. They're the Dark Jedi guys

. I'll start playing today. I got back thge 23th, late, and I haven't had the time to do anything except finishing my GotM.

Welcome back KK, there are BOTH Dark Jedi and Sith Warriors in the scenario.

The Sith are a race of people from a particular planet which was settled by excommunicated Jedi a long time ago. They do not get consummed by the Dark Side of the force.

The Dark Jedi are Jedi who have been seduced to the Dark Side. For instance, Paplatine needs to consume souls to keep alive while Vader needs to wear his suit to compensate for parts which have been eaten away.

(I did not invent any of this for the scenario -its canon)

Anyway the version you have is quite old already. I will submit the release version next week so I suggest you do not play the beta I sent you for testing so that you can have max enjoyment from the complete version the first time you play.

Copy and copy. Thanks for the information and thanks for the files.

And ofcourse thanks for the 'welcome back'.

Well, I've taken half the galaxy as the rebels, and have found nothing so far. Looks good to go, Kob!

That's quite an achievement. The Rebels are really hard to play in the early phase. Congrats - are you playing at Grand Admiral Level and did you get Xizor's shuttle and the Pirate shipyard? What is the date?

Wow!

You have really done an excellent JOB on this! I can't commit to any playtesting right now guys...I'm still finishing my reviews...(sorry for the delay AoA but personal life has actually become a part of life recently for some strange reason)...

But on the other hand...it looks like everyone is in the mood for space!

I'm also pleased to see the use of the planets in the terrain, I just think that makes it look better...Koby...you've got some cool units...

I can't wait to see this one finished!

Houston we are GO for launch...I am going to send the whole thing to thunderfall for posting.

This marks my fourth scenario in 10 months, plus 3 articles and KobaBOS. I am going to take a break now and lay off creating anymore - spend some time playing the new scenarios popping up everyday.
 
<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/lol.gif" border=0> You do that kobayashi!

But you gotta explain the story of SW a bit more. In Episode I, Palpatine is the Sith Lord, right? And Darth Maul the apprentice.

I got the mails, btw.
