BTW put a tribe's identification on each of your colonies' name, that could be helpful..

I said in a previous post that will be my Last post until first contact has been made.

I lied.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

Ok...now I have met one other race.

And the game is actually slowing down. Having run my minerals down to virtually 0 I can only build on several planets at once, and since my first two research projects were theoretical, I've spent almost 3 years on two projects....

Now if only I can get myself to write more Posts per week.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

Cool, you made contact? You kind of glossed over it in your post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Anybody else make contact? You don't have to say if you don't want to, I am just curious.

Also it looks as if several people have found ruins. That's good. At least they aren't all in one part of the galaxy. How about events? I got hit with one. I left them on for the game but IIRC I set them to mild, so you shouldn't lose your star or anything. Just little things to give you something to write about.

I've met another race...however, I haven't had time to sit down and think it out. STUPID JOB! Hopefully this weekend. Unless the other author would like to begin... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

Yea, I did gloss over it. Two reasons. Didn't feel like writing a "we are not alone in the galaxy" post. Not to knock them, I just wrote one in History 1 and could not think of anything original to say in this one. And two, since my story is somewhat point of view oriented, the short character treatments don't necessarily have to focus on any event.

And I was writing Leon's post, the redneck, interstellar James Bond. He don't give a rat's *** about gettin' all whipped up 'bout such nonsense.

Oh, and I think it was Sachmo's race I met....hehe.

But I am working on another post from someone with more responsibility and integrity...so he'll say a few words for sure.

Just curious: what quadrant type did you use?

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 

A large midlife quadrant. I generated a map randomly, but then I went through and setup common starting points that were spaced out a bit to ensure people didn't start right next to each other. To give us time to develop our empires and stories before all the fighting begins.
