Just for fun, I did a search on kazharii in a search engine, and this was the only site that showed up.

Don't you know? Every game needs a deep back story, otherwise you are forced to use your imagination. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

DEAR GOD! THEY ARE FORCING PEOPLE TO THINK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Honestly, bask stories are good and not good.

Example:

Starcraft has an excellent story line and history.
Good example.

However, the story line is so good, that making a Starcraft II could easily upset the fan franchise and cause a loss in funds.

MM left the story line open for us fans to fill.

the Map editor allows up to create many many campaigns on top of that.

Ultimat Mod II will, hopefully have a ver exciting and epic campaign taking place over several thousands eons and the history of the universe.

I am glad that SE doesn't have a back story. Part of the premise of the game is that you create that backstory as you play.

SE4 has that 'generic' quality, that (not in a bad way) leaves it up to the fans and modders/scenario makers to add the story.

Ya. I pestered 'em to make sure they stayed on top of SE4G, to make sure it got the coverage due such a phenomenal game.

Of course, I probably wasn't the only one.

Disregard this review. The guy was smok'in crack and had been up for 6 days strait when he mistakenly wrote this review of our beloved game. (Flame yes, but honestly... who flamed first. A 3.5/5 - give me a break!)

Just curious, but why in the world do you need a deep backstory for a 4X game?

Re: gonegold.com
 

One thing that always got me in StarCraft was on the terran mission where you lose kerrigan, even if she is with the main force of massive numbers, and is in a transport, she still gets captured. Amazing, she must run willingly to the Zerg
The story must go on though

Huh? The option to start with only a colony ship?
