Darkwing -> Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (5/28/2014 2:10:50 PM) Hi all, this is my second AAR (the first is The Arcadian Republic that I did a while back) Game Setup v1.9.0.7 Distant Worlds Extended Mod 3.0.2 My own addition of human ship images, based on ones I made from Star Blazers and some of Kathaniel’s models. System names based on Bayer designations. (I used the Game editor to change a handful) Spiral Galaxy Expansion: PreWarp Research: Expensive Aggression: Restless Space Creatures: Normal Difficulty: Hard Pirates: Normal Race: Human Tech Level: PreWarp Government: Republic Auto-Generate 35 starting empires All storylines enabled No victory conditions - Sandbox mode Spoiler Warning: I do have the storylines enabled, so parts of the story WILL be spoiled as I get to them in the game. Be warned. The first two parts are now up, and I will be adding a new part roughly once a day: Part 1 2100-2104 Part 2 2105-2109 Part 3 2110-2114 Part 4 2115-2119 Part 5 2120-2124 Part 6 2125-2129 Part 7 2130-2134 Part 8 2135-2139 Part 9 2140-2144 Part 10 2145-2149 Part 11 2150-2154 Part 12 2155-2159 Part 13 2160-2164 Part 14 2165-2169 Part 15 2170-2174 Part 16 2175-2179 Part 17 2180-2184 Part 18 2185 Part 19 2186-2189

Werewolf13 -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (5/28/2014 3:23:58 PM) Fun reads. And here I thought that at game's beginning one had no choice but to pay the pirates off.

Darkwing -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (5/28/2014 7:05:03 PM) There is an element of luck in dealing with the initial pirates. When they show up and mean business, it can set you back pretty far. When I play, I like to develop a "mindset" for my government, and be faithful to that. For example, sometimes my governments will "never negotiate with pirates", even when doing so would gave me an in-game advantage. Other times I'm more willing to deal with them. But either way, I like to pick a "philosophy" and stick with it, dealing with the consequences.

Darkwing -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (6/20/2014 12:03:27 PM) And that's it! Part 19 of the Olympian Republic Campaign has been posted, and that wraps up the campaign.

Retreat1970 -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (6/21/2014 1:10:59 PM) Excellent Job. Have not read it all yet, but it's a good read. Hope you do another.

Darkwing -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (6/21/2014 2:01:52 PM) Thanks! What I need is comments like this so I know people are actually reading it so I know it's worth doing another...

Efaferal -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (6/25/2014 2:52:10 PM) Great AAR. Like the story telling narration.

Keston -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (6/27/2014 10:31:41 AM) Jolly good, an effective story well told with very handy screenshots. Having the full-map screenshot to intro each segment is helpful for getting oriented. Even in my own game, I find it hard to keep track of the web of relationships the way the diplomatic interface is set up - good for direct comparisons, but takes effort to maintain the big picture. You did a good job of explaining what was happening.

Hrdina -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (8/9/2014 6:33:37 AM) Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed reading it. I've been having trouble keeping up with my favorite video AARs, so it is nice to come across a well-written text AAR.

llanite_slith -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (8/27/2014 8:34:05 PM) I have to say - I have a preference for well-written text AARs.

Solastar -> RE: Shadows AAR: The Olympian Republic (2/3/2015 5:31:34 AM) This was totally awesome! I'm only on episode 7, but I am hopeful for the future of the Olympian way! I enjoy the narration because its very similar to what im doin in my head while I play. I look forward to more.
