Poor Vegans

Phoig — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:28:02 -0400

Not as dramatic or elegant as some; more of a sort rambling commentary...

Over my weekend gaming spree I managed to get in two games, one of which is still going. The first one I had to "terminate" because it was quite obvious that I was about to get a can of whoop @$$ opened on me by the Thalans. It was down to them, me and the Altarians - who were obnoxious but not enough so to stall the Thalans. Sigh...

Second game puts me and my beloved Terrans stuck on the middle edge of the map. Ah,...

What is your favorite AAR?

GeneralEtrius — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:47:54 -0400

There have been a ton of great AARs posted.

My favorites are "Counterstrike" and "The Last Battlefield"

What are your favorite AARs?

The Way of The Krynn

mambaman — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:10:03 -0400

THE JIHAD OF KRYNN "It is the sad narrative of our galaxy that races seem inclined to commit genocide against other races on their home worlds. The Altarians and Drath once shared a home world. The Yor and the Iconians once shared a home world. The Drengin and Korath once shared a home world. The Arnor and Dread Lords used to share a home world when they were known as the precursors. Even the diplomatic humans once shared a home world with the Neanderthals who ...

Ideological War

bertio5 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:30:49 -0400

This is my first conventional AAR. I hope you enjoy it. I just wanted to say that this is already written, so it won’t interfere with Rise of an Empire, which is not finished.For several months now the major powers in the Galaxy have been claiming worlds and asteroids in the galaxy. The nations are divided up into a war of the Good, Evil, and Neutral civilizations. So far only basic Stinger weapons have been researched. It is time for Terran victory.I put together m...

Rise of the Earth Federation

General Homsar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:14:29 -0400

"I've always hated bureaucrats, but now I have become one. Even If it means I'm the head of government that spans an entire planet, irony...sucks."
Edgar Ford, President of the Earth Federation to reporters, circa 2226.

Throughout the twenty-first century, humans wondered how, when, of if Earth would be united.
Some thought it would be out of pure and bare necessity after World War Three, others though it would a military coup' de tat, and some though it would never be united.
However, t...

The Terran Odyssey

Namus — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:27:09 -0400

Okay, so here we are once again, with another tale of glory and sacrifice, but with a difference.

It is the rule of nature that all things evolve over time, get stronger and grow bigger.

Empires grow & expand, and they also wither away in the sands of time. Great civilizations are built, flourish and then are destroyed, but they leave behind indelible footprints, the traces of which are always there for the true seekers of knowledge to find.

And there has always been, and there will alw...

Just another Terran AAR

Serendreus — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:55:56 -0400

Goodmorning chaps and chapettes,

This here will be my first AAR ever, so I'm quite anxious to learn what youguys think. It's about us, the silly willy humans. Yes, I know, there are like1.3 million Terran AARs online already, however I find it easier to write froma perspective I can quickly relate to - and since it's my first time I ask youto be gentle... Should you be tired of another pinkskin AAR, I suggest you stop reading here. My next report (if there will beone) will be ab...

Super Warrior AAR -- First Strike FTW?

AmazingBen — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:27:06 -0400

As promised, I'm back with my brand new totally omega awesome xtreme Super Warrior AAR Of Death +3. Not too long ago I wrote a really, really long and uneventful report about my favorite play style, the Super Diplomat, where I managed to win the game and establish myself as the most formidable civilization without even so much as firing a single shot, but rather achieved victory by passing out daisies and crapping sunshine and rainbows all over the place. Sure that's great and all woo hoo Dipl...

Hey everyone, the creative juices are flowing again, and I'm back with my latest story/AAR.

"Do you know what I love about you?" she asked as she wrapped herself around him, and let her fingers slide through his thinning hair.

"No, please enlighten me." Henry responded as he gave her a light kiss on her parted lips.

Jordan's Revenge

GeneralEtrius — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:22:49 -0400

All right, this is part two of the trilogy I'm writing. The first part was Altaria' Last Stand. http://forums.galciv2.com/176275. I've written a summary of part 1, but you may want to read the actual story if you want more details.

Okay: Here it is.

The Great Galactic Diplomates (Korath@ToA@Obscene@Medium)

Herodias — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:13:17 -0400

Somewhere in space a Petunia said "Not again". Somewhere else in the universe - or maybe in a different universe alltogether - at the exact same time a Korath said "Not again!" too.

Yes, the Korath Emperor knew that feeling all too well. A Higher Power somehow is dumping them on a planet, takes away all previous knowledge about technology, culture and all possessions. Then they are supposed to struggle for domination of the galaxy they are in. And eventually they usually are getting extermina...

At first, I want to say that I'm no native english speaker. I just tried to create an AAR because I liked others on this website and because I wanted to practise my english skills. So, if you find grammar mistakes, just say it to me (I think there will be quite a lot), I'll edit it

The Last Battlefield

Alan Bradley looked out the window of Star Force One as it approached the verdant green planet of Piers 3, soon-to-be legendary site of the Piers Accords. It had been ten long years since the beginning of the Great Leap to the Stars, after a blunder by his well-meaning predecessor had leaked the secret of hyperdrive to every alien race. The end result: a mad colonizati...

Rise of an EmpireKil’Tan Shipyards, Area 8-D, Drengi, Drengia, Sector 1-2, 1 Jan 2227.The construction was coming along nicely. Lord Kona sat on his blood painted throne and observed the slavelings working on the first Hyperdrive ship the Empire had made. There had been an age when only communications could be sent between different star systems, but no longer. With these communications the Drengin Empire had made alliances with all of the other evil powers. The Yor and t...

Jack Nicholson put his coffee cup on the steel desk near his radar screen.He chuffed, stirring the black liquid.The same job eight hours a day, six days a week,four weeks a month.

The mostinteresting thing that happened in three months had been when Lieutenant Esherput a Torian lizard in Commodore Fitherly’s sh...

Pictures Question

How do you put pictures into an AAR? I wrote a good one in Word but the pictures didn't work.

Somewhere in Hyperspace

So this is my first journal entry, and the only reason I started keeping one was because Jenkins had one too many beers and got philosophical.

See, we were sitting in mess hall 7117 after training, kicking back and having a couple of beers, and we started reflecting on just how great the ol' "Valley Forge" is. Biggest troop transport in its class, powerful as hell and faster than shit on skates. Anyway, Jenkins started talking about ...

Shadow Sun

RogueIdea — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:56:12 -0400

It was a beautiful day: sunny and warm without being swelteringly hot, a few clouds in the spring sky with a gentle breeze. "A perfect day for some yardwork," Aleksander Lashenko said to himself. Yardwork indeed, he was planting a fresh patch of grass after the installation of a new septic system had torn up part of the yard. He took a moment to gaze into the sky with satisfaction when he saw what looked like a daytime meteor shower.

"Crash down pods!" he said breathlessly.&...

Let me start of in saying that I'm sorry for lack of pictures and even a lot of detail accounts as I hadn't planned on making this game into an AAR and am not at the computer that even holds the game.

From the Shadows

Silverbeacher — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 01:29:06 -0400

A stale wind whistled through the crumbling remains of the abandoned city that was once the capital of a powerful empire. Pulling his cloak closer around him, the one that others called Eratan, looked solemnly at the sky above. Once, in his youth, it was filled with many bright stars, but now only the dim light of a few distant pinpricks reached his eyes. A tear began to form but the dry air left his eyes and skin parched. He continued on in this fashion, walking down with his cloak pulled t...
