Title: AAR: Eco-Terrorism - Discussion Thread
Post by: Eadee on July 12, 2015, 01:19:52 AM

Link to the actual AAR (http://www.alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=16639.0)

Like I mentioned in the AAR, this is my first try on this stuff so...

Please if you have any thoughts, comments or recommendations you are willing to share, please post them here.  :)

I'm happy about every contribution, be it regarding the way I play or the way I document it in the AAR.

In a dedicated comment thread or not?  Others will want to comment.  They'll do it more in the AAR thread, but then you'd have the comments in the middle of your story - also not the extra 20ec.

Disregard - I didn't realize what thread I was commenting in.  You'll want to link the AAR in your OP for convenience -and the comment thread in the OP of the AAR- especially for the benefit of posterity in the misty future...

See my edit.

Something's rotten in Denmark - the pic in the OP worked when I first looked, but it and all pics in the second post are now not displaying.  I will have a look in Chrome, too, to see if it's a browser glitch.

Strange, it works for me in Firefox and Chrome... IE shows only the images of the last two posts.
I'm gonna have a look at this Problem tomorrow. Its getting far to late here.

I'm back.

The screenshots should be too. Please test it, I uploaded them on my own website for now, I think there is an Issue with Dropbox.

I'm a builder, and speaking as one, I like how you start.  Expand to over the horizon is the only way to go early...

:) Happy you like it. I hate it to be isolated on an island like this, but we got really lucky with that foil so its allright.

And sorry for the delay of that last Post. I assumed I'd return earlier.

It's doing better for views in the three places I linked it on Facebook a few hours ago than the modder art goodie file of leaderheads I posted Tuesday - and I made some mighty good leadheads.

Title: Re: AAR: Eco-Terrorism - Discussion Thread
Post by: Eadee on July 12, 2015, 10:24:26 PM

Good to hear (both, that it gets views and that you made good leadheads (honestly, I have no idea what leadheads are)).
:)

Working on uploading the next part right now.

Finished for today. Can't promise to keep this speed up during the week. So don't yell at me if it takes some more time :D .

Those Leaderheads are pretty awesome though!

I'm getting used to this AAR-stuff, means it doesn't take that much time as it did in the very beginning.

However I'm wondering if I'm to detailed on some stuff here. Especially the diplomacy screenshots seem unneccessary.
Maybe I should just write out what happened in diplomacy without any pictures?

I'd really like to get some feedback if I'm getting into to much detail in this AAR or not (not only regarding diplomacy).

Title: Re: AAR: Eco-Terrorism - Discussion Thread
Post by: Buster's Uncle on July 16, 2015, 02:01:07 AM

I dunno.  Detailed is better for beginners/casual players - and this is doing VERY well on Facebook.

You should be able to see the second post - Mart posted a movie mod demo/beta, and I just began promoting it.

Also second post here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/131175990236847/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/131175990236847/) - I don't really know the answer to the question, but if you want to say you wonder about that yourself or whatever, I'll be glad to pass along.

I really should stop posting these AARs this late, I just almost destroyed my Post "Class reunion IV" because I forgot to scroll down before modifying and ctrl-V a whole other post in it.

I was never happier about my browser cache than today. Post saved, everything back to normal.

Aaaaand I'm getting some sleep now.

I feel flattered, but I was busy yesterday (blame BUncle and Trenacker! ;) ) so the next part will come either this evening or one of the following ones (can't promise daily AAR on weekdays).

Post by: Eadee on July 29, 2015, 01:49:06 PM

Found the time to continue between the exams. But the next part will have to wait again until I finished the last one on August 6th.

But things are going well,  ;miriam; is going to fear our assault.

Okay, it takes me significant more time to make these than it used to. I think I just need to get more into it again to speed the process up again.

But for tonight thats it, more to come this weekend :)

Post by: Eadee on February 26, 2016, 07:28:58 AM

Well, it feels like a pretty long weekend *cough*

In my defense, someone tries to introduce me to video recording my games these days. That took a lot of my attention this week... I mean weekend.

I do want to continue this AAR soon, and with a little luck this will be possible this afternoon.

Title: Re: AAR: Eco-Terrorism - Discussion Thread
Post by: Eadee on March 18, 2016, 11:03:01 AM

Okay... since the birth of my second son last weeknd I just have no hope to continue this AAR in a reasonable timeframe since it takes much more time than playing a regular game.

Therefore I decided to post the sav-file to enable curious readers of this AAR to play along on their own. I'll also post the first savgame of this game in case someone wants to start over.

I don't mind if someone writes spoilers on how the game worked out for them (or even does another AAR out of it).


Maybe in a year or so I will continue the AAR myself. But I have no idea what the future brings.
