GW6, how would we like to see the series end?
« on: November 14, 2004, 12:15:54 pm »
According to the historical GW series, GW6 was a repeat of GW4, however, recent comments suggest that perhaps we as a community want to re-write hitsory for fun sake, especially since it seems redundant replaying the same scenario.

What then shall we have for GW6?

All races? Less OOB? Keep the Build point system but open it up a bit more?

Suggestions, please genetlemen.

Having the Lyrans achieve their true destiny by turning the rest of the races into nip farmers, while perfecting the spaying and neutering of the Kzin people would seem to be a popular choice.

Cash is better.


Although I am thinking of stuff . . .  and reading what people post.

Still waiting for the cash though.  It helps me think clearer.

Personally, I would like to see an all races server. Map something like this...


Lyran          Klingon          Romulan          ISC

Kzin            Federation     Gorn               Hydran


You asked... so there it is. My dream server. I think the map set up this way would promote reasonably fair matchups across the front. Nothing is perfect, but I like Kzin vs. Lyran, Klingon vs. Fed, Rom vs. Gorn and think Hydran have the best shot against the ISC. Of course, numbers playing would be a big factor, as always, but I think this would be fun.

*EDIT: Appears to have cost me a negative karma for putting Lyran and Kzin in the wrong slots, so I changed it*

Keep your lyran furballs and we'll keep the mirak.
By the way, for feedback, leave gw6 alone. We've gone this far trying not to rewrite history so finsish it off please.
Someone earlier suggested that we would revisit the GW series, make the changes then.

Why, the way its SUPPOSED to end, with the Andromedeans coming in and BUTCHERING the ranks of the ISC. (As was hinted at in the end of EAW. Or was it the end of OP? I cant remember.

Weve got the Rocks now, why not the Andros?

I was thinking along the same lines... GW7 = ISC Invasion, GW8 = Andro Invasion.

But SFC2 can't do the additional races properly, and a simulation just doesn't have the same "flava".

I'd like to see permanent webs as a terrain type in D2, ala "Operation Nutcracker"... and since they take so long to build, we'd need race-specific missions for the Thols to build terrain... then there's Andro PA panels, the whole 9.  Ah well, maybe in SFC5.
