Prestory:
WW II parody:
Just when humanity found its way into space, building a great empire, the crowded and atomic danger became transparent and the first colonies tried to become independent. Nations arose through old traditions and bloodlines claiming once again ideals of the perfect rule, fueled by centuries below a stupid consensus world republic, and forces the space into a state of war. First skirmishes ensued, followed by smaller empire wars leading up to the great first galactic war! After the first shattering war had been settled and a layer of silence descended upon the destroyed galaxy as the remainders rebuild themselves, first scouts told a terrible truth. Again the greatest nations and threats of the past came into being. A clash between capitalism, socialism and national socialsm... between racial supremacy and equality... and in a corner of the galaxy the remainder of the once polish colony and new small empire exhaled...
"Not again!"

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
I will not add unique ships apart of the germans because I am not good at ship design.
You are free to submit ship and race designs though.

I haven't a modder's bone in my body, I fear. Whatever you put out, though, I'm sure will be quite fun--even if I am unable to contribute!

Here is a picture of one, if not THE major power in the mod with a hint on their not that secret victory conditions.

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Very nice. Now I'm really interested. How many factions do you intend to do? You could easily fill all 20 slots with applicable "races" if you have the time. I dream of the interstellar battle of midway on one end of the galaxy, and the great seige of planet Stalingrad on the other!

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Wow! This is really interesting Surley it will be fun to play
RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Really great idea for a mod. IMO, something like this doesn't really need new shipsets. They help, but are not necessary.
If you can make a systems.txt file for it as well, you can put names like Midway, Carentan, Guadalcanal (sp), etc... Would be awesome to have locations of battles that we recognise. Realistic, maybe not, but would be a nice feature.[:)]

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Ever considered to get inspiration from The Mutant Chronicle world ?
Introduction : "Since the exodus from Earth the traditional nation-states of the world have merged into five huge megacorporations: Bauhaus, styled after the culture of continental Europe, the American-influenced Capitol, the Japanese-themed Mishima, the British-inspired Imperial, and the ultra-secretive ambiguous Cybertronic, all of whom use private military forces to fight for resources. Luna (the Moon) itself is considered to be neutral ground and is home to the massive city-state known as Luna City. The other major power of this universe is the Brotherhood, a fanatical religious organization formed to meet the threat of the Dark Legion, an ancient evil comprising five "Dark Apostles" and their horde of hideous mutants."

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
I like the idea of keeping with the uniforms and armaments of WWII. Even though we're talking about the distant future here, it could be an interesting design choice to 'revert' to an older style of military. The guns may look like MP40's, but they're more advanced.
Would make it very easy to find troop images also... [;)]

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Well humans might become bigger - see the nazi commander - but they are not changing their form in 500 years. Therefore it is completly understandable to have the same design. The difference is the material; Nano-textiles etc.

This mod is fascinating and disturbing all the same. Guess i live in a country where the "Das vierte Reich" flags are NSFW Keep it up.

I definetly live in the same one... I guess... but it is only forbidden to "import" these in a physical substance AND to show them in public. Your privat PC in Germany is your decision. You are even allowed to get a tattoo of it as long as it stays hidden outside. No more bathing for you!

We present to you...
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Join the United Colonies and prove once again, that a darwin society ruled by the sucessful of indiscriminate origin is a warrant for peace and prosperity... and take all the ressources you need in the process. After all your nation comes first!?

RE: [WIP] Galactic War II
Nice mod.
Doesn't a empire based upon a Darwinian concept (plutocracy) and "manifest destiny" of taking resources.
Seem to be a oxymoron with a racial winning conditions of "least wars in the galaxy". Perhaps control 50% of galaxy resources would be better.
Perhaps the winning condition applies more to the maple syrup worshiping canucks.
Your United Colonies would actually be a constitutional republic. But perhaps in a alternative timeline, the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937 actually passes, the court became stacked, and old republican values like electoral voting was done away with a direct democracy like “popular vote”. Then perhaps it would be considered a democracy.
Still the only empire with the "world destroyer" would probably be the United colonies. Making them the shakturi???
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Brings on a whole new meaning.
