Service Guarantee's Citizenship.  Would you like to know more?




IMPORTANT INFORMATION for players:


Player Turn's


Each Player will play for a 10 year period.



At the end of that 10 year period, the current player will zip or rar his save database and post a link to it on this forum. I personally use Dropbox for these things now, pretty nice.

Game Version used:


5.01 version of Aurora will be used!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:


Installation of 5.01 is easy ::) . Go to the Aurora Forums AURORA FORUM LINK, and download the following links...

You need to run the setup in this file, Do not overwrite anything it asks about though, its old and useless, it adds a bunch of .dll files though.


1) Download AuroraInstall and unzip it. You will have four files called Aurora.CAB, Setup.exe, Setup.LST and AuroraUpdate491.zip

2) Run Setup.exe. This will run a standard Microsoft install program, installing to the default
C:\Program Files\Aurora directory. If you are asked about overwriting any existing files with older files, make sure you keep the existing files

3) Unzip AuroraUpdate491.zip into the same directory (usually C:\Program Files\Aurora but check to make sure!) and answer yes to overwriting Aurora.exe and Stevefire.mdb.

1) Base Aurora files to install

Then download and copy this database over 4.91 files

2) aurora500 database

Then copy this database over to the aurora folder

3) Aurora 501 database

 

Save your database every few years please!

That way if massive bug occurs you can revert without replaying 10 years. just rar the entire folder every few years so you have it in case.

Inactivity:

If you become inactive with the save we will skip you, please keep us aware that you didnt fall off a ledge and die a week ago and we are still waiting for your turn.  :D

Communication:
We will be using Steam to keep in touch mainly I think, Most of the players in the list are in the Aurora 4x steam group.

http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791430952164


Game Rules:


No SM Mode past initial game setup and getting around bugs, I will SM mode password the game so i know the game isn't being cheated in I guess.

Maintenance:

There will be Maintenance, deal with it, ships dont just fly around magically repairing themselves.

Inexperienced Fleets:

Yes there will be inexperienced fleets, you'll need to train them ship captains to work together and follow orders quickly, or else you will die to a horrible command delay.


Starting age:

CONVENTIONAL START



Starting Solar System


UNKNOWN STARTING SOLAR SYSTEMS.

Difficulty Settings:

Difficulty will be as difficult as I can make it.   :o

Starting Technology and ships:

Due to Conventional Start there will be no research to begin with.
Due to Conventional Start there will also be no ships to begin with.


BUGS:


Aurora has plenty of bugs, this is well known, and some of these bugs can create error spam issues. I as the SM will keep aware of these issues and If the error spam begins in a game I will try to "recreate" the game either by using an old save and copying what ships we have in the current game and trying to get around the error, or by creating an entire new game as closely following our last one as possible.

Tutorials-

There are Tutorials for stuff on the aurora forum and Wiki, but they are now sorta old so tread carefully.

http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Main_Page#Links


Players will have a 4 day period to play their turn, after those 4 days they will be skipped. (This time limit may be changed later in game when things get quite more sophisticated)



Players:


Journier <--- My turn

Welcome to the Sol system home of the United Earth Government!



In a small building on Earth the 3rd planet from the sun something very important is occurring, if we use google earth we can zoom in pretty close and see.


Storm the room!, Yelled Commander Journier.

The voice rang off the walls as men ran forward, some falling, but most making it close enough to use the TX-500 flame throwers. Shots rang off the walls and men guarding the president collapsed into piles of dead and melting skin, Guess they never thought about how hard it was to defend against flame throwers in the White House thought Journier with a smirk.
 
The president of Earth was dead finally, after a 30 year term that nearly brought Earth back into the dark ages.

It is the year 2025.

The famines alone killed 1 Billion, the spread of disease took the rest.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I as Earths New Governor will rule with authority but with a caring hand towards my followers. We need to get this place back in order and quick!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our economy is currently in shambles. A mere skeleton of its once powerful abilities.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


Our natural resources arent looking much better thats for sure.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of my scientists named Scotty tells me that his team has an idea about some magical ability to go faster than light and have super strong materials and increase the efficiency of all our construction output.

After I was done laughing in their face, I told them that it was their lives they were betting with and they nodded heavily and ran off to try the bet of a lifetime.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With such a limited population to draw people from, and most having died in the last 30 years, the weak scientists of our people are few and far between. Here is all the leaders in each field my subordinates could find.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

While that was being done, i used Earths few industrial centers that were remaining to begin trying to rebuild some form of economy.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
9 months later, Scotty my bro calls me up and hes all like "come on down here and see this shit man"

I went down to the research facility that is in walking distance of my oceanside palace and see what hes all talking about.

He fucking got that incredibly lucky and actually got his so called "trans-newtonian" shit to work!

What the fuck? this is like magic!

Now we are capable of all kinds of new fields of research!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I quickly reassign our researchers to these new amazing fields with prowess that only the Prom Queen of my high school can know of.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

However, One of my subordinates started trying to tell me how to begin and I quickly Informed him of the following in a polite manner.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Next time he speaks outta turn hes getting shit canned, with a silencer to the back of the head in a dark ally.

I mean... with walking papers.. yea....

Our industry by late september of 2025 is capable of new construction of upgraded mines, and factories. I order them to begin on a contract for 450 of each upgrading the old and useless ones.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The research teams as of 2026 are beginning research into various important fields of this amazing technology.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


By 2027 our industry had increased quite dramatically.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

only more to come from this, our mining ability has increased just as well.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

By January 2028 we have another great jump in our industrial output.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
on June 2028 we finished our research into more advanced TN mining techniques.

Soon we will have such amazing mining capability to strip earth of everything!
What a glorious future indeed!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I am told that we will soon have the ability to roam the solar system freely with amazing TN engine power of the future. Sadly when I asked them about flying cars they said it still wasnt practical... god damn you 1950's unrealistic goals for the future.... sigh...

by January 2029 we complete research into that pressurized water reactor. Cheap energy for all of earth is now capable!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Our current Industrial capability's as of 2029, Amazing what this technology can do compared to our conventional stuff.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We are so close to researching a engine to easily take us to the other planets in our solar system on the cheap I changed up who was in charge and gave most of the research teams to that Jan Karney girl.

It will pay her dry cleaning bills from me atliest. Thanks Jan.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As of 2030 here is our population and economy, we have been running a surplus for the last 5 years due to my prowess in econometrics.

Our population has been booming as well, not bad looking at all. Im proud of all those women having children for the good of our great fatherland.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once again a new year is upon us and here is my amazing work on getting our industries together.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In February of 2031, a new age dawned on earth.
We have the engine technology to go to the stars.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We shall begin the designing of new ships very soon.
First we need to design and research the actual engines themselves.That finished in April. We now have military and civilian engine designs.

Our ship designs-

The Reconquista class colony ship

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Cargo Class Cargo Ship (im proud of the name)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And there we are.Not much else happened in the mean time.
Just some basic research toward construction efficiency!
Oh and finishing up our conversion of our industry! By 2033 we had finished all conversion of industry and mining industries!

By 2034 I had built a 20,000 ton civilian shipyard for space construction.

Our outlook for 2035, and i hear banging on the doors to my palace... this is odd, where are all my guards... I better make this quick

Industry looks fantastic compared to how it was when i killed that rat bastard presidente

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

our current economy is much healthier and productive than before as well
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look at our amazing population growth, gentlemen we are on our way back to the top! And i managed to keep a surplus for the entire time of my rule, beat that!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Here is our shipyard

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

and our current Mining situation, boy this aint looking good here, but oh well NOT MY PROBLEM SUCKERS HAHAHAHA. Oh shi....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Here is the current save from the year 2035

TURN 2

President TNX is elected into power by his beautiful voice and brimming good looks
that capture the populace and stirs them into a frenzy.  Some call him a socialist,
some a fascist, but none can deny his devilish good looks.  Everyone agrees, the
last ruler was nothing to write home about, but with TNX, this is about to change.
TNX has inherited the following economic conditions: 500 Construction Factories, 4
Research Labs, 1 Mil. Academy, 1/1 Naval/Commercial Yard. 

TNX will be implementing a master plan of two 5 year plans, dubbed the "Satisfactory
Leap Forward".  The first five years will focus on construction capacity with a
target of double the current construction capacity, then a focus on research
facilities, with a target of 15 more research facilities.
The second five years will focus on the future viability of the navy corps and
military aspect of Earth. Five military academies are planned, as well as two more
shipyard complexes.

TNX's Log:
2035-2040: Huge ramp ups in the civilian economy with the addition of 450
construction factories and 13 research labs, with more on the way.  With a desperate
shortage of minerals, geo-survey ships are being sent out to the solar bodies and
infrastructure is being set on mars for a future colony, with colonists following
closely behind.  The Debem Carrier Shipping Line has been heavily subsidized by the
government and has built three cargo ships as well as a colony ship to speed up
infrastructure building and colonizing on other planets.

2040-2043: Earth's hollistic navy academy program has been established and is seeing
huge success, with 6 additional academies built mainly in the U.S., Russia, Germany, France, and
Japan, many scientists and navy officers as well as some promising future
politicians have graduated and will prove to be useful to the United Earth
Government.  The two shipyard complexes have also been built as promised, finishing
much earlier then anticipated.

2043-2045: Looking at the current situation with two years left in the presidential
term, TNX has decided to rebuild Earth's crumbling service economy and its sole
financial center in New York.  With economic power shifting from the Western States
to Asia and the Asian Tiger economies, TNX has contracted various governments and
private companies to build 126 additional financial centers all over the world.

Survey ships have found an abundant amount of resources all over the system, mainly
on Venus and Titan.

Venus.

Titan.

This will surely be taken advantage of by the next president
in power.  With a strong economy and research base, President TNX resigns at the
beginning of 2045 for the next president, Aussieguy.

Hey,

I think we should do conventional start as it lets us mold our empire from the get go. It would be cool to be a alien race in a different solar system but i don't know if that will be hard.

 highest hard settings without error spamming.

I think I'd like to give this a shot, maybe.

Conventional start, Sol and real stars, not too highly increased difficulty.  Maybe 120%?  I'd definitely play it on the safe side with respect to error spam.

I dont know, i get error spamming on anything past 100% for some stupid reason, It doesnt start at first but then few years later on it begins and gets worse.

So I dont even know if I can change the difficulty past 100% :/ Unless someone else has had other experience with no bugs with difficulty changes? I have had people in the steam group say the same is occurring for them.

Id love a 500% difficulty game  :D but god damn it just wont work without error spamming me constantly.

Well I've even had error spam on 100% so it's probably not entirely unavoidable.

with 5.01?

at 100% as long as i dont touch any of the numbers for game settings I have a game still going where I have not had a single error its amazing for like 90 years no error spam or anything but i know if i change any of the difficulty settings it will probably begin.

I'll watch until I feel like joining, its not a loss for me to never get to play this game, :) and besides, me and Journier have way different play styles, so it would be difficult for me to play, and I'm not exactly the most patent player. ::)

I think this should be put on hold until 5.1, as it has genetic mutation, and it would likely break compatibility.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Half the fun is working with what your previous ruler left you. 8) ;D :D ;)

5.1 i think is weeks out still, unless steve hints. Actually ill ask on his forum tonight so i get some idea, if its only a week out I might wait for 5.1.

I'll do it.  Conventional. 
I suggest we collectively pick 1 weapon tech that we all agree on... instead of just going FFA with whatever the first guy researched and/or starting from scratch.
My primary pick is...  Gauss, 2ndary to Torpedo....

5.1

I'm fine with 10 years, worth 2 tours of 60 months...

Fair warning, there are certain things that I'll sabotage with great prejudice, when I become the Tyrant Dictator lawfully elected President of Humanity.  Specifically jump gates.


Note: I don't have steam.

I hope you don't mind me voting 'for the lulz', how about a conventional start with 1Bill pop and the respective facilitates?

Sol is fine, but if you are going to use a non-Sol system, than go with Alpha Centari (in my games its mineral rich and can have many, many earthlike planets), and pick a planet with a 'sister' planet.

SM the correct human stats too if you are going to use a non-Sol, as it would make no sense if humans could live on 2.5 grav planets.

and I call dibs on the name of the first colony cost >=1, planet!

now, the small amounts of posts in this thread is killing me, everyone, start posting/voting!  :P
