It's in it's fairly early stages at the moment but it is playable and working out quite nicely. I'm not sure if I'll release it to the public or not. If I do it'll be on a "don't hassle me if it doesn't work" basis. The name of the campaign is "Babylonian History X". Please feel free to speculate as to what is involved in the campaign.

Intrigueing...
I'm sure it will be as good as Raider Wars!
Does X stand for some never mentioned events or facts?
Or it stands for an alternative history?
Or for some top secret data?
Or something experimental?

The history and formation of Babylon 5?

[Primus]

Babylonian History X = Babylon 5 + Malcom X = Racism on Babylon 5




doesn't actually know what malcolm x about

[Azrael15]

I'm willing to bet it's a collection of 'historical' B5 missions. Like Severed Dreams, Fall of Night, Endgame, Into the Fire...

[IPAndrews]

It will be more conventional than RW. Yet typically unconventional at the same time. aipz is the closest so far with his collection of guesses.

[Sigma957]

What if scenarios?? or from the other side of the fence.

[tomcat]

WTF Ian  are bored or something?

[IPAndrews]

Bored no. Genius FREDder yes.

[Primus]

Sure you are...

But I'm looking forward to this.

[IPAndrews]

I'm modest too.

[Primus]

And not a hard case at all. That's why it would be a pleasure to work with you.

[IPAndrews]

Actually I'm a pain in the ass.

Oh wait, oh I see now

[Col. Fishguts]

Could you please take your romantic interlude to PMs ? Thanks.

Well anyway, before I build up this campaign too much only to disappoint everyone (probably too late already) let me tell everyone what it's all about. It's a very simple idea really. Babylonian History X is a non-linear campaign about a war between two races of your choice. The fortunes of your race vary depending on how well you perform in the missions and the campaign continues until either your homeworld or that of the enemy is defeated.

Although it can be considered to be in a pretty embreyonic form at the moment it is already a fully working campaign. I played it through last night as the Vorlons and defeated the Earth Alliance in a fairly short campaign.

[Primus]

Sounds good to me.
Still looking forward to it.

[I_E_Maverick]

that sounds like a great idea and i am happy that it is already working.
i am with you on this if you need any more models
ideas also...

Actually that paragraph has done more to pique my interest in the campaign than the rest of the speculation has.

How are you planning to handle that bit about the player choosing both sides? Multiple missions? Use of persistent variables?

[IPAndrews]

It uses campaign persistent variables to store the ships used by the chosen races.

[Azrael15]

That sounds cool. No, make that very cool.

I'm very curious to see how this can work.
