The story of the Orlox empire.

[Data]

In 2758, we found a marshy moon orbiting a gas giant in the Tiyr system. On this moon grows a kind of nuts called Megallos nuts. It seems our neighbors of the Vilmuueni Syndicate like these quite a lot so we sent a construction ship to build the infrastructures to cultivate those nuts.

Are you refering to the Vilmuueni Syndicate? [:)]

rofl good one

Neat AAR. I don't have the patience sometimes to report every little thing that happens. It's difficult to even report the big things especially when they happen at the same time, like they did in the last chapter of the Pestulon AAR.
ROTS sounds better and better, unfortunately it would probably eat a lot of my time the first couple of days after buying it so I might wait till the holiday. Keep up the good work, and remember to HAVE FUN, I found out that it makes creating the AAR much more enjoyable if you like the game so much that you get involved in it.

Cheers

Merker: Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like the aar. For the having fun part, don't worry, I haven't had so much fun with a 4x game since Master of Orion 2. The only problem I have with the game is my lack of time for playing it! [:D] Anyway enjoy the aar, the next update will come this weekend.

Nice AAR!

The format you're doing it is great. Hope you can will keep (like)this way when things get more complex. [;)]

[Data]

Don't discourage him....we want to profit from his energy for as long as possible [:)]

[J HG T]

Never say no to Wrex, Data! [:D]
Anyway, hope you can keep doing this AAR Harkonnen.

[Data]

Yap, we're all behind you Harkonnen....far far away behind you [:)]

[tedesco]

I'm in no way discouraging him.  [:D]

I just want the AAR to keep going since it is pretty good.

[Endogarde]

tedesco: don't worry, as I said at the start of the aar, this is going to be a slow/full of details aar, due to my lack of time and my wish to make it the way I am doing it now. Thank you for your comments by the way.

[center]Exploration[/center]



The exploration of the big cluster is still under way. At the end of the year, our explorers encountered a construction ship with markings that seem to be of an organised empire. Here is a drawing of their flag.

[center]Infrastructure[/center]




Nothing much happened this year. The construction of the large star base on Zaldix 4, at the end of the year, is already half constructed.

[center]Diplomacy[/center]





Due to the lack of contacts between thise ''new'' empire and ours, there was nothing of note this year. Our relations with the Vilmuueni Syndicate are still good if not cool.







[center]Research[/center]





After six years of hard work, our scientists were finally able to upgrade our shields by overloading the capacitators, the recharge rate and strength was greatly enhanced. Due to the expertise of these scientists, only six months after we asked them to design new equipement for construction, they had already came up with a good number of great designs. Orders was then given to find a way to advance the technology of the hyperdrive reactor we are using at the moment. Faster interstellar speed will be needed if we are to wage a war with any of our two neighbors.






[center]Military[/center]





On 05.25, the 1st Fleet was finally ready to attack the pirate base/fleet in the Mytos system. Upon their arrival, the admiral of the first fleet contacted us saying that the three frigates fleet was nowhere to be found. After a quick battle, the pirate battle station was destroyed. On 06.19, the 4th Fleet was finished. It was immediately sent to the Nam Khureus system.

No word from Nam Khureus....is the 4th still with us? [:)]

[Endogarde]

I'm very busy these days, sorry for the lack of updates.

[Data]

Don't worry, we'll be here
Take care

[martok]

No worries, Harkonnen. I look forward to the next installment, whenever it comes. [:)]

The exploration of the big cluster is still under way. Nothing much to note.

At the end of the year the large space port orbiting the colony on Zaldix 4 is finished. This will surely give our empire a huge economical boost and help in the construction of ships.

Nothing of note happened.





[center]Research[/center]





Multiple designs were developed this year. More efficient blasters, enhanced hyperdrive and enhanced engines. Our focus is still in upgrading our fleet in precaution to any war that might be forced upon us by our new neighbors. We decided to fund new scientist teams to enhanced even more our research.





[center]Military[/center]




Multiple pirates attacks occured during this year. Pirates are becoming more and more prudent, attacking small isolated targets on the fringes of our territory. Everytime a fleet is sent to intervene, the pirates choose to flee.
After two attacks, a mining station in the Cappa system was destroyed.

Something weird happened, is it possible that with the ''new'' patch, the one that came out in april I think, isn't compatible with saved game? My saves just seem to have vanished... I will try to look for them but I can't understand why installing a new patch would delete my saves.

On the load menu screen

Click on the Distant Worlds folder options to show the previous patches save folder

Each new patch makes a seperate save game folder for some reason

[Endogarde]

Oh got it, thank you!
