X3GC2 - Rise of the Gerandor Republic Mod for Twilight of the Arnor

What is the X-Universe ?

There were a series of games called X X2 and X3 that came out. I never played them myself, but they look interesting. They are using the games as back to create a whole universe built on it...and they are doing a great job at it.

Were thet 4x type games like GalCiv, cuz I've never heard of them.

hey, thanks for the compliment, no the X saga is a Space Simulation, allowing th player to Trade, Fight, Build and Think, you can choose between Cargoships, Fighters and Battleships or you build your own space stations to produce goods which you can sell.

There's a lot of Trade in it but also nice battles.

This game has a huge and very detailed story over thousands of years, thats why I've chosen to make a mod of it in GC2.

And the mass amount of features in GC2 Twilight of the Arnor allows me to nearly convert every dust particle of the X Universe into GalCiv2

stay excited

So when will the mod come out? I can't wait for it. I love X3 too.

I will try to put out a first Beta by end of August, with the current progress it's a possible release termin. You can support us by beeing our Fan, that encourages us a lot

I didn't think one was allowed to use another game's assets like this because it is a breach of copyright. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Interesting nonetheless. I have X3 and while I've never really gotten into it because of time constraints it always looked like an interesting game with some cool ship designs.

We have the permission of egosoft got per telephone.

An official permission always is a big 'selling point' for amibtious mods like this! Now we can be sure that the project won't be closed down half-way because of some company lawyer.

 

@ Stefan:

Phänomenal. Sogar 'Wozuras' sind drin. Macht weiter so!

@pndrev: hehe ja das war das leichteste^^ danke

yeah we're really lucky that we have the permission, we will also present this mod personally to Bernd Lehan, the CEO of Egosoft.

Wow thats impressive stuff, getting their permission and all! Look forward to what you can achieve with it.

Sorry I didnt get the scoop on the X games right, I had never heard of them before this and honestly the first time I saw your post, I thought you were making a conversion based on X-com haha. Which would be ok in my book too! Actually, my custom human race takes off from there as I play from the end of the first game(in my own little world that is). We have just beaten them back, come back from Mars, and have decided that we dont want to be invaded anymore. Thus we start making ships...Sorry...its a bad habit I have of making rp ideas for every game I play. Drives my wife nuts lol

This mod looks incredible. You guys look like you've put a lot of time into it. Can't wait!

Thanks! a lot of time is right, 2 years

I'm looking forward to this. I have all of the Gal Civ II series and I have X3 Reunion.  The graphics in X3 are excellent as is the 3D space simulation. 

Will your Mod be turned based or real time?

it will be a mod for galciv2 so it must be turn based
