new campaign

You are here: Stellar Forces > Campaign > new campaign

• hi steve! what about starting of new campaign? in my opinion during the campaign the interest to the game is higher and more people involved to the game. As for me, if will be new changes or not for me is doesn't matter..for me will be interesting to play in any case.what other players think ?

• That's fine by me, if there's demand for it.

• ok steve, let's organize a vote: who ready to play in campaign. Will be very good if this voting will be possible to see on main page (we need your programmer skills:) ). after possible to calculate the players and think if there is a sense to play the new one.

• I'm out. Too early after the last one.

• I am notg ready for a new campaign. Map and format needs a new concept. All recent upgrades have made massive improvements but still the slog becomes too much.

• To improve the Campaign I suggest that we have campaign only missions. Not the current Campaign versions but completely new ones. Mostly for a fresh feel and also designed for a shorter/quicker result. I also reckon we could try having less sectors on the map. Lastly I would have some sectors dotted about that have special properties. These could be bonus rewards for the victors, penalties for losers, some could have extreme environmental conditions imposed on the missions such as excess ground fog, fire spread, nerve gas leak, hidden landmines, some sectors could have extra days immune to attacks or hidden missions. These last suggestions is to somehow inject variety and life into the map itself. It would be exciting to have a live interactive map but in the short term these ideas might be fun. The unknown extreme environmental conditions is my favourite idea out of all of the above.

• Apology for bad English! = These last suggestions are to somehow inject variety...

• I think it's now time for a new campaign. Usually February when we have one.
  
  Jeez, that last year when even quicker than the preceding one. :/
  
  Maybe discuss one or two changes that anyone feels necessary. And c'mon nothing elaborate, Steve has only the time and I'm sure inclination to just tweak it a bit. Anything that can be done without too much effort.

• good idea! i will join!

• Anyone up for a new campaign to start. I'm feeling ready to rumble.

• I did suggest it last month. ;)
  
  Yes but before is starts we need the teams set up properly. Last time, a couple ran before the starting gun went off, let's say, and got an unfair advantage.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I agree with Xeno. Also we need to avoid the inevitable SLOG. I suggest less sectors on the map.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'll tweak it so people can join a faction for a few days before the actual battle starts.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• You should now be able to join a faction.

• Hi Steve, I can't access the campaign menu. The error message says I haven't played the minimum 4 normal games.
  What am I doing wrong?
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Which particular option do you mean? Is it the Join a Faction?
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• try to in from android app. but Faction will be appointed randomize
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I can't join a faction. Doesn't give me an option and when i go into campaign menu it shows the last (old) campaign map.
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Yes to join a faction. I've never played a campaign so don't know the process.
  Thanks

• Cpt, I'm afraid that as per the discussion at http://www.stellarforces.com/dsr/forums/ForumPostingsPage.cls?topic=22828 , a player needs to have won 20 games in order to join the campaign. Only 7 to go though. :)
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• FoN, it looks like everyone who played in the last campaign is still in their same factions as I haven't reset them. To all: Shall I reset them all? Only Igoryan has joined a faction since I started it yesterday. I can always tweak sides once everyone has joined. There might be some players who have left SF but are still in a faction.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Ah right I'll try and squeeze enough in. Cheers Steve
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• i'm all for resetting
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• If some factions already have members then those not in a faction should join the ones that are empty or almost empty. That seems the easiest way to do it.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Just read what FoN wrote. I'm okay either way but let's see how many we have willing to play. Need at least 8. No good starting a campaign with anything below that number.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• let's calculate who will play.
  +1
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I reckon we should be able to make 8 or more. Apart from the names above Rabid, Henoh and HC are bound to join in.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I am in.
  All depends on SteveSmith. My opinion is that we are too selfish. Steve should get some "satisfaction"...
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm in! When do we start?
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Thanks Evil. :) We're up to 11 players, I think I'll have to re-jig some teams as they're currently a bit lob-sided.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• so is the campaign actually active? I still see the old campaign map.
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I hope not, the teams haven't been sorted out yet.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I see Igoryan joined Globex on Monday. Odd because there was already 4 in there, Now it has 5!
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The campaign hasn't started yet; I'm going to reset the map (and everything apart from faction members) once it starts.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Shall I push the button?
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The factions aren't even. Globex has five. Had three to begin with (Pete, Henoh and myself) but two others joined recently so now it's top heavy.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• What is the deadline for deploying in each game now Steve? It was 7 days but was rightly reduced but can't remember to what? For me it should be 3 days to speed up the campaign and stop it becoming the usual slog.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm ready though first time playing campaign so will likely be useful as a chocolate teapot
  Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Woah Steve! Hands off button. Nearly ready. We need people evenly distributed across factions first and the 3 day force cancel rule as Xeno mentioned before starting.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• It's 3 days before a campaign game can be force cancelled. I can re-adjust the faction players to make them more even. I think 2 players from Globex need to be moved, then it will be 3v3v3v2. Does anyone not want to be moved?
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I want to stay teamed with Xeno.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Ditto.
  
  I think the two latecomers to Globex should join another faction. Last in, first out.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve, lets move players by your decision but not start campaign. Then we will discuss.
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The quicker we move players out of Globex the sooner we start the Campaign. Xeno's suggestion is fair, if ok with those 2 players?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I've moved Henoh and Robs Raiders, hope that's okay with them. Let me know if/when you want to start.
  Posted by SteveSmith 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• i would rather stay in globex i was first in it so ...
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• and green is my lucky color also
  Posted by henoh 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve what is going to work for us is to have Xeno, me and Henoh only in Globex. No disrespect to the other players but it should be fair with balancing out with the other factions.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I prefer to have Igoryan as an opponent so I can play with and against him. I would find that interesting.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Well if you want it to be fair then we should wait for one more person to join, Marsec only has 2 players. Then again i'm ok to just have me and Rabid on the team. Its just a bit of fun after all.
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Well I thought the principle of last members to join the faction should be the first out if necessary.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• But the joining was based on the last campaign which was over a year ago. So lets just refresh the whole thing
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• FoN fair point and we may still get that extra player for Marsec. Steve asked us what we wanted and were just being honest. It's not like we're making a super unbeatable team. We just want a go at this player combination. Get this sorted and we could be playing right now.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I mean, after we all join then there still may need some jigging around with old timers and new members, but i never got the chance to join a new faction.
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I need to play.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Faffing about.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• We only want a 3 man team of our choosing why is that a problem?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• If it was a two week campaign then I wouldn't care who my team mates were. But a 2/3 month campaign, 5 months in the past, I want team mates I have played with before that I know I can trust, that won't disappear and will do their bit, and I get on well with, especially when it drags on and inevitably gets frustrating.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Now, don't get me wrong, if we had the numbers and the factions got expanded by a new wave of players, then I would readily accept them and play alongside them, okay, no problem, because there would still be that core of trusted players, that if they quit or didn't play often, wouldn't therefore make too much difference. But from scratch? No.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• That's how I feel too.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I think we should perhaps leave the campaign alone for a while. Perhaps do a short Lab 2v2 tournament and the players get picked out of a hat, metaphorically, unless Steve has a hat he wishes to use.
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• The point about the campaign is just about being fair, and i'm really not trying to be awkward. If you get to choose your team mates then so should everyone else surely? Don't get me wrong i'm perfectly happy playing with anyone even if they end up disappearing half way, so happy to get whoever i randomly get. But if you are insisting on choosing your team then everyone else should too. One rule for everyone, thats all.
  Posted by Forces of Nature 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I think it's unfair to have RABID on a campaign team because he's unbeatable. :-)
  Posted by RABID 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• ha-ha
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I'm out. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks. :)
  Posted by xeno 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• FoN no one said that other people couldn't organise their own teams or partners if they so wished. I took it that was what Steve was asking us ALL in the first place. So our response was here's our team choice. As to fairness I don't see a problem. Every Campaign has had one or more faction choosing players. So yes go and choose your own team FoN.
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I am only going to take part if my team is the 3 man Xeno, Henoh and me. is that a problem for anyone?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Steve, lets make a table with column of faction teams in which we can input our names:)
  Posted by igoryan 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Not to me
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Globex now has the team we orginally asked for. Thanks Steve. Before we start the Campaign is everyobe ok with their Faction teams?
  Posted by petermock 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• I promise to my metalix teammates that I will play with pattience, I will watch AP, hope not to forget to throw primed Granade. Only hope not to wait 7 days for turn...
  Posted by EvilDick 6 years ago [Login to reply]



• Good luck all, may the best team win. Steve, pls count me out of this one, i'm not up for the intensity of the cmpaign games for now. Cheers

• Okay FoN, you've been removed. Feel free to rejoin if/when you want. :)
