Forgotten Chronicles : What is it?

Currently not under development, we are doing something else...

Forgotten Chronicles is an extremely ambitious mod/game. The developers (I, Snipawolf, and Chrispin) are going to the extremes to push the engine to its limits. Most units in the game have at least 2 weapons, and almost all units are affected by veterancy. We are also interested in the spring rewrite and the new engine.

Forgotten Chronicles : Name

The name is intertwined with the story. Forgotten Chronicles as in long lost records, of an extremely brutal and hellish war.

Forgotten Chronicles : Storyline

Let's start from the begining when the first space mission to go out of our solar system was launched in 2296. We could finally test out the use of wormholes to travel through space. The ship used in the mission carried over 100 men consisting of mostly scientists. The mission was succesful and the ship was carried out of our solar system. After the scientists eagerly identified and named many new planets, all communication with the ship was lost. The last report sent from the ship to Earth was a report of an attack over the planet Felmar II. The weaponry that attacked the ship was like nothing ever seen before. They were weapons of mass destruction. 5 years later and the next mission out of our solar system was launched. This time the ship carried weapons, but again, the ship lost communication and was obliterated over Felmar II. Felmar II was described to be a complete organic wasteland. It was very exciting to see the first life on another planet, but the planet was far beyond inhabitable by humans. The place was too rich in oxygen. Organisms overcrowded the planet. Felmar II was clearly a living giant. Scientists began to think that if you were to take a step on the planet, you would be eaten alive. Soon, many missions were sent out to observe the planet with great precautions. Scientists wondered how a such crude planet could have such powerful weaponry. They greatly under-estimated the aliens. Many missions turned into battles between the 2 races. The aliens had few actual fleets of ships. Most of the time creatures themselves would actually fly out into space. The aliens seemed very adaptable to their enviroment. The aliens obviously had technology beyond humans, but they rarely used it. Mission after mission was sent, humans began to forget why they were around the planet in the first place. They would send out missions with the main purpose of attacking Felmar II. Many citizens of Earth did not like these attack missions. The humans could not keep attacking without consequence though. Many lives were lost and soon to be more... many more. The whole out of solar system exploration act had formed a war. Aliens tracked ships back to Earth and attacked. Humans were devastated by alien attacks and no longer felt safe on their own planet. The humans had to start a war. They had no choice for the aliens would never stop attacking. The humans had about the technology equivelent to the aliens for the fact that the aliens were mostly simple organisms mixed with very few organisms with complex brains. The aliens had a history of galactic conquest. The aliens' ancients were very advanced and had the devastating weaponry that the aliens recovered over a thousand years later. So after many human lives were taken, the humans decided that the aliens and humans were even matched and now the humans needed an advantage to end this war. The aliens were even faster learners than humans and the humans needed faster learners now. Only artificial intelligence could solve this problem. Though, robot brains themselves could not be as smart as humans. The only solution to that was to implant actual human brains into the robots. The humans were willing to do whatever they needed to do in order to win the Fight for Humanity. And after the first AI robot with a human brain operating it was created. This soon turned into a disaster. The robots had free will and would sometimes malfuntion and kill humans. The robots could communicate much quicker than humans. Who knows what the robots could be plotting. The robots were succesful in exterminating much of the alien race by landing on the planet, but humans remained to have problems on Earth with the robots. The robots became more fiercer and would sometimes take humans and use their brains in order to build more of their own kind. The rage against the aliens and the robots continues. It seems as though all hope is lost for humans, or is it? It's all up to you, Commander. Lead your race to victory, or face bitter defeat.

(Story by Chrispin) (PS: The humans hadn't had war in an extremely long time, which is why weapons like machine guns and cannons are still up to date.)

Forgotten Chronicles: Release Date

Currently unknown, we are estimating 2008 for the finished product, maybe later.

Forgotten Chronicles: What we have

Nothing in game yet, I have a lot of models, well, 3 that can adapt well to be around 20. I need to get a commander and get him in game first, then I can try with other units.
