The Coming Storm: Menders' Game [ID 69684] [Herioc]

[Ankylosaur]

So after a few years hiatus, I started working on an update to a story I pulled down ages ago: 

 

 

I always liked the bones of it, but there were a few things lacking to me. 

1. I wanted to use "space" maps and aliens, but that meant two very similar asteroids, and no spaceships at the time.
2. I wanted to use both Shivan types, but that meant some level changes, and the reasons were thin.
3. I wanted to use "new stuff," like maps, and powers, and those are not new anymore - e.g. a Khalisti office is hardly novel and was a bit shoehorned in fit the space alien theme. 
4. I did not give great motivation to the player - some of the missions were sort of handed out, without a player really discovering the reason to pursue the next one on their own.
5. I tried to follow the AMA Lore too much, even though it did not work super well and the finale kind of sprung a bit out of nowhere
6. I later realized, in any telling of the Battalion, Dillo should probably play a role. 

 

So, now, I give you a massively rebuilt arc, much on the original theme, but bigger, better (I hope), and more powerful than before.

The Coming Storm: Menders' Game. Arc ID 69684

I am sure there are some typos in there, there always are, and I will be running through it all several more times to try to find them all while it is still marked Looking for Feedback. And I am! So please feel free to share feedback, and please be generous with stars in its early days. I will try to incorporate all the feedback I receive to make it the best it can be.

Going to put in some design notes here soon - spoilers though, and it all kind of presumes you played it before or read the thread linked above..
