You don't get a message or a pat on the back for doing what your told, instead you might get the 'The Terran Government thanks you for your assistance. Your input in these war missions is hardly noticeable or even recognised. If you're the Argons, it will be the Terrans. If you're the Terrans, it will be the Argons. If you go to the mentioned system, you'll find the enemies' fleets' make-up will be random each time.

You get a message that is in reality a general update message and not a message to you personally, stating to go to such and such a system to help out. The war missions if anything, seem random, and are hardly missions. This is where Albion Prelude starts showing its true colours, and not in a good way. It soon became apparent that these messages, after getting 2 more, were part of the so called war missions that you get. Then I get another message, stating that their under attack in Heretics End, blah blah. I guessed wrong, and ended up in a dead-end system. Thinking that this was part of the plot, I slowly, but surely, in my rather big but slow ship, made my way towards the direction where I roughly guessed from memory that Circle of Labour was. Before I could even get my bearings, I get a com message from a Terran military commander stating that their under attack in Circle of Labour, and I should make my way over there. I found myself in Venus with 200k credits and a fairly decent M6. The game starts also seem to be biased towards the Argons, and doesn't include the Split nor the Paranid, or even a normal Boron start for that matter unless you fancy the Dead Is Dead mode which is the Boron start.Īfter looking through all these options, and not having a clue which one might have the plot, but assuming that the Terrans will have their own main plot, I started up the Terran Commander game. This is rather frustrating as you could be left wandering around space not having a clue what to do. Unfortunately, as I soon found out, the game fails to tell you that the plot is only enabled via the Argon Peacekeeper start and the Humble Merchant start (only after ranking up with the Argon). If you're familiar at all with the previous games, you'll know that these give you a different viewpoint on your starting, and in some cases have a different take on the plot. When you load up the game and select new game, you're presented with the option of 8 starting points. Essentially AQC is gone now, replaced by this graphic setting. This is indeed a very welcome feature to have, giving you much more control over how far you see things than the rather obscure AQC (Automatic Quality Control) you had in the previous games. You can now set your visual distance from low all the way to very high. Well, for starters, there's a new option now in the graphics settings.
So what does Albion Prelude bring to the table?
#Best x3 terran conflict xtended mods
Mods you may have enjoyed in TC may not work, with the majority needing further testing. Sadly, this also means that the bonus content you got with TC doesn't apply in AP, as well as many of the bonus plots/elements including the HUB plot. X3AP is standalone in the fact that you can't bring over your save games from Terran Conflict, meaning all that progress you made will count for nothing in AP. When you hear the word 'standalone' you would imagine that the game wouldn't require the original X3TC game, but it does. By Xydonus | Review Date: DecemSo what is Albion Prelude, exactly? Well Albion Prelude is a standalone add-on to the base game that is X3 Terran Conflict.
