Battle Reviews

This is a great battle and looks really good in TFTC! The story fits well into the SW universe. You even get better and better ships each mission!
I can recommend this battle to anyone


I enjoyed this battle and it as a conversion. The original battle was average and TFTC conversion takes that, fixes all the bugs and then makes it look more special. Looks fantastic in parts and it has a very classic vibe. Really worth a play.


PAR!

For months I resisted the idea of having others help do the audio for my battles, but when I heard HOW BAD the AI Darth Vader voices were and how they dragged down this battle I finally gave in a reached out for help, and I am SO glad I did. The Vader voice from DigitalViking is 1,000% better than the AI's attempt and it caused me to switch all "spoken" lines to human generated ones, rather than Text-To-Speech. You can check the readme to see who all contributed voices to this battle and I am deeply grateful to each and everyone of them. I now cannot go back to making battles with Text-To-Speech for the dialogue as it sounds so much better with human performances, even my bad attempts at acting.

As for the missions themselves, I chose to remaster this battle as I really enjoyed the story and combat of the missions and I hope you do to.

Please Post A Review and also check out the battle images in the combat simulator if you want.

Introduction
-------------
Some of my favorite stories in the XWA database were written and made by RogueWing. He
graciously has given me permission to remaster his battles into TFTC and I have chosen
to start with XWA-TC 14: The History of the ISD Immortal.

This battle tells the story of ISD Immortal from before Episode IV until its
incorporation into the Emperor’s Hammer Fleet after Episode VI.

Below is the text from RogueWing's original Readme for the battle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All effort has been made to make this mission as historically accurate as possible.
That means that several missions will require you to fly and unshielded Tie Fighter
in the missions. As a result, you should gain an appreciation of how the early fighter
pilots flew their missions.

Mission 1-While Lord Vader is meeting with the Emperor, you must patrol the area around
the secret shipyard and make sure no one stumbles across it.

Mission2-The Immortal has joined up with the ISD Devastator to capture a corvette
carrying stolen plans aboard it. While the Devastator makes the capture, Immortal pilots
will fly against any reinforcements.

Mission3- Lord Vader has dispatched the Immortal to the planet of Toprawa to make an
example of the rebel sympathizers there. You must reduce the planet to rubble.

Mission4-When the Immortal is called to Endor, its hyperdrive is sabotaged. Be prepared
for an enemy attack.

Mission 5-The crippled Immortal is creeping through rebel space on its sub-light
engines. Fly cover around it and make sure the enemy doesn't find it.
