Battle Reviews

Excellent battle with technically terrific missions that retell a great story. The last two missions felt considerably more difficult than the first three on Medium; they were really punishing. Lots of fun to fly.


Great battle! A lot of fun missions with large scale battles. The mission to drive off the Iron Fist is long and tedious, my only complaint and it's a minor one.


PAR!

I really like the story of this battle (hence why I remasted it) and I like the chance to up the function of the battle from the original. I agree the final mission can be tough at higher difficulties of getting too many fighters targeting you at once but I am sure some will manage it.


Mostly very good, but the last mission alternated between a struggle of getting focused by too many enemy fighters at once at the beginning and then waiting forever at the end.

During the mission to drive off the Iron Fist, on several play throughs the reload craft exploded while docked to my ship.

Installation Instructions
--------------------------

Refer to https://wiki.emperorshammer.org/Installing_TFTC_Missions for guided instructions if needed.

1] Unless battle is being installed on a dedicated TFTC-R install for EH battles, create a backup of
   the following original files so that you will be able to restore them after uninstall.

\TFTC\fronttext.txt
\TFTC\MedalsDescriptions.txt
\TFTC\Frontres\Medals\Battle0_HD.dat
\TFTC\Frontres\Medals\LBattle0_HD.dat
\TFTC\Frontres\Medals\LBattle0.cbm
\TFTC\Frontres\Medals\MEDALS.txt
\TFTC\Resdata\Squad1.webm
\TFTC\Missions\Mission.lst

2] Copy the contents of both zip folders into the main TFTC directory, allow it to overwrite any files.

3] Play using the provided pilot file.

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 remaster XWA-TC 24: The History of the SSSD Sovereign.

This battle tells the story of how the flagship of the Emperor's Hammer came into the
possession of Grand Admiral Ronin.


Audio
-------------

This battle uses a mixture of human voices, both natural and using an AI voice changer
to alter my voice for the different roles.

Cast
------------
Narrator 			- Armon Ferro
Grand Admiral Ronin 		- Angel
Avenger Captain 		- Alun Tringad
Sate Pestage 			- Oldham

Sovereign Captain/Deck Officer 	- JKast
All other roles 		- Jagged Fell III
