XWA-IW 5: Rion's Shadow Campaign: Ambassadors
Battle Information
Battle Reviews
Pretty fun... a bit too much downtime on occasion for my tastes, but certainly has some fun elements
Very nice battle with a very diverse set of missions.
Very nice battle. The plot thickens and there are all kinds of assignments in this battle. Flying the A-Wing isn't the best of you can do, but the capture and assault mission in the end was well developed. Good old, pure fun in this battle.
A much stronger offering than the previous battle; there were still too many inspection and minefield clearing missions for my tastes (one of either is too many), but the storyline is progressing nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion.
I just wish I didn't spend so much time in an A-Wing...
Well, I am still not sure who these Rion are or why we’re pretending to be Rebels establishing an Imperial presence in their space but by god we are really kicking their ass lately. I have to say, I am really liking these battles just for the sheer fun of them even though they do not quite make sense. The English is not great (and I was also under the impression that swear words were not allowed? Maybe I’m wrong?). A lot of the missions don’t make sense and of course every one of these battles has had the inevitable jump from point to useless point missions in at least one mission. I do not quite understand the point. But this battle (and all the Rion battles) definitely make up for it by being able to blow away tons of shieldless TIEs in X-wings or A-wings and even fly the occasional B-wing.
Brilliant mission, a little hard but it's a good mission
Technically all worked out as it should. Now I'm gonna be picky a bit: in mission 3, your squadron is constantly named 'Enforcer' in inflight messages and briefing text, but the FG's name actually is 'Intruder'. In mission three also, there are some story faults. For starters, you can already complete the 'simulate attack on SHU Sullust' abjective in region #2, by shooting at the shuttle after it enters the area, where no Rion forces see this happen. Then, after jumping into the region, I find it quite odd that all fighters that are supposed to be attacking the shuttle and the transports, ignore these and go straight for the enemy fighters that are over 8 clicks away! I for sure wouldn't fall for that one if I were a Rion Commander :-/ Then in mission 5, we seem to forget that we're acting to be Rebels, as we attack BOTH the Rion and Rebel forces. Hmmm...
Good battle. I liked the plot and every mission... Very nice use of Zero-G Worker.
One of the better battles......
kick arse mission!!!!! i loved it, and it was just so fun blowing stuff up!
Good battle :) Never really left waiting forever for something and lots of little extra things that make it fun. Nice work >=)
It's these missions that made me want to join the IW. Not only is this mission technically great, but it adds a few pieces of creativity and fun in for a good mix of excitement.
This is a very well thoughtout and layed-out battle. A huge applause to AD Striker for his accomplishment.
Too much fun creating this one... technically quite perfect (so I hope :P)

In mission 2 you can get back to your base by going back through sector alpha. But then the mission does not end. So you need to go through beta. I haven't tested, but it seems the same is true for the following missions.

Mission 3: Intruder squadron (labelled as such in-game) is referred to as Enforcer several times during the mission itself and in the briefing. 'Simulate attack on SHU Sullust' can be completed before reaching the Rion base, which contradicts the plot\\briefing. Objective to escape Rion forces shows as complete before the player has hypered out of the Rion HQ region. GPLTs at the Rion base fly around like powered ships chasing IW fighters.
