Is there actually a Single Player/Campaign storyline?

[Thrawn]

I backed the original PA years ago because I thought it would be like Total Annhiliation. You know, some missions are destroy everything, some are focused on sneaking past guards, some are to use a new superweapon (the big bertha!) that sort of thing. PA disappointed me because it seemed to be just "random everything, a bunch of missions that don't actually mean anything"

So what is Titans like? Does it have an actual plot/story? It doesn't need to be Blizzard-level storytelling. But I'd like some Cavedog-level storytelling.

I backed this game at kickstarter as well.. Still wishing they would add a single player story campaign in the future.

We rebalanced the Galactic War for TITANS, but it is still the main single player mode. There is not a scripted campaign added.

Wait so are there single player skirmish games for this game?

Yeah, there are skirmishes.

Woah radical okay I will wait for the price to go down.

One last question: Is there OFFLINE Single-player skirmish games? Or do I have to be connected to some server?

Thanks for the prompt reply, jables. Is there ever a plan for a scripted campaign in either the original PA or in this TITANS sequel, a la Total Annihilation style?

Would have to be a future expansion if we did one. Scripted campaigns are very expensive, and currently not in the scope for an update :(

You can play offline, but your system has to meet the "offline requirements" which are higher than normal.

Well, such is life. I will definitely keep my ears open in case something like that happens, as the TA single player brought me a lot of joy (as did the expansions that followed it) but I won't hold my breath. Thanks for the answers.

You bet. Sorry it wasn't better news.

If scripted campaigns are expensive then you are using a game engine from the 1980's, scripted campaigns are really easy to add with a modern game engine. But it still have to be planned from the beginning to keep voices the same and at a minimum cost, unless you do the voices yourself ofcourse.
Count me out, good luck with your game.
