Master of all he surveys

I just lost a long post so I'm very very mad. :( Ok: 1. Fix MCC make it so that it does what it is supposed to do 2. Allow us to change the "date" into "turns" (like in civ where you can have it display either 2000AD, turn 740 or even both, whatever you choose in the settings) 3. Make new anomalies appear, perhaps have half or a third of anomalies reswap in semi-random places. 4. Make more different things happen when you explore an anomaly. Thins co

This may be an odd question but why dosen't Stardock just bundle this mod with patches for the French version?

If I remember right the Humans and Alterans were originaly considered practicaly one species, there was even refference to them having practically the same DNA. Is this a retcon?

The beginning is a very delicate time. Know then that it is the year 2302. The Known Universe is ruled by the People's Democracy of Earth. The most precious knowledge in the galaxy are faster than light travel and stellar cartography both are greedily guarded by the monopolistic planet of Earth also known as the Ocean Planet. <span style="" lang="EN

People are going to flame me but Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri with updated AI would be the perfect gaming experience.

Civ4 is right now probably less demanding that GlaCiv2 Dark Avatar

[quote] That doesn't make sense. Something that amplifies gravity wold makes more sense. Or something that temporarily stops fusion reactions in the sun: a star goes super nova naturally because the nuke energy in the star becomes stronger than what the gravity of same star can hold it in. IE the star matter reaches escape Felicity for that star. result BOOM thus the best way to cause an unnatural su

[quote] something that temporarily stops fusion reactions in the sun it is the fusion reaction that is keeping the star from going black hole. thus if you stop the reaction you have a black hole. and although a black hole is more dangerous than a super nova. that is not what the weapon description states. [/quote] I said temporarily, like the sun destroyer weapon of Star Trek: Generations

This is one of the most interesting mods in a long time! I loved Alpha Centauri and I've been wishing for a Civ4 final frontier AC mod. These may be a few helpful suggestions: -You are right Good & Evil don't realy play a role in SMAC, it's not black and white, its about conflicitng ideologies. -What if you simulate Social Engineering and interactional ideological strife through events? Just make a new set of choices, and tie each decision to an ideology. It

I agree with Vinraith, its a very fun event for me. I realy can't understand why the devs who allow us to customize soo many parts of the game would not allow us to select the mega events that are to going to be allowed in our game. There is no reason not to do this. If they are afraid that it spoils the suprise for new players they should just make the game remeber which events the player has experienced and add them to the list of mega events that can be turned off or on.

The best idea, is a SMAC/Civ4 like government system, with bonuses for certain races if the run certain "civics" and have different tech requirements.

[quote]gravity nullifier. this gun induces a super nova by nullifing the glue(gravity) that holds the star together. [/quote] That dosen't make sense. Something that amplifies gravity wold makes more sense. Or something that temporarily stops fusion reactions in the sun: -null interaction beam -gravity modulator

[quote]Nothing TA-specific, but a little green "Earth-like" icon for those planets that are habitable by all without any colonization tech... just to make things consistent [/quote] There really isn't a good reason for not doing this even in DA, so I second this little suggestion.

What if the space reashearch was simply relayed to you're technological capital, where it would be subject to the same penalties and bonuses as normal RP?

[quote]Overemphasizing religion in GC2 would increase the risk of real world attention to Stardock from offended fanatics. It's just not worth it. [/quote] Made up religions offend peopla? :NOTSURE: Firaxis got away with it and they used [B]real religions[/B] and even allowed theocratic goverments and jihads in civ4. If we want to be uberpoliticaly correct, lets not have a religius system but a philosphical system, we already have a good vs. evil divide, different et

At least a minority of Humans will most certainly still be religius a century or two from now. The Torians were a pre-industrial society and were enslaved brutaly; that has to be a fertile ground for religion to develop. The Krox may have a uniqe view on religion, a buisness that keept the lower classes in line, and is now used to exploit off-worlders (it could drain credits from any planet with their religion and give them to the Krox goverment or maybe it could be spread via trade ro

[quote]instance build a shrine on the Main World that would increase morale, try to convert planets to your beliefs, lead holy wars, Jihad (the Krynn are kinda doing that already I think), wrath of God that would wipe entire systems, Armageddon clock (Win within X turns or the entire galaxy is destroyed) and why not summon deities to give certains civs the edge in battles..and ultimately add a Religious or Ideological Victory condition.[/quote] Actually it has a minor advantage, fictiti

[/quote] I want the Thalan and the Icorians to be more alien. ;) The Yor just need to be fleshed out. Plus have they thought about other robot races? I mean there are too many meatbags in the game right now! I wonder? There are ju

[quote] Yor pay taxes as energy. Shouldn't it be that they are provided with energy so they do work? And how many of us are actually able to produce their own energy on a large scale. [/quote] Ever played SMAC? For a future society energy IS money. You need to dispens energy credits to "buy" items, since it takes energy to build those items. It also takes energy to power any private veihcle you have, you're home computer, to grow you're f

[quote] I for one, don't believe that a rogue state could trigger a WW. it was a rogue state that triggered ww1 [/quote] Actually, it was a "terrorist" organisation ;) And even if Serbia was truly behind the assasination, it was definetly not a "rouge state", it had some very powerfull allies. If you are reffering to Austro-Hungary, they were quite powerful with an even stronger ally, perhaps like Japan or the UK today. Anyway WWI wa

Great story! I was suposed to be studying for like 20 min now, a quick look at the forums and of I go, or so I thought. You're story grabs me and dosen't let go... BTW An interesting sotry could perhaps be told from the Dregin, Korath or Yor perspective. I hope you write more stuff.
