Lost Eden is a total conversion for Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire. It completely transforms the game from its original, futuristic environment to a strange fantasy world filled with all sorts of unusual characters. This is the alpha version.

As a splinder group of the Morgan faction, the Data Angels live in a shadow of intrigue, conspiracy, and covert operations, working to undermine the established goverments of the Planet. Although they can grow into a formidable military power if need be, the Angels prefer the use of their highly skilled probe teams.

The Cybernetic Consciousness evolved from a rogue algorithm in the Unity computers, and offers exceptional intellectual powers to any human who acts as a host for subroutine of the Consciousness.

They possess exception research abilities, and arrive on Planet with knowledge of Polymorphic Software.

Humans discover this tech by studying alien ruins, artifacts, or prisoners.
