Is PTW required? I never bought that.
Does it use fixed alliances? It wouldn't be right to have X-Com fighting multiple Earth nations.

Yes, you need PTW. OTOH I think Conquests will have all that PTW has, so if you get conquests I hope you can play this scenario without PTW.

Fixed alliances are announced for Conquests, but since it isn´t out my scenario don´t use them. I´m thinking of a special version when Conquest is released to take advantage of the new features.

I´l probably also release some additional bix files with a different setup. The standard invasion scn on a 140x140 big earth map is more similar to a normal empire building civ game, while I play around with another bix where you can command the human "counterstrike" against the evil aliens on Mars (with a special terrain set). This bix will be more for the warmongers amongst us

Well, you can play normal civ3 scenarios in PtW, so I'm sure you can play PtW scenarios in Conquests.

I followed the CFC thread, but I don't post there, so this is the first time I can give you moral support.

I really like the sci-fi on Earth concept. I love starting with the modern stuff and working forward. It's like you get all this cool stuff at the beginning, and then it just gets better.

Well, you do not have to wait much longer, I´ll make a public beta* release by the end of this week

*public beta because it is fully playable, most things are done, but some game play aspects could change depending on the feedback I get

Cool! This looks really good.

I love X-Com. What is the status of this project?

Wow! A 2 year, 9 month bump!

We may as well be discussing X-Com for Civ 4 now.

Sounds good... I'd better get my hands on Civ 4.

Same here but I'll need to get a PC that can run it first.
