SMAC demo game factions/smac or smax

[DeathByTheSword]

hi, i do not know if this is wise. but here is a poll where we can vote on the factions and if we want smax or smac. it is not officially from the demo game (hell there isnt anything official anyway) but this can maybe give us a headup.

You could've made a multiple choice-poll... and include on the same poll whether we should play SMAC or SMAX (I say SMAC)

on the faction's I'd accept Univ/Peacek/Gaians/Morgans.

[AdamTG02]

I voted for Peacekeepers for 3 reasons:

-- Ideologically compatible with Democracy

-- My favorite faction, ideology-wise

-- Well-rounded and able to succeed with a wide variety of strategies.

sorry for the not multiple part (i cant change it no more. moderator???) i taught smac or smax choise we would see from the poll......but again sorry

[Anodyne]

Same here, Adam.

But it could be a nice project working on a custom faction, too. Though it might get too complicated with 20 people screwing over everything...

[DeathByTheSword]

if we go the ideology-way i have to say peacekeepers too. but if we want to have a strong faction i say university

[Anodyne]

Well, it all depends on game tactics. I've won many games with PK's. Although I'll agree that they are perhaps among the weaker ones. But this all should just make the succession game more exciting.

[Maniac]

I would suggest a custom faction with this dude as our faction leader. My second preference is the PKs as well.

[AdamTG02]

It depends a lot on what difficulty level we select -- Peacekeepers' extra Talent is very useful on high difficulties where drones are a major problem. University, on the other hand, is one of the best factions on lower difficulties, where their extra drones are easily dealt with.

That's what I think, at least.

A suggestion:

One talent for every four citizens, free network nodes, - Eff and - Pol. Perhaps we would need another negative as it seems a quite powerful faction.

[Kassiopeia]

Peacekeepers is well-balanced, it can do lots; both builder and momentum. So my vote goes for them. It's as average as it gets.

[Andemagne]

voted for Spartan Federation, but Peacekeepers will do also.

i am leaning over too the pk`s right now. but a custom one would be cooler. but not every body can see the save from the 'president' or what ever (or are the factions included in the save?)

[Maniac]

I think everyone can access the save file, but for the sake of fun and surprise it isn't allowed to play further yourself.
