    Guys, you're fighing over thing like are WE all dead on Earth! Might I remind you that nothing is final here, yet, and that everything could be mix 'n' matched . Now Paul, your ideas are excellent aswell but I do not quite find it plausible that the world governments, that were on a breach of a total catastrophe, would risk 'wasting' money onto sending another space ship to AC. Maybe they would but, by judging from today's model governments of the future, they probably would try to save themselves to a more cheaper soultion, Mars perhaps? Just a thought...

    Anyways, you asked me about faction names, maybe following, if you want my storyline, if not they need modification:

    The Seed of Unity (humans from AC)
    UNDECIDED NAME (robots)
    UNDECIDED NAME (terran mutants/new intelligent lifeforms)
    UNDECIDED NAME (terran humans)
    UNDECIDED NAME (terran humans)
    The Usurper Empire (progenitors)
    United Tribes of Zo’or (alien creatures similar to insects)

    Maybe "The Epsilon Matrix" for robots? Or a name like "Laila Yasmine" for the leader of the Seed?

    Edit: Anoying mestakes...

      You got me wrong, Paul

      Humanity in Earth is destroyed maybe(didn't read the book), but not Earth itself.

      I insist that you read that prelude file. I've never seen that prelude I'm speaking about in the game, guess this is when you lose transcending...


      Now that I agree with! Nuclear warfare has poluted the planet so bad that life cannot exist. Instead, the Earth is still there but humans live around the planet on an International Space Station (which was what I was saying).

        Hang on, lets say that the Earth is so polluted that life cannot exist on it, which is why the UNS Unity was sent, to find a new homeworld for humanity. Ok? Now, not all the humans would go some would stay behind and build an International Space Station in secrery from Governments cause there all at war with each other. The UN then send as many people as they can on board before humanity is wiped out. Then no life can exist on Earth cause of pollution but people are still around the planet on the ISS. Then your bits come in, the aliens (the Zo'or as you called them) have planted experiments around the galaxy and Earth was one of them and then, all your story follows on, and the people on board the ISS need to find somewhere else cause of the aliens, I dunno yet.
        If Mars was the easy option, why didn't the Unity go there? We know that the Mars has a temperature range of something like 242 C to -132 C in various areas, and Earth has 55 C to -40 something C. Humans on Mars would either cook or freeze like ice cubes on Mars but on Chiron, which is the next nearest habitable planet, the temperatures are ok. So that's why Mars is out-of-the-question.
        And I also thought of a wacky idea. Those robots you mentioned? What if they spring up in-way through the game as a result of AI rebellion of human use of tech? They would be an unplayable faction, but it would put a twist in the mist!

          I dunno if someone agree with me, but I think that probe teams shouldn't expose it's factions either on success or failure(even if lost). That spoils the "covert ops" part of the game, since they're not covert(you're exposed when your probe team is lost)

          I mean, enemies can see your probe team but can't tell it's YOUR probe team, unless they capture it with a combat unit or another probe team(THEN you should be exposed, because the enemy DID made something to discover who was).

          But when you stealthly approaches the enemy city and he can't see you until it's too late(i.e: the probe team attacked), he shouldn't be "rewarded" by my exposure if he didn't took any preventive measures to keep my probe teams off, even if the team fail...

          I mean this because when you try to take advantage of the Data Angels traits of probing, if you afford to land your probe unit in a enemy city, if you do anything else than infiltrating you risk being exposed and bring war to yourself(talking about single player transcend levels here).

          Sure, I agree that biological contamination should expose the faction who did it, but other than that I don't think it's either realistic nor fair.

          What do you think of it? After all, the means you have of protecting yourself from probe teams are many, it is just fair that your faction don't get exposed that easily and for free.



          Yes, I agree with this. Probe teams need to be alot better cause we know who a probe team belongs to when we see them and we can attack the emeny before they even have stolen anything! And one other thing:

          LONG LIVE THE SPARTANS!

            This is probably a Small Thing, but I would very much like to see the Weapon and Armor Modes enabled.
            The way it is now, it makes no difference at all which weapon you use against which armor -- if the armor has a higher rating, it will (most likely) defeat your weapon (depending on the modifying factors like morale, location, terrain, etc.).
            But, with the Modes (Projectile, Energy, Binary) enabled, you will have to be more careful what units you send out. You will also have to maintain more of a mixed army (combined arms), instead of just upgrading everything each time a higher-valued Weapon or Armor becomes available.

            Edit: Re Cybergod's reply which follows.
            Yes, the modes mean absolutely nothing in the current version. It was abandoned before the final release. I wonder if maybe the AI couldn't figure out how to take advantage of them?
            The thing to remember here is that there are various bonuses applied, but still no guarantee that opposite weapon/armor battles will come out one way all the time. All the other factors would, of course, also apply (morale, location, terrain, etc.). I would like to have to think a little more about which units I send out into a fight, instead of just sallying forth with my BFG's.

              I agree with you. This thing about the modes is only mentioned in the manual but it doesn't seem to have much (if any) effect in the game. I calculated the power ratings in a battle before and it was the same no matter what shield/weapon I used.

                Alien infantry gain +25% in both attack and defence in everything
                SP: Conqueror's Philosophy (only aliens can build this)


                NEW THINGS:


                Facilities:
                Crychamber - +1 research and +1 talent at this base, robots can'r build it (a facility where cryosleep is studied)

                Replika Sector - robot special fac, +1 growth and industry at this base (a sector for self-replication)


                SP:
                Cryosleep Paradigm - -2 drones everywhere plus cryochambers at each base, robots can't build it (an unorthodox way to control drones by letting them go to sleep and wake the up when necessary )

                Conqueror's Philosophy - gives the faction +25% attack to non-psi attacks, eliminates negative effects of Police State, Planned and Thought Control (if not previously by Cloning Vats), only aliens can build it (a new alien virtue that supports the belief of the species superiority over all)


                Weapons:

                Nano Cannon - attack of 15, gets +10% against projectile shields (weapon mainly uses nano-probes to penetrate enemy armour)


                Armour:

                Fractal Armour - defence of 4, +25% defence against infantry (defence consists of hard and rigid fractal organisms, attacker needs to be fast to penetrate this), there should be further development of this armour in later game, like the pulse or resonance armour in SMAX


                Abilities:

                Self-Replicator - unit repairs quickly and may do so to the full (uses nanotech to repair the unit both biologically and technically)


                Chassis (when taken over cannot be retro-engineered, or should it? to be discused):

                M-Drone - mutant special, infantry that can go through shellf water aswell, 3 movement, uses forests and fungus as roads (a genetically engineered mutant warrior)

                Ultrabot - robot special, air unit, 6 movement (or should it be 5?), doesn't need refuel, can capture bases, built in self replicator and dissoactive wave


                I think I should rest my brain now...
                *1 hour later *
                Ah, much better ! What do you guys think (WAY... above)?????

And when I turn my back to them, when they think I can't see them, they laugh at me. I can hear them laughing at me even over the noise of the wind."

                  Hey, Cyberdude... I think those too overpowered...

                  Aliens are true powerhouses by now, and you want to give'em +25% attack/defense bonus free w/ tech? Robots that can outgrow humans?

                  You are imabalancing the game by removing each factions weaknesses. Lie. NON-human factions. Humans will continue to have their disadvantages and'll wither with the alien and robot tech bonuses to attack, growth, etc...

                  Imbalancing techs or SP should be given only at the end of the game, as already is.

                  It remembers me.... another thing I missed in SMAC was a decent finale video and the CITY VIEWS!

                  I loved to see my grown-out cities landscape in Civ and Civ2! Maybe in SMAC2, hopefully... but Civ3 will come out way earlier I guess...

                    Now all this sounds cool! I agree with that SMAC2 should have tons and tons of new technologies because with Alien Crossfire you only get a few new ones which make very little difference, if any.

                    I have some techs as well but I'm still finalising everything:
                    One idea I want to expand upon is Chemical Emotions.
                    The belief that the brain is a real object. Hence, everything inside the brain is real too, then emotions are in the brain so emotions must be real things, i.e chemicals called 'hormones'? Then with this discovery, factions could create Confusion Bombs and drop them on cities that disable troops or probes teams as the whole city gets confused and may even fall to the other faction without even realising it! Hey, factions may even build Emotional weapons that convince troops from another faction to fight with them against another faction! this is all psychology stuff for my psychological faction I'm working on.
                    I like the idea of a mutant faction too. My Genetic faction could be mixed with that. Lets say that a human faction, on the second mission to Chiron believes the only way to surive on the planet is to mix his/her genes with the organisms on planet (I know it sounds like the transendence at the end of the game) but something goes wrong, or may right, and the human faction becomes mutated and is now regarded non-human, non-alien, non-robotic a mutant side!

                    If everyone came up with new techs and put them here then we'd have a new tech tree to mix into the existing tech tree in no time!

                      Paul Vella,

                      Do you really have to quote Cybergods entire post?
                      It's close to midnight and something evil's is lurking in the dark.

                        Hey, Cyberdude... I think those too overpowered...

                        Aliens are true powerhouses by now, and you want to give'em +25% attack/defense bonus free w/ tech? Robots that can outgrow humans?

                        You are imabalancing the game by removing each factions weaknesses. Lie. NON-human factions. Humans will continue to have their disadvantages and'll wither with the alien and robot tech bonuses to attack, growth, etc...

                        Imbalancing techs or SP should be given only at the end of the game, as already is.

                        It remembers me.... another thing I missed in SMAC was a decent finale video and the CITY VIEWS!

                        I loved to see my grown-out cities landscape in Civ and Civ2! Maybe in SMAC2, hopefully... but Civ3 will come out way earlier I guess...




                        Erm... I always say that everything is discussable . First of all I also added a human attack/defence bonus upon discovering Secrets of the Afterlife . I'd really like to see that tech, although I think that the +25% attack/defence bonus for aliens and humans is a bit too much. Maybe +10%? Your opinion?

                        Also why quote my whole post?

                          I got really bored a couple of days a go and played a game of CTP2 (once again trying to find something good about the game...)

                          I actually realised that a few features are good, reduce MM without making it seem like you are out of control. Also some concepts are quite good, but ruined by the lack of balance and testing. In general CTP2 is horrible, but I think the following features were done quite well.

                          Population: Cities grow by X people per year, rather than having a nutrient bar full up, then grow by 1. I can't see a problem with having cities grow in the CTP2 style, it is a lot more realistic after all.

                          City Radius: The expanding city radius, I must admit this is quite cool, and counters ICS quite well, however the horrid worker allocation (or lackof) meant that the expanding city radius frustated a bean counter such as myself. But if workers and specialists could be allocated in a sensible way, automatically and/or manually then expanding city radius would be cool.

                          "Overcrowding": Again this models real life, growth slows as a city becomes overcrowded, rather than hitting a hab-limit. Overcrowding rather than hablimit works well. For anyone who hasn't had the displeasure of playing CTP1 or 2 you might build an aqeduct which reduces overcrowding by 8, allowing more rapid population growth.

                          Drone Contol: CTP2 had happy/unhappy cities, but to be honest I could never work out what exactly the difference was. Also it had sliders for "workday" and "wages", setting a long workday made the people unhappy, but the balance was so non-existant that you could make everyone work all day for half a cent and minimum food, while being a democracy, and the people tolerate this on account of a couple of stone-age wonders. The pros of CTP2 happy system is:
                          Happiness penalty for distance from capital
                          No happiness penalty for large cities (counter for ICS)
                          Happiness penalty from going to war (never saw it though)
                          Happiness bonus for
                          The big con being:
                          Horrible balance. - basically it's not a bad system, just poorly balanced.

                          By removing unhappiness caused by population you remove a BIG chunk of MM, and also strike a blow against the ICS'ers. To be honest I don't enjoy the constant MM from a growing population.

                          Armies:
                          A must have, being able to group units reduces MM a lot. Also army combat is much more realistic and should also be included. There was nothing much wrong with CTP2's army system, but in a giant step backwards you couldn't have units in the same tile as your allies.

                          Public Works
                          Love it or hate it, personally moving around hoardes of formers is something I really enjoy doing. One big PIA about the CTP2 PW system is you can't build outside your territory, meaning that you can't connect two distance cities with a road, without first building another city in between. Considering that cities can grow to fill there entire borders this is rather annoying. Also you can't build bunkers in enemy territory, or roads to facilate quick movement of troops.
                          The pro is low MM, you don't need to bother building formers or moving them. A comprimise I may be able to live with is having a system where you say "Build a Borehole here" and your formers then gather and do it, personally I think formers should be kept, but automation should work a lot better and be customisable. So you can move formers manually (possibly grouped), put them on "auto terraform" or give terraforming tasks, but not to a specific former "Build a borehole here, build a road from A to B", and automated formers would then complete that task. And the possibilities of a global terraforming task such as "every city should have atleast one tile producing 2 nutrients, and as many forest tiles as population" or "a bunkers sensor combo should be built every 3 tiles around the border with the Mutants" In order to do that a powerfull scripting system would be required. PW is just too lacking, and too much like building facilities.

                          In short:
                          Realistic population model, expanding city radius
                          No unhappiness from large populations, less "discrete" unhappiness.
                          Armies
                          More powerfull former automation.

                          That's enough for now

                            Just gotta post this before I forget (again)...

                            If SMAC2 does not have the ability for all factions to upgrade obsolete units I will brutally beat someone to death with a spoon, erm, or something.

                            By upgrade I mean with one click of a mouse button or key you pay $$$'s and that obsolete unit turns into an up to date one.

                            The process of going to each base, interupting it's build schedule, inserting the new military unit, selecting the obsolete unit and disbanding it (making sure to change production and disband in the right order!!) is the most major PIA in Civ2 for me (suprise, CTP2 has no upgrade ability). And I'll get quite violent (or just rant) if a unit upgrade feature is not in SMAC2, or CIV3 for that matter. It's okay if you can only upgrade in bases, and it takes several turns to happen, just as long as it can be done. (bonus points for an "upgrade all units of this type" ability)

                              Umm... It already is in SMAC
                              Press "U" to bring up the Unit Workshop, locate the unit-type you want to upgrade in the bar at the bottom, click it, click the Upgrade button, and, voila! All of them are upgraded! (You do have to confirm or reject the upgrade depending on if you want to spend the money. If there is not a higher unit designed, it will tell you.) The only thing missing is the giant sucking sound as the cash drains out of your coffers
                              If you don't have enough money to do a blanket upgrade this way, you can upgrade each individual unit, no matter where it is on the map, by pressing Ctrl+U, again confirming or rejecting the upgrade.

                              The first example I described has caused some lively discussions here because it lets you upgrade and move the units in the same turn, whereas with the second option you can upgrade or move, not both, in one turn.

                                Ofcourse I know you can do it in SMAC. However some game developers seem to believe in "if it aint broken, break it". Just play CTP2
