*happy dance* looking forward to setting this up... I e-mailed you googlie with a few other questions.

Just a note to all:

You don't need to add the aquatic faction names to your alphax.txt file if you don't want to mess with that - the game will play so long as the aquatic factions and their graphics files are resident in your smax folder.

If you do want to start your own SP (or MP) game using those factions, though, you will need to add them to the #CUSTOMFACTIONS list which will then let them appear in the drop down menu of factions when choosing which factions you want in your games. A maximum of eight custom factions can be added thusly to the game chocies (but there is no limitation on the # factions you have in your smac/x folder - I have around fifty - the original 14, the 13 aquatics, and some 25 clone factions for various games I've CMN'd

Googlie,

Can you not mail him through the 'Poly mail link?

My e-mail address is angusniven@hotmial.com

I've amended the first post with current faction choices and e-mail addresses

Factions playtest well, and the map looks reasonable - I'll get it together in the next couple of days

Many thanks Googlie... map looks reasonable? So, will there actually be land on this map, or not?

[Googlie]

Oh yeah - need somewhere to put the landmarks (and plenty of shelf squares for the minerals, and fungus, etc etc)

[FlameFlash]

So, this'll be the five humans and two aliens? I like.

[Googlie]

This game has now started. 2111 has been sent to FlameFlash (nexessary to avoid the aliens landing twice)
