Planet Cult problems

[Ouro_827]

For some reason, whenever I start a game with the Cult as my opponent, I end up playing with only six factions... the Cult never shows up... never eliminated either... I can play as them fine... any ideas?

It's possible they'll only appear MY 2106 or so.

[Dis]

they shouldn't show up in 2106. Your game is screwed

have you done any editing of the faction files in the directory?

I thought Cha Dawn turned up in the fungus in 2106, with a couple of pods, ready to do... not much.

Mine has the same problem, they aren't considered an alien faction, but they show up with them some times, especialy if I'm playing with only one alien.

They turn up in turn 2106 in my games.

I thought you couldn't play with one alien? That's what the rules say I believe. I have never tried.

The manual is wrong on this point. You can easily set up a game with only one alien in it

yea, that happens to me all the time, the pirate save I posted in the other thread has just the caretakers in it for instance.

What the game does is if there is one alien faction from randoming or otherwise and another random faction, it will be the other alien one.

I believe that it was intentional to make the Cult appear late in the game, as it is more realistic. In fact, to note that both aliens have to be in the same game, there is a download somewhere that makes the same thing true for the relationships between the gaians and cult, UoP and Cyborgs, and Morgan and the Angels, although I can't seem to find it at this moment...
