I would like to join as a programmer. Can I get added to the list? Thanks!

Im not certain that chat is actually in existance...the whole project is in suspend mode till the SDK gets out, AFAIK

bioengineer: you'll be soon added to list. Currently I can't do it due to a strange problem.

Hey Y'all... I'm a big fan of the Civ series (I have all the official games with the exception of SMAX - although I have played it) and I would love to see a ressurrection of SMAC(X).

I also have the advantage that I'm currently in the first year of my uni course: BSc in Games Development and AI (One of the second year modules is actually all about modding games).

I'm also a programmer by trade, although I am able to do a bit of everything. My biggest skill would have to be 'trawlling': I can sift through several 1000 lines of uncommented code without getting lost or bored (don't ask why - I'm not even sure). I can help with documenting which bits do what in the source code. I can also help with graphics if need be, but I don't pretend to be artistic, so logos or graphical updates (updating existing skins - converting skin formats) are probably the best you'll get from me there. Although the GUI .thm files look easy enough to play with.

One point though: If you view SMAC(X) as a 'What happened next' (WHN) for CivII (as I do - I nearly always won with the space race), would C4:AC be a remake of that, or a WHN for CivIV?
I have noticed some minor differences in CivIV (for better or worse) that would let it make more sense to go with the latter idea.

Also my biggest complaint with the entire Civ series is that the games are too short... the one feature we should remove should be the idea that the game is over once it reaches a certain date (I know it can be switched off, but still, it's pointless. Most people I know tend to be at the stage where they would win some other way in only a few more turns).

Anyway, kudos to anyone who can understand all of that... My brain processes are weird enough without having to translate them...

My email addresses are all available on one IM or another (network in brackets):

Primary (Checked everyday, ONO):
stewart[at]evogame[dot]co[dot]uk (MSN)
stewart[dot]rice[at]btinternet[dot]com (MSN)(YIM)

Secondary (I still check them, just not as regularly).
mmcalahoun[at]hotmail[dot]com (MSN only - no important email)
stewart[dot]rice[at]gmail[dot]com (MSN - I think)
harikaridriver (AIM only - no email whatsoever)(Xfire)(Skype)

Just pick one and I'll probably answer eventually. Oh and there are others on my course that would be interested in helping.

Do we have an organization chart with who is doing what?

I am thinking of a To[ thread that has only one block an no replys. It is just edited on a regular basis.

I don't have any programming experience, but I'm willing to help as a playtester or do some conceptual work. Let me know what you need.

I have absolutely no computer skills, but I'd be glad to contribute to writing and general kicking-around of ideas.

We may take you up on the writing part for new techs, projects, etc.

Ideas are also needed so the best MOD posible is made.
