stargate mod?

[trekfan_2000]

Has anyone done a stargate mod for SMAC?

[TresXF]

not of my knowledge... u want to make one?

[Cybergod]

As far as I know, no one has YET made a mod based on Stargate. But I know that there is a faction based on the series on the Apolyton Smac site (files section). Haven't visited it for a LONG time though so I don't know if the file is still there...

[Bob Morane]

As long as i know, no one exists. But i already thought about making Stargate inspired faction files. Hey, wanna make the mod. I have a little experience with faction editing, so it could be easy to make the factions.
However, if u want something more advanced, like other units, i fear i'm not skilled enough, and i'm not sure it would be possible at all to change the units.
Anyway, let me know if you're interested (with Civ3 around, i fear interest in SMAC will fall )

[TresXF]

with Civ3 around, i fear interest in SMAC will fall

well, smac is still one of the few alternatives in SCIFI-TBS. therefore i doubt that much scifi-freaks will go after CIV3 (if they want to play a scifi game)

btw, a proof to this theory could be the approx. 100 visitors a day @ my website (content: stuff for smac)...

Well, I was thinking that some of the factions could be the Goa'uld, the Tok'ra, the Ashgard, either SG-1 or the SGC. I'm not sure what some of the other major powers were, but some of them could fill up the other faction slots. Maybe the Replicators as a faction?

[Bob Morane]

Well, could at least add the Tola (is the spelling right?), perhaps several Goa uld factions (Apophys, Socar (yaeh, i know he's dead now, but who said when this takes place), the Grand Masters), also could make more then one earth-faction (d'you see Meibourne as a faction leader?)
If u have SMACx, then the Goa uld should be made Aliens, this way they would never surrender and be excluded from council (they would fight each other BTW, wich is close to the situation in Stargate). If this is just faction editing u think, then it's an easy buisiness.
If u think about units-base facilities editing, then, it's another question.

[trekfan_2000]

Yeah, a mod/scenario could be done that's an all-out war between the different Goa'uld powers, perhaps with humans and other species tossed in the mix. Maybe make some new techs/change the default techs. Units could be done, but I have no idea how to do that. So, probably factions and techs, and a Ra(Goa'uld from the movie) faction is already available in the Apolyton/files/factions area.



(btw, I don't have SMACx, but i've been searching for it for the past several months, since I finally got a good computer for myself to use w/o other users, and could play more than I was before, though I haven't really been able to find it....... (if anyone know where I could find it real cheap.....))

Faction : SGC/SG1
Leader : General Hamond/Colonel O Niel (if we want to be accurate, it would be SCG with Hammond, but O Niel is cool)
+2 Police (military organisation)
+1 Morale (elite soldiers trying to defend earth)
-1 Research (mostly alien, more advenced techs)
Free command center every base.
No starting tech.
Comlinks with 1 or 2 other factions at start (contact made with the stargate)

Faction : Tok Ra
Leader : euh, who's the leader of the Tok Ra in fact?
+2 Probe (experience with infiltration and covert operations)
-1 Growth (difficulty to find hosts willing to receive a symbioth)
-1 Effic (dispersed secret bases)
Starting tech : planetary network
1 free probe teem at start
Discover any tech known by 3 infiltrated factions.

Any other ideas?
Do u think those factions could be good?
I'll keep thinking about other factions.

[trekfan_2000]

yeah, those sound like they could make great factions. Some of the Goa'uld factions could perhaps be Ra?, Apophis, Sokar, and maybe some other Goa'uld leaders. No idea who the actual leader of the Tok'Ra is, though . I'm not sure they've ever actually said.

[Bob Morane]

Yeah, i think we saw the Tok'Ra leader once, when he was about to meet the president (or was it a military leader) at SGC, and the Goa Uld tried to assassinate both by putting some sort of program in some poeple mind

Well, huh, this doesn't make things advence.

I had a look at stargate's official web site, but they have very few practical informations

Do you know an existing web site where we could find more relevant informations

[trekfan_2000]

I've found a website that has lengthy, detailed descriptions of each episode of stargate, which is at http://www.scifiguide.net/stargate/index.shtml

going from the description from the season four episode "Divide and Conquer", I guess that the Tok'Ra leader may be Supreme High Councilor Per'sus

so, possible Tok'Ra faction could be:
Faction : Tok'Ra
Leader : Supreme High Counsilor Per'sus
+2 Probe (experience with infiltration and covert operations)
-1 Growth (difficulty to find hosts willing to receive a symbioth)
-1 Effic (dispersed secret bases)
Starting tech : planetary network
1 free probe teem at start
Discover any tech known by 3 infiltrated factions.
