  • Alien Crossfire factions in regular edition

    I recently uninstalled Alien Crossfire because it was making my system erratic and interfering with my beloved SimCity (plus I was sick of the Progenitor-related technologies). Anyway, to provide myself with an alternative to the horror of Miriam, I modified the Alien Crossfire faction files to work in regular Alpha Centauri. Of course, that means that the "ability with tech" and "facility with tech" characteristics are lost, the Pirates are no longer aquatic, and the aliens are no longer alien . . . At any rate, I was wondering if there were any players of regular Alpha Centauri who wanted to experience the new factions. If so, I could put them up as an attachment or something.

    For those who know the new factions, here's (hopefully) all the things lost and changed:

    Drones: Instead of NODRONE, 1, the Drones now get an extra Talent at five citizens.

    Angels: No free Covert Ops Centers; otherwise unchanged.

    Cult: No Worm Police or free Brood Pits; otherwise unchanged.

    Consciousness: No Techsteal; otherwise unchanged.

    Pirates: No longer aquatic; no free Naval Yards/Marine Detachment; but they start with a Unity Gunship.

    Usurpers: No attack bonus; start with a Unity Scout Chopper rather than a Battle Ogre.

    Caretakers: No defense bonus; start with a mind worm unit.
    Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

    Yes please. I doubt you can post those here as an attachment though, so email them through to me. Message me for an address that will take large attachments.

    I'd love to try these new factions, especially since I like running SimCity too and I couldn't buy SMAX anyways, since it's gone, man. Can't find any 'free samples' of it either. Ah well.

      time ago i made a small 2-faction scenario for SMAC, featuring the caretakes and the pirates.
      it is desigend to give you an impression about the alien crossfire extension.
      you may find it useful for your project...

      scenario: H2Ostile for SMAC 4.0

          I'll send out the files as soon as I can. I don't currently have a zip application, so I'll have to find that first; don't worry, though, I won't forget you!

          Tres, I've been meaning to try some of your scenarios for a while. Thanks for reminding me!

            Bump from a REALLY long time ago!

            How would one put the CyCon in SMAC?

              I don't know if the 'tech steal' ability first appeared in SMAC or SMACX, but for the rest you can copy the faction's name as it is in the alpha.txt file, and the faction files in the root folder. Perhaps '+2 probe' for replacing 'tech steal' ability if SMAC does not support that?

                What are the .txt files for this faction? Thank you. Could anyone send me some of the graphics and the relevant text files? That would be great!

                  Can you post an email address here were I can send them to? Can't use the link to your mail since then automatically an emailaddress of mine is used that I don't use for gamestuff.
