    "Many cycles have passed since the seeds of human knowledge have
    scattered across the face of the new world. So many human souls,
    unprepared for the new chapter in human history. Billions are dead
    on the old world, because of human incapacity to conserve pure
    knowledge and not twist it into some ville instrument of
    destruction. Only by pursuing unmeddled and conserved reseach can
    we survive and achieve wonders with this new chance on Chiron."

          ooo... aaah... thunk

          After I get my jaw wired, I'll have to give them a run in SMAC (don't have X). Always looking for more factions.
          BTW: Ukraine, semi-finalist.
          I am on a mission to see how much coffee it takes to actually achieve time travel.

            Thanks! BTW some of the faction characteristsics will not be implemented without SMAX! Oh well, therefore, I changed the following:

            FREEFAC, 9

            to

            RESEARCH, 2

            and here is part 1 of the faction (unicon.txt and unicon.pcx) since I can't attach the whole file (too big)...

            Enjoy people!

                Honoured to be the first to d/l the Unicom faction. Unfortunately, the first file doesn't seem to want to unzip (that's me trying to d/l it 3 times in a row). I got the 2nd file fine though.

                  OK, here is unicon.pcx, zipped...

                    And the revised unicon.txt...

                    Hope it works now!

                      got 'em

                      D/l'ed all. PKZip handled some errors (I don't know what they might have been), and everything extracted just fine. I like the diplomacy landscape. I have a game in progress, but will give this one a go next.
                      Thanks.

                        Huh, that's odd... I just used another unzip utility (WinAce) as prompted by gwillybj's comment and it works fine. I tried it again w/ WinZip and it's still no good! Sigh... well, I've got Unicom now and can't wait to try it!!!

                          Nice. Very nice.

                          I'll give it a try. Great icon and a good choice for a leader pic
