If you add techsteal to the academy, then they become a good momentum faction. Lots of units, pooring over enemy territory.

Perhaps change the -2 research and -1 effic to -2 economy and go aversion wealth? They might then look like this:

Police academy

#DATALINKS1
LEADER: {Commandant }
BACKGROUND: {}
AGENDA: {to set order}
TECH: {Centauri Ecology}

#DATALINKS2
+1 Planet
+3 POLICE: {Unquestioning obedience to authority)
+3 Support
-1 Growth
-2 Economy
Steal tech when conquering a base.

Aversion Wealth

NOt bad-- I kinda like it-- Demo/PLanned/ Knowledge with stints of green would seem to be the norm. I would haveto playtest to ascertain whether going FM would be worthwhile-- I'd have to look at what -2 Econ does but it is a serious hit to energy production and commerce . . . thats for sure

[Lazerus]

edit : scratch, had doubts bout faction posted

[Lazerus]

-2 Econ is what i have to put up with as the Hive -1 energy at all bases, really hurts early on forcing you to plant bases on rivers and scout out monoliths like crazy until you reach wealth.

Had exams. Emailed pacificans.txt to chaunk. Where we at now?

[Chaunk]

I still need a faction.txt from Darsnan.

Senethro, could you clarify something for me, do you want ai or not? The original post says not, but later on you've talked about ai in this game?

[Senethro]

I was hoping for a 5/6 player game so that AI would be unnecessary. As it stands, a map 52 by 104 will be very empty with 4 people so some AIs would be good. I'd like them to be not so boosted that they distort the game, or so easy that human players are racing to take their bases away from them.

[Lazerus]

You love those AI too much

[Senethro]

I loved your mum too much last night

[Lazerus]

all 2mins , i'm still in the queue for yours ....

[Senethro]

Damnit, why does the Hive always win

[GeoModder]

Just waiting til all is sorted out and my colony pods start their exploration of Planet.

[Senethro]

BTW, Kata is too busy to play so maybe make up a game without him. Shame, he had a interesting faction going with those free energy banks.

[Kataphraktoi]

I wasnt sure this one was starting in this millenium anyway

i was more making sure they could play easy then that i couldnt. i didnt want to slow the game down unnesisarily see.

I've come down with the flu, which has put a delay on this game. I'm away this weekend, so I'll do my best to get it out before then.

How many times do we have to tell you! The Acamedician's private offices are strictly off limits, and this means you, too!

Anyways, I am currently on jury duty. Should be done in a couple of days. I will then submit my Faction as well as start work on game #1. If anyone wants to mail me their Faction files then that'd help get this rolling.
