Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.Comment

8 Monoliths popped already! Does Planet-rating affect the chance for them perhaps?Comment

Good thing the Manifold Harmonics comes so late in the game...Comment

Does anyone know what causes the random faction portraits? Is it that the name of the image files that are used from the game are only loaded when the game is created, so when the CMN changes the factions the old pictures linger, or is it something else?Comment

So im the only one alone ?
It's to do with their order in the alpha.ini file, cata posted earlier what order they should be in for you to see everybody correctlyLearn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world.

Well I'm still alone, there's just what I would describe as sufficient evidence to suggest I'm at someone's doorstep.Originally posted by Lazerus

Yes, but it's probably due to the creation of the game. It's no problem to create a regular random-map PBEM game with SMAC and SMAX factions mixed. The identifiers for what graphic sets to be used for the factions are saved within the turn files. On a single player save file, you can even alter them any time (look for the labels like "CYBORG" or "DRONE" with a hex editor, they appear twice for each factions). The multiplayer PBEM files however are somehow encrypted. If I could figure out the encryption used (it doesn't seem to be a complex one), I probably could correct them.
Ah and before anyone worries: No, I definitely have no intent to cheat by reading our turn files
Anyway ... 2120 to SetrocComment

Could you post a pic of your starting loc too please, Laz? After all, with my probe teams and your research, we could make an excellent team.Comment

Funny, I always thought that probes eliminate your necessity to fraternize with a tech-faction.
Leon, the way this is going, I think our two factions need to engage into pre-emptive diplomatic negotiations pretty soon

Did I say probe teams? I meant, err, industry! Yes, I certainly have no probe teams to use. None whatsoever. So, what do you say, Laz?
Who mentioned probe teams anyway?Comment
