Why did they decide to kill off Caretakers from the begining anyway?

well, could also maybe have the Peacekeepers and Spartans around Freshwater Sea, and the Caretakers on pholus ridge between the spartans and the cult...and then move the Usurpers at the Dunes area....
be easier if Franky and mart state where the faction they will write and sorta write for to start at...

Heh. Sorry. Been a while since I played Progenitors in SMACX. I tend to play with them off since they don't do anything. No super-alien invasions like in Spartan Chronicles, sadly.
well, we could have at least an annoying major invasion by the Usurpers
not sure what their reproduction rate is...but considering their militaristic nature and the constant warfare with the caretakers (in space somewhere, their the scout ships crashed or whatever on Chiron...)...they may be use to rapidly rebuilt their infrastructure and have cloning vats and etc to keep up manpower wise...

Mellian, I have an idea for that Progenitor thing.
Perhaps around MY 2300 or 2350, we could have Invasion 1, then maybe another invasion around 2500 or later.
Keeps things interesting.
I think the Progenitors use mass cloning. I remember reading it somewhere either in here AC fiction, or in SMAC-X game. Their only weakness is infrastructure. They need time to adapt their new technologies to their infrastructure, but once they do adapt, they're a powerhouse.Geniuses are ordinary people bestowed with the gift to see beyond common everyday perceptions.Comment

I didn't know that more were needed?Originally posted by Sovereign
I dunno about Trith. He seems to add a lot of comments, views, perpesectives, etc. I haven't seen him state that he would like to become an author.
I might observe this one though, just so I can find my feet, so to speak.
Not all, just the ones I have an opinion about...which is most of them I guess...Originally posted by obstructor
Trith usually just comments ALL threads related to SMAC.
Is that some kind of problem? I have to increase my post-count somehow so I don't feel so inadequate around the other ACDG goons.

*emerges from the bowels of the Hive*
Hmmm, well. If we are going by canon, it is generally assumed that Domai and the Free Drones are an offshoot faction of the Hive. Although not specifically stated anywhere AFAIK, everyone seems to agree that Domai comes from the Hive.
With this said, the Hive and Drones shouldn't be too far away from each other. Also, I think that the Hive is located near the Uranium Flats (canon). However, I cannot 100% prove this is the case. If we are going on canon, then these points should be taken into consideration.
Looking at how everything is shaping up, I think that maybe I should switch to being the author of the Believers. Quite frankly, the Hive makes a much better adversarial faction than the Believers. That, and since I would only be a "supplemental" author, I think that a full-time author would probably do a better job with them than I could.
So, if it is ok with everyone else and no one else objects.....I would like to join the Believer faction instead.

Is this related to our PBEM Franky? You took Believers there. Drones can also be from Morgan, or both.SMAC/X FAQ | Chiron Archives

Kind of.
I wanna get into the "Believer Mode". Hopefully something in the game will inspire me.

umm, maybe we should wait how fast we progress through the story years before planning when invasions happenOriginally posted by Sovereign

can still have conflicts with the Proginators, especially when humans still try to figure out who the heck they are and to communicate with them somehow...which will be another starting...no faction is able to communicate with them yet, and the how to should be a Planetary Council effort me thinks
