Hey man.. your d/l link doesn't seem to give me a file just a 3K non-zip.

I just downloaded it and got a 450+K file. But haven't given it a try yet.

Ok, tried it.
The zip and its vbrun5 accessory (didn't need it actually) sum up to slightly more than 1Mb. You should add the sizes in your d/l page.
Neatly organized, no special FX, but I like the look. I didn't even noticed many of the options in the .txt file.
Fir axis should sketch down a system of points to balance faction mods. I know that with an editable faction file this wouldn't be any use in enforcing balanced fations, but it could be used as a validation test, just as a balance certification, so that we can use our own in multiplay. Or can't we?

Oh, BTW
can't you use +++ (3level modifier) or more than 4 modifiers in the txt file?
Is that a SMAC limit or just your graphical interface design choice?

It's his design choice.
