Author Topic:   the story! Scenarios? How good?

I love the story to SMAC! It is so full that it creates such a cohessive reality! The reality of SMAC is so much more full than that of Civ2, Civ, or most any other stratagy game(RTS or Turn) out there!
This story just increases the 'just-one-more-turn' mindset, which is all to familiar to Sid's gams!
I am trying to figure out how to edit the icons like in Civ2, but I am not sure if it is possible.
Anyone have some input on how to edit the icons in SMAC or ideas on a good scenario for SMAC?

Firaxis have talked about releasing unit icons that are customiseable, and hopefully that will be in the next release dated this Friday, or maybe thereafter.
I also like the story. IMHO it adds a certain amount of empathy with the people on Planet. So whereas CIV II was retelling history, SMAC is in effect telling a real story.
