I am still new at this creating faction buisiness.
So I'd like to know how do you impose the delay of research penality ?
The believer don't gain any research point before the year 2110...
So how can you apply this rule to another faction ?
Thanx ...

Penny-- I don't think it's possible through Acedit. Have you looked at the faction file for the Believers? I modified mine, and I would have to reinstall the game to see it but I'm sure there is something written within it that would give an example how to impose such a penalty.

This is the original of the Believer. I still can't find but one reference to that penality and it's in the Datalink ...
So maybe it's just not possible to do ?
Could we ask the makers of SMAC ?
Anyway thanx for your help Smea !

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress.
Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow,
God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it
lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets
that were evil.
