Description: Scenario Name: February CGN Challenge SMAC/ SMAX: SMAX Author: Darsnan Date of original posting: 1/28/04 Original host site: Civilization Gaming Network
Backdrop for the February Challenge: by MY 2473, several Factions have established themselves as the dominant forces in the Alpha Centauri solar system. Planet Busters, Drop Units, helicopters armed with Nerve Agent, and growing hordes of native lifeforms make it clear that, with a single spark, Planet could very well go the way of Earth, and erupt into devastating global warfare! In these most ominous of times, several minor factions discover the wreckage of a Progenitor interstellar spaceship on the farside of Nessus. In utmost secrecy the Factions agree to pool their meager resources and reverse-engineer the alien spaceship, hoping that by using the interstellar drive they can find a new home, free from the dominion of the dominant Factions on Planet. After much discussion, the Faction leaders agree that their destination is to be an Eden-like planet labeled on the salvaged Progenitor star charts simply as “Colony: Failed”. By MY 2492, 1,000 years after Columbus made his historic voyage, the spaceship Santa Maria is ready, and the hyperjump is made to the Beta Lyrae solar system. However, upon arriving in-system, the spaceships sensors indicate that the planet chosen for colonization is not the pristine Garden of Eden listed in the Progenitor database, but an eroded wasteland, showing only brief glimpses of what this planet must once have been like. Discouraged by this turn of events, a council is called, and it is agreed that another promising solar system is to be chosen for the purpose of colonization. Just as the Progenitor-cloned hyperdrive is being activated, a strange alien spaceship materializes in the space above you, attacking your spaceship and sending it into a decaying orbit around the planet below, known as Beta Prime. Now, armed only with what you could hastily salvage from the spaceship, you must begin anew on the former Progenitor colony planet of Beta Prime!
In this Scenario you will play the Pirates, and the objective, as always, is conquest, with the Challenge winner at the end of February being the person who can achieve this in the least amount of turns! Simply unzip the attached file into your Scenarios folder, and then play the game as a Scenario. Also, since this game is occuring in a different solar system than Alpha Centauri, there are no mindworms, IoD's, Locusts, or the like. Instead I have built a new 8th Faction which I hope you will find "entertaining". I have developped a complete storyline to accompany this new world of Beta Prime, and will start revealling it as reports start trickling back into this thread of what you the players are up against/ have experienced in this Challenge. Also, to spur feedback on this Challenge, I will award 50 RM's to the first person posting something new as far as units, AI strategies, etc., into this thread. If you can post a picture of the event/ unit/ etc. , then that would be even better! Finally, many thanx to my Beta Tester, Flubber, whose colorful vocabulary in describing his reactions to my creations I have been enjoying the past several weeks!
Welcome, my friends, to Beta Lyrae......
