the best way is to download acedit. It should still be on the apolyton web site. Or you can go into the text files in the directory. Just watch the format. Address: http://civilization.gamestats.com./ |

Role: Marxist Democracy (pursuing the ideals of communism) +1 Industry (Organised industrial infrastructure) -1 Planet (high industry, high pollution) -1 Police (power to the people) Planned economics do not cause inefficiency. Police state causes extra (x2) inefficiency (defeating the object) Tech: ? (haven't decided yet) Agenda: Planned economy Aversions: Free-market economy Any comments? Please, I would be interested.

korn, the Hive is already slightly communistic, and they are based on Mao's China, which is, I think, a slightly more Marxist-type Communism. So you should propably do a stalinist evil USSR type empire. Besides, that would be a REALLY interesting type to play. I would recommend industry and morale bonuses. |

dinomantrue marxism is for communism to take ahold in highly developed nations with where almost all of the workers are based in urban areaas, and marxism is all aabout producing items with "real" (hard or fixed) value, and the only value not being real is the wrokers labor. a marxist state would be a workers paradise because there is very little government, and everyperson has joint ownership of everything. economically for it to work there can be no expenditure on the military or other projects such as building a vast complex of impressive looking government/religious structures...the whole economy needs to be based around consumer goods. basically the people come first and eventually they will achieve an enlightened state where the government will whither and die. Marx even sid later on that a dictatorship of the proelitariot (the communist government that would guide people to enlightenment) could be established through elections and non-violent means in the more open minded nations of western europe and america. BTW have you seen karl marx's great grand daughter? she is completely and utterly hot!!! good old stalinism/USSR communism is about the farthest thing from marxism you can get...everybody is meaningless to the state, nothing more than a peice of material. instead of everybody owning the state, the state owns everybody. mass purges subdue the populace it spends a vast amount of it's GNP on military expenditures and things linked to national prestige (for example the the state funded olympic athletes) or at least that how i interpret them marxism should have huge war penalties, good probe good happiness something like -2 support talents for four citizens plus one probe no free market -1 economy i'll figure it out though and balance it better that's just a begining idea to go from stalanism free punishment sphere at everybase no free market -3 economy +2 industry +2 support no free market again it needs tweaking and i will balance it more later korn469

Hi. First time playing with this ACEdit thingie and was wondering what you all thought. Any comments, good or bad will be appreciated...good ones will be more appreciated of course.  Haven't finished the base names...tough thinking of 30+ base names. I'm not really too experienced at this game yet so I'm not sure if the advantages are too much or too little compared to the disadvantages. There wasn't room in the datalinks portion to add -1 commerce rate. I'm not exactly sure either how much of an impact -1 commerce has. Also, not exactly sure what Terraform costs halved are. I'm assuming it's similiar to the weather paradigm, but I didn't notice the rates any different when I played this faction. If the rates are halved that may be a little too much. Thank you all in advance. |

TgOhere are the advantages that you gave your faction. i learned a useful little tip in designing factions the other day. when you design a faction never exceed 6 social modifiers (economy, efficency, support, morale, police, growth, planet, probe, industry, research). that is the amount of modifiers that will will show up on your faction profile screen in the SE window, it also makes it easier for balancing. and where is what terraform does, it decreases the energy cost by half to raise/lower terrain it still takes exactly as long as it did before. +2 planet: means 50% chance of capturing mind worms +2 support: means support four units free from every base -3 economy: means -2 energy at every base base squares won't produce energy until you raise your economy or build a recycling tanks -2 police: cannot use military units as police centauri preserve free former +2 nutrients in fungus +25% fanatic attack bonus -1 commerece rate right now your factions seems a little on the strong side. the terraform bonus isn't really much of an advantage at all unless you plan to raise/lower the terrain a great deal. the only thing i strongly disagree with is +2 nutrients in a fungus square, reduce that to +1. and also change your social modifiers to 6 or less and and see what that does for balance korn469

korn, right now it's slightly overpowered. Add a -1 Planet to the mix and it should be good. I like the idea of bouncing them off the RoE! I always like making factions that REALLY hate each other and are both very aggressive. It's so much fun watching them waste their industry on blasting each other to peices. |

OK, this is my absolutely FAVORITE faction. I can't post the full file, because it's on my other computer, but I can still put their advantages and disadvantages. I play-tested it, and I found that it suits my playing style very well while still being balancedOK, here it is, the space-loving Millenial Federation +2 Industry: Used to outer-space heavy industry +1 Research: Open to new ideas +1 Efficiency: Efficiency nessescary in space -2 Police: Freedom-loving -1 Probe: Not used to diplomacy of any kind, including this kind +1 limit on base population: Used to crowded space colonies |

Tgo, that sounds kind of like a faction I made up, The Alien Collective. They are the race who created the Monoliths. Sheng-Ji-Yang and his band of fools landed right next to the only colony of The Collectives that survived the last time the planet achieved sentience. The Hive soon became part of the Collective, Yang changed his name to Kieng (meaning "Human" in the collective's language) and became The Collectives first Human Representor, doing diplomacy with the other factions and helping lead the Alien Collective. Also, the Alien Collective is pro-democracy politics, and it's kind of funny watching Yang, oops, Kieng, coplimenting you on a free society. Um, I think this is what I made them, but I forget:+1 Planet +1 Research +1 Morale -2 Economy +1 Nutrient and Minerals in Fungus squares One extra drone for each five citizens. |

i well i was playing around with creating factions and i decided that creating one stand alone factions is fun but every great faction needs a great enemy. so i took a faction i had already created and tweaked it some and created a completely new faction. now i have a free markt faction based on a dark reganesque america and i have it's arch nemesis the soviet union vision based on a dark vision of earth where the cold war doesn't end and a reaganesq america begins preperations to fight and win WW3 against a powerful Soviet union. Western europe is more or less subjugated by an increasingly militaristic american which then renames itself the Republic of Earth (RoE) the soviet union is justifiably afraid of an all out invasion and continues to arm itself for the inevitable final showdown with RoE forces. the UN with strong leadership from the neutral countries especially in the newly emerging republics from africa, and non Soviet asia, and support from south america (which is torn apart from RoE/USSR faceoff) takes it upon themselves to launch the Colonization effort of Alpha Centauri. years after the Unity is launched RoE and USSR begin a new space race to colonize Alpha Centauri. the RoE organizes an expeditionary force whose objective is to bring the colonist on Alpha Centauri under the power of the RoE. The USSR effort is more of a colonization effort but h ultimate plan is for Soviet forces to overrun Chiron. they launch on the eve of world war three on earth. and so the conflict of the cold war takes to the stars. if i ever come to grips with the scenario editor i am going to do a scenario with themi know they are a little powerful and i balanced them against each other than against the original factions all feedback is appreciated korn469

Korn, being Russian myself, I found a few mistakes in your Faction: 1) It's Moskva, not MoskOva. =) Well, actually I only found one, some of the city names I haven't even heard of before (but i suppos since I left when I was 7, that's to be expected=) )What really surprised me, was that you didn't have like, New Chernobyl as one of your cities. I have more ideas, however I too am curently making a communist faction so I will not give them away =P. I have, however, abandoned the Stalinistic approach, and am going for the more Cold War-ish thing. So i will tell you this: Stalin killed off a HUGE amount of peope during his tenure, BUT: very few people actually knew of that, and so a lot of them worked for him vbery happily and fearlessly. So for that reason, i believe, if you can, to give the troops a morale bonus somehow. It would also be interesting to have a 'Kill off population' button, but I don't think that's possible =). I'll post my commie faction later. |

Wanki turned away from a stalinist approach with the CSSR and turned more to a late seventies early eighties soviet union model as for the cities names i got most of them off a map and made up a few of them dinoman the RoE is pretty good at conquering other factions...it's kinda sporadic. one game it just got to be a force. and the CSSR expands expands expands and all of it's cities grow large except for the annoying fact that it alwasy uses deomacracy and that takes it's support down to negative three. but it still grows quickly korn469 |

OK, after Korn made his Terrible Duo (RoE and CSSR) I decided that I wanted to make some psycho hate-each other factions.
