Would anyone be interested in a Master of Magic conversion into the world of SMAC?

I could use some ideas and feedback, but I already have the game on disc so I have all the multimedia I need right there. Just anxiously waiting/hoping that Firaxis will create a program to allow us players to overwrite standard unit graphics with 2d ones.

Here's what all the factions would be:

Believers - White
PKs - Arcane
Gaians - Green
Spartans - Black
Hive - Blue
Morgan - Red
UoP - Arcane/White mix

I'm not sure how I'd turn those colors into factions. I do plan on creating segregated tech trees so there would be plenty of diversity.

To add some extra flavor I think I'll make certain terrain enhancements faction-specific.

Say, Boreholes could be Volcanoes and only Red could have them.

And Green could be the only color to raise/lower terrain.

Perhaps White could be the only color to use Echeleon Mirrors. Similar to the Prosperity spell from MoM.
