Author Topic:   Sea-based Faction Idea

I had an idea for a new faction but I don't know how to implement it since I haven't studied customization having been too busy actually playing the game among other things. Anyway, the idea is a sea based faction - the Aqua something or others, who start off with the technology for sea colonies and their first base is a sea colony. Maybe when they crashed onto the planet it was into the sea and they quickly developed fins or something. Anyway, they prefer sea to land - glad we got that established. Someone come up with a more detailed history. Ok, so they get resource bonuses for sea colonies but are disadvantaged when it comes to land colonies. Perhaps they're the only faction that can build land-based buildings like recycling tanks. Beyond that I don't know. I haven't thought any further. It's nearly 3 in the morning here in New Zealand. Could anything like that be implemented as SMAC currently stands? Or will we have to wait for SMACX? Is there a forum for SMACX by the way, I haven't found it yet.

When I said perhaps they're the only faction that can build land-based buildings like recycling tanks I meant of course for sea colonies. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. It's now 3.15am, how much sense do you make at that time of the morning?

They are making a water-based faction for SMACX so I've heard. And no, there is no forum for SMACX

I think the water-based faction is a neat idea and you should go for it. (Download ACEdit, a very easy to use to tool for customizing factions, much easier than raw text modifications, you can find it somewhere in this Firaxis site.) If they have a water based faction in SMACX, so what? By the way where is a good place, if any, to find out about the coming expansion?
Good luck, looking forward to seeing your
new faction posted when you're done.
