I don't have a crazy amount of freefacs and techs in the factions I have made. It'd be a bit more effort than just loading them into SMAX as the balance of the two games is twice different (different tech trees and different social engineering) but I am happy to do it if it means somebody will be happy. :) That's what it is all about really.
Are you going to use your technological edge to grind the others into submission? :O
And I am very tempted to challenge somebody to a game of LE... defeat Kilkakon? Haha
And I am very tempted to challenge somebody to a game of LE... defeat Kilkakon? Haha
Easy way to do this is to copy/paste your SMAX directory and then extract all the files into the new game root. :)
+1 POLICE: Citizens enjoy many civil rights
-1 POLICE: Freedom loving
In the end I did a complete PP reinstall, patched it to V2 Firaxis, put the Unofficial game engines over that, copied GogglyBooglies version Helpfiles for what most consider is the most balanced SMACX (although I would disagree insofar as to state that new exploits now exist with air units)Wow thanks. :D I am a legend apparently now! :O You told me so! Glad things went smoothly.
Then, in the Firaxis directory, I gave you your 15kb of fame by creating 'Kilkakon's Lost Eden', copied the contents of the "standard" gameroot there and unarched your mod overwriting as necessary. Finally making a shortcut to terranx.exe and labelling that as 'Lost Eden' on the desktop.
Pretty much amounts to the same thing - just had to set up a few preferences for each installation.
So your Conversion is in company of such classics as "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri PP", "Sid Meier's Civilization IV" and "Sid Meier's Pirates!"......
I've got one gripe about your datalinks for Caretaker Edge though:--The idea of Rakis' community is that it's the only true quasi-democractic faction there, so people are more relaxed and don't need as many police hitting them on the head to be good.Quote+1 POLICE: Citizens enjoy many civil rights
That just sounds plain wrong. See if you can convince me otherwise.
Compare with:--Quote-1 POLICE: Freedom loving
Other than that - I'm playing Toad and am up to about turn 130. Nothing much of note to report.Okay good luck! :D Hope it's being fun.
+1 POLICE: Citizens enjoy many civil rightsPerhaps it needs rephrasing? How about:
Perhaps it needs rephrasing?
Nah by all means, dig into it. :) I might suggest you play all the quotes for Caretaker Edge to get a bit more of a feel for her character and by extension her faction if you are going to enjoy it more.
I think most of the factions are fascist though. XD It's not special enough.
Have you reached tier 3 weapons yet? Rolling out the Clockwork Tanks haha? :D
