A spontaneous community faction project.

Okay fine, I'll do it tonight or tomorrow. I suppose I can update my LE/Acolyte cities while I'm at it.

The version of the logo Branson would be going with probably if he went space would be the blue eye Virgin Galactic logo:

[Buster's Uncle]

That's what I used.  I was going with a sort of substitute Morgan thing with the colors.  Him and Morgan would understand each other, I think.

[Davyboy]

The colours are fine and there is a distinctive difference between Branson's troopers and Marr's, apart from the fact that one uses alien art.
From a first person pov playing the Virgin faction it's no problem at all, but when you see those mustard coloured flags on Branson your ally wandering around your map, it keeps you, well, alert.

[Kilkakon]

Here's the fixed walls. Took an hour, but yay, now everybody can have medium sized walls! *goes and quickly throws them on all the LE factions, woo they look awesome*

Will have to update the Acolyte download on my site soon...

And now for my next trick, attaching the actual file.

[Davyboy]

Thanks Kil, that looks MUCH nicer and well proportioned. 

[Kilkakon]

No problem! I hope that we can finish this off soon, as the first PCX is pretty much done, not sure about the others or the TXT...

[Davyboy]

Putting final tests / polish on the text file. There's only one way to test it and it takes time.

I'm feeling that he should have a prohibition against Free Market but that just comes out wrong, no commercial type is anti FM.
Since he had Explore, Discover, Build and Conquer I'm taking Discover 'away' as a modus operandi . Comments welcome.

[Buster's Uncle]

Anything I throw together as quickly as my first draft of the .pcx isn't my very best work - good job with the tweeks.

[Kilkakon]

Thank you. I hope that you boys can sort out the rest of them (you were partway through doing so).

Good luck on the AI Davy.

Good luck on the AI Davy.

(Phew!)

I changed a munificent one character from 1 to 0 effectively changing .... Branson, M, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, to ....Branson, M, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1,

effectively taking away the AI proclivity towards 'power'. Oh that's done it I think; only played a few games to about 2190 ish and that boy seems to get going like Morgan never did.
He'll probably fall out with all of the Female facs and Zacky won't like Wealth either, and he's probably susceptible to an early rush, so that'll be any of the above mentioned darlings.

Posting the file later from the other machine as an edit to this post.

BUncle and Kilkakon's Branson.pcx, Branson2.pcx which I extracted from Branson3.pcx after I had logo-ed it with Kil's main logo and the gold/bronze monument things that I knocked out.

Providing that this turns out to be the last version of the graphics, I'm going to need to edit a notice into my first posting of branson.pcx that everything up to your post is a draft.

...I'm still rather interested in Green's(?) concept of a 'Space Race Players' faction set/conversion/scenario...

Funnily enough, and it wasn't presumptuous, on my LinBox the first three are living in a folder "Branson-RC1" -- but that was just because I needed to tidy up and thought we were getting somewhere near the finale for Mr Branson.

I like Green's idea too. Partly for that reason Dickie lands with an HQ, a Scout and a pod. Nothing else. No tech.
The bit of story I was writing might not work for Green's idea but , in a nutshell, Branson - and any others - have to hotfoot it from Terra after a nano-disaster circa 2037 (hence landing with almost zilch).

Apart from that -- who else should land contemporaneously with B?
Suggestions welcome.......

One random thought...

Centuari Ecology is actually so 1999.

We have an actual name for what that tech is and what that tech actually does.

In Situ Resource Utilization is what the scientists are calling it.
