Collecting custom factions
« on: January 24, 2013, 01:31:43 AM »
It'd be nice to collect up as many sources of custom factions as we can find. I'll try to keep this post updated with all that're found. Long term goal is to provide an easy all-in-one download of all factions as well as individual downloads, plus the wiki database which will be used for searching/checking things. Italic=I have them on my computer. Strikeout=On wiki.

Vanilla
Factions which should work fine in standard SMAC/X

You ain't kiddin'.  IIRC, my second Borg faction, the one with the busty bald alien lady, was a Frankenstein, patched together out of several of the artless Borg varieties out there.  -And really, only done because I'd made the leaderhead for the art challenge, and had a very different version of Borg bases left over from fixing up the previous one...

Funny because I'm no fan of TNG and after.  The Borg suck.

And you know what, Ete? NO ONE has gotten the Borg right yet.

They were thinking wrong. They were thinking balance, thinking maybe it would be used MP. Very wrong. The reason the Borg was such a popular villain back in the day was because they were over powered. The Borg, if it is to ever be cool needs to be treated like your Annihilators or the Exterminatus. BUT - much different philosophy than those guys.

Yeah, that is the ONLY thing right about that faction. And, supposedly, your version is or was considered the best Borg faction in the day. My only complaint in the art department is the bases. A planet-locked borg would not have "cube" bases. It would look Borg, but not "parody"-like as it is currently.

As far as the design, not what I would go with at ALL. When I am feeling more industrious, I will re-work this good idea but wrong implementation.
