Alternate original seven faction mod

Changed morgan's interest from 5% to 4%. Reduced Spartan's Hurry penalty from 125% to 110% and decreased the University hurry bonus from 75% to 90%.

Here is the download for the Believer bases. All you have to do is copy and overlay walls, if you are using GIMP, just copy the bases out to another window that has all layers deleted, do colour select on the purple and then you can copy that and place as you need.

I definitely like the alternate believer bases.  The only thing I noticed was that the water bases did not have any water under them. Is this part of your design?

My only not about the AltBeliever bases is that they look Roman Catholic rather than American evangelical, which is Miriam's backstory. Living in North Carolina I drive by churches every day that look eerily like Believer bases.

I just knew their was something slightly off about them but I could not put my finger on it. I agree that they do not fit her backstory. Regardless, I still think they look awesome.

So then in other words, like a cave or primitive rock shelter ?

On to a more serious matter, would giving the spartans 2 additional labs at each base instead of reducing thier hurry penalty?

My butha!

We don't know that much detail about Miriam's precise background - she's from Georgia and the bare cross does say protestant, but there could be a strong Episcopalian influence behind the church architecture.  Protestants with the resources sometimes build giant glass palaces and the like, even very fundamentalist, off the mainstream, protestants.  Not telling what Space Protestants might do.

Yeah, and mind its hard trying to find "purely American protestant" style buildings that fit a space age genre. I avoided giant statues of Christ and stuff like that and tried to give them a more protestant look: I based a lot of it on English churches and why I went for domes and such over Gothic.

But even so there is still some lingering Catholicism, but then again that's what happens when you have a single organization control the majority of a religion for so many at least 2 thousand years.

Like I said before, I still think the artwork is great. However, you never answered my question. Did you forget to add some water effects around the water bases or was it part of your design to leave it absent?

[JarlWolf]

There is water effects on the portion of it I meant: The little tower has some water breeching up on it.
The other structure is meant to be like that, it's suggested it goes underwater a bit. I can modify it and add some lines/teal base, but it may look odd.

Okay, I see now. . No need for any additions. I PMed BUncle to see if he knew of any place where I could get the original bases defenses.

Check the downloads section, I also suggest asking him for the link to the instructions on how to put in the walls. That or get him or someone to do it for you.

I like having little art jobs to do for people, but I like empowering them to take care of it for themselves even more - that's how I taught my elderly mother computers.  Back in a second with a link.

They still need more help, imo. Give them more research as well as Hurry to 110%

The things going through my head as I try to apply these base shields (in order):

1. After I try

2. If fails, I

3. Next I

4. Afterwards I get

5. Once I calm down I say and go hit my head against a

Lastly either I:
 
6a: suceed and go 

6b: or fail and say

I suspect it will end up at 6b.
