Halal SMAC factions

http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=157

Alternate art for SMAC factions, with assorted designs in place of depictions of faction leaders.



-To make the game available to more people...

Needless to say, this is also kosher if you take graven images that seriously.  SMACX is a great game, and this is made in the spirit of brotherhood and removing barriers.  Enjoy.

You might also want to consider changing some of the Believers' base names for that...

Not a bad idea at all - but this is just an art package...

Those who take the admonition in scripture not to truck with graven images very seriously.  We wouldn't want anyone to miss out on SMACX because they're religious and faction leaders are pictured.  It wasn't my idea, but the idea is one of which I approve.

so you're saying me the game is banned in certain countries because there are pictures of humans ?

I'm not aware of it being banned anywhere, but Islam takes the graven images thing VERY seriously.  [shrugs]

Technological advance is an inherently iterative process. One does not simply take sand from the beach and produce a Dataprobe. We use crude tools to fashion better tools, and then our better tools to fashion more precise tools, and so on. Each minor refinement is a step in the process, and all of the steps must be taken.
