This is the first faction I have released for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
It's based on the movie called 'Blade Runner' which was released in 1983. Last year, Westwood Studios published a game based on the movie which was an adventure game and revolutionized the genre of adventure. I have used some help from the game as well as the movie.
Here's a run-down on what I've included which some of you BR fans might recognise:
- Leader of Rep Detect Unit is Rick Deckard, from the movie played by Harrison
Ford. The assistant is Rachel, scientist is J.F. Sebastian and assistant city is Off World.
- Ray McCoy is used as the picture of Deckard who is from the game. I used him
because I felt that since the other profiles are computer generated, using a actual photo might ruin the atmosphere.
- The quote at the start was said in the game by Crystal Steele who was
refering to Deckard.
- The base names are either from the movie or made up based on some important
figure/location from the movie. I reckon they are pretty good. :-)
-All the logos and pictures work, unlike other player-made factions which are the same and don't have different coloured logos.
