Games / Sid Meier's Alpha Centarui/Alien Crossfire: Civilization in SPAAAAACE!
« on: October 07, 2011, 10:34:36 AM »
After Sid and Brain Reynolds dropped out of Microprose to join Fraxis. Since Microprose still owned rights to the Civilzation series, they decided to make a science fiction game. as always with almost all games that Sid created this is a great game.
The forget is this? Alpha Centarui (Which we will abbreviate to SMAC for the sake of speed) is set in the distant future in which a colony ship is sent to Alpha Centarui (Later called "Planet"). During the trip to planet, a engine failure causes the entire population to awake and a group of assassins to kill the captain of the ship. After the assassination, the population splits into seven different factions each with a idea.
What makes this different from other Civ games? Mind worms and the workshop.
Mind Worms? Nightmare monsters, they get mad with the more eco-damage you cause.
Workshop? Basically that one thing in Warzone 2015, you can build anything you have researched.
What are the factions?
