Out of curiosity, has anyone created a mod for SMAC that uses Civ2's tech tree and world, etc with SMAC's game engine ? I think that would be quite interesting.

...it would be better than Civ3 in terms of playability :lol:

wouldnt it have been nice if there was a game that combined the openess of SMAC and the graphics of CIV3 into a better game, It would be the ultimate.....I need some sleep

This is happening, but the other way around. Go to the Civ2 Scenario Creation forum. You'll find some people attempting to make a "SMAC mod" for Civ2. Has potential to be quite good, too.

lol. Yeah, it's in the making. I think Firaxis calls it Sid Meier's Civilization 4.

My thoughts exactly. Hey, I started a poll in CIVIII general discusion on which sid game you liked best. If you liked SMAC help me out to let the people know what a cool game it is.

Well I rant a lot. Does that help?

Is anyone working on this?

Would be great.

yes yes what ever happened to it...:( I was enjoying the discussion

Is it possible to change unit graphics in SMAC? I haven't seen any mods.

It's possible to change faction, city, and picture graphics, but not units, so far as I know. There are no mods because that's very, very difficult. A Second World War scenario would be awesome, if anyone could figure out the ridiculus map maker. I would like new portraits for the leaders. *Sigh,* all this cool stuff, and no way to do it.

It's difficult to make a MOD for SMAC 'cause, unlike Civ2 & 3, units are highly customizable during the game...

Plus, seven factions are real few for all the civilizations of the world :egypt: :jesus: :borg:

However, I dream Civ3 on SMAC engine, like you
