Planetfall has quite a bit of DLL changes... I doubt the game would even start properly.Taneda Santôka;8760982 said:Well, sometimes, even if it's at a relative cost, deleting the custom DLL works...

Map of Planet, new factions... this is pretty much v13.

There seems to be a little mix-up in the game... the Hyperian is using Psi combat now, whereas the Psion isn't.
Totally! This patch is great! Fun to see all the factions in play! I need a bit to let this sink in (and see it in play)!

Pretty much yeah. There seem to be lots of people who never download patches, so I want to wait with uploading a v13 until this patch has been freed from any possible bugs.

A patch m was uploaded which fixed a bug causing the AI to constantly build aquaformers. The patch doesn't break patch l saves.

Version 13 of Planetfall, the Alpha Centauri total conversion mod for Civ4 BtS, has been released. This new version will break save games from previous versions.
This new version contains only feature fixes and other minor changes compared to the latest patch. The idea is to upload a main file of which I can be reasonably sure it doesn't have any bugs.
Don't forget to reapply the SMAC fx and voices folder. A new version creates a new mod folder after all.
Changelog:
1. Datalinks text by Pickly.
2. There is now a visual distinction between many worked and unworked terrain improvements, by GeoModder.
3. The Rotor unit gains +40% attack versus the Walker unit.
4. The Psion unit can be transported on Isles of the Deep.
5. The Acolyte unit can be transported on Isles of the Deep (but as a consequence no longer on Submarines).
6. Feature Fix: Hive drones don't consume food.
7. Feature Fix: Concordat signatories gain free Great People points in each base. Amount = Flowering Counter / 20.
8. Feature Fix: the Telepathix Matrix removes anarchy. In addition it also reduces global war weariness by 50% and provides a global +1 Happy.

Guys, this mod has improved leaps and bounds since I last played it. I love the fact that this mod is seeing progress. I personally get a little tired of Fantasy but the Sci-Fi market rarely gets proper love and attention unfortunately. But you guys are giving me a great alternative to playing FfH for a break from civ. Plus the game looks great and completely unique. Mondo Kudos.

Don't worry. New players, who these screenshots are primarily aimed at, won't notice. 
Because of the recent posting of lots of screenshots, I now have 44 screenshots fit for patch announcement.
The oldest I have in reserve is from 29 Nov.

I noticed an undocumented change to the building "Weather Control" (also new name), which seems to work now corporation-style.
I remember that SCPs could get special abilities/promotions in the past - maybe that could be brought back (for fitting ones like Hypnotic Trance or Deep Radar)? I think it would compensate just a bit for the fact that on sea NL is a lot faster.
Hmm, that will push the tensions probably somewhat back, but let's see how it plays out. I wonder if the "Expell Hybrids from council" motion shouldn't fall also under that rule?
I really like that idea More meaningful council resolutions are always a good thing.
This might give the Angels a needed edge. We just need to be careful that we don't kill espionage for the other AIs (= they need to know about this restriction). Is there somehow a way to see how much ESP the AIs have accumlated (e.g. via debug menu)? Also it would be probably good to note that somehow
in the datalinks (Probe Team entry)
It also gives +25% to Great people birth rate.
Reading the datalinks, it seem that this change both affects the ability to harvest ressources (which I understand, as it creates choice between boosting PV and harvesting ressources with a Marine Lab) and the one to discover new ressources, which is currently discussed - that seems to have vanished completely. What's the reason for this?
Edit: I also wonder if the building "Xenoempathy Dome" was added...I can't remember having seen it before and the last changelogs also don't mention its addition...

That was removed because I don't want non-Biodomed factions to give their sea CPs invisibility promotions and the ability to move under Icepacks.
I'll have a low priority look at it.
What special AI code do you think is needed?

You can add the totals up in the Foreign Advisor/Relations screen. Tedious, but it's the only way I know at present.

I understand, though I think -if possible- allowing just some non-problematic and realistic promotions would create some interesting choices and help with sea expansion.
Ok, taking in account that excess probe teams (= you have already built them and then use up too much of your stored ESP) probably don't vanish and that spies can no longer be cought on the way to their target at all [correct assumption or does 21) mean that there is now a chance to neutralize a Probe Team when spotting it with your own? Or is "spotting" purely an informational gain, for whatever it helps?), it may not be such a huge issue as I though in the first moment.

AFAIK the AI never took into account in the first place spies can get lost in enemy territory. I have added some code which should hopefully prevent them moving into areas where they can be seen now. If they're seen, they should indeed be killable by any military unit.
