Thanks. I hope to continue this at some point. Life been keeping me from it right now.

Comments on be careful what you wish for go here. Try to keep them constructive but I have a thick skin ... I mean I am a libertarian and I go to an extremely leftish law school AND I have been on the internet for a loooong time (ah the days when everyone knew what baud meant) so I have to.

Note from author: So I have been gone for several years entering law school will do that to you. Last time I was here Alpha Centauri and Civ IV were the rage, I played "story" mp games with friends and the spartan chronicles were ongoing. Come back for BE and find Alpha Centauri relegated to...

Hmm I see Zarakhov as being anti control especially government control. He is all about research without limits, be they limits from religion (Diedre), "human rights" (lal - who would stop him from experimenting on prisoners), or possibly business (Morgan). As such I can't see him using...

So is there a social group for alpha centauri? I searched for one and couldn't find it but don't want to start one if it already exists. Would be most interested in a social group for MP and stories. Thanks!

Yes and no. I tried to play civ I again recently and could get over the graphics at least partially. Some games this is more important than others - strategy games less so. For the cinematics it would be important obviously and part of my contention is that for purposes of feel and mood these...

I vote for merging this into some of the game forums here - we need more civ and civ be stories. Also I vote for starting on Fridays as weekends better time for most people I think.

Hi ... so been a loooong time since I been on the forum. Last time I was on think I had a alpha centauri avatar. Have those been removed...if so can we get them back? Thanks! (also are the AC stories archived somewhere want to download the best ones before they dissapear completely and see...

I'd love to do this and can mention it in the polycast once we get it going and what we learn. Also anyone doing a democracy game? That could be interesting.

So I have a thread for this on steam but I thought I would post here also would link to the steam thread but seem not to be able to get a link for it on steam anymore. I try to post in it reasonably often though to keep it on the first page. I would buy a dlc that had movies for wonders and...

I love this. I played in in mp a bit recently and though we didn't finish because it crashed it was great. I had some odd problems with hotjoining where it couldn't decompress some parts not sure what that was about. Anyway playing the galaxy version now with wormholes and all kinds of cool...

Yup these are all features in so much as they were part of AC and for many of us what made it good. You have to be very careful about what you research when and how you go about it much more so than even in Civ IV (which has a much more sprawling tech tree than other Civ versions really). I am...

Ah had found this before but didn't have time to mess with it. Now that you have added a transcendance victory ;) seemed like the time to get in. Your link to buy the game still works by the way bought a copy for myself there just so that I could have the sounds for your mod (my discs got lost...

Oh my lord.. How did I miss this all this time? Not only does this seem to be an excellent mod you have included SO MANY scenarios, and none of them look like they were simple non-thought out tweaks. You have even included mods for parts of the series even I don't remember (and I thought I...

With the addition of the turn timer Civ IV has been turned into warcraft or starcraft. If you are turning on automation or if you HAVE to turn on automation to have enough time to move all your units in one turn..if you can't build mixed stacks because you have to use the move all or move all...
