The usual rules apply for submitting finished games and strategies used to beat them. 1. NO Scenario Editor, no exceptions! 2. No Faction Editor/Firaxians Faction 3. Legal game copies 4. No changing your game's "rules" files 5. (Recommended normally, required for High Score runs) Iron Man...

General strategies... IMPORTANT!: I'm getting this out of the way now. Once the Progenitors can build Subspace Generators unabated, your odds of losing (if you're playing as them) are virtually zero. Don't "just ask" me about it. If you're doing so, please STOP IT. Minor note: Cooperative...

Faction Rankings and Reasoning... Tier 1: either Progenitor nation (it doesn't matter how much Fungal Towers and Spore Launchers bother you. Wiping out the last of mankind is otherwise too easy, since you have the advantage from the start.) Tier 2: any human Crossfire faction (as I mentioned...

Once you'd have enough Minerals to build them, Clean Reactors make Support a non-issue. The real problem is getting the techs for Democratic and Free Market before the more progress heavy factions like the University, Peacekeepers, Hive and Morgans can overwhelm you.

For Alien Crossfire, I suggest a human faction for the best experience. Even the Cult of Planet can have a chance on maps with more native wildlife and the Pirates are good with arid, oceanic and rocky worlds. If you find the Progenitor Victory fun, the aliens are good too. Remember however they...

Of the original factions... Recommended: University, Morgans and Peacekeepers Challenging: Believers, Hive and Gaia's Stepdaughters Masochistic: Spartans Reasoning... University: there's no way to win without gaining new techs somehow, and this faction is best for research in the early...

After thinking about what I've learned, I decided to forfeit my Morgan game. With losing Secrets of the Human Brain and multiple Secret Projects regardless, there's no way I'd have the patience to keep playing with a three city continent. Episode 1

Found the grit to return to Alpha Centauri after getting increasingly bored with other crap. Still needed several tries to generate the "ideal" map but I finally did it with the result you see here. Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode...

The “intended” strategy for so early a win entails the Catapults (Artillery), Horsemen (Cavalry) and Archers (Infantry) at lower Difficulty Levels if all (four to seven) nations are on a single landmass. Otherwise, you’ll also need Galleons (Transports) and Frigates (Offshore Bombardment). It’s...

Somehow, my password for them got broke. And apparently, that's a once-only-and-you're-dead goof on alphacentauri2.info Not joking, I've tried everything. Even typing in the same email address repeatedly and trying out every other email address I know I could have used. Even tried getting the...

Thank goodness most modern browsers now appear to support the new CivFanatics Forums design (I'm used to it now too). However, I'd still like to know one thing: is it possible to change my username here on the forums? I no longer want to use my full, legal name on sites like this one for privacy...

No, It just opens a tab with my avatar. I want my account to have no avatar because I know these issues won't "be fixed." Where do I send a PM (personal message) to someone anyway?

“Your full account details are not currently editable.” (Under “account details”) Had I known about the change, I would’ve totally stopped with “asking” “how much waiting” and changed my profile pic sooner, because now it’s stuck the way it is. >:(

Same problem I'm having. "Your full account details are not currently editable" is my error. And that's a problem because I haven't been on Civfanatics in months, and I want to change my profile pic.

Scenario’s name: “2nd Great Depression”/“Fourth Reich” Story: its February 2022. Desperate to “return the empire” to its “rightful place”, the Russians attack Ukraine, even as the democratic world builds up its culture to bring down the weakest dictatorships with as little bloodshed as...
