This is awesome! Have you notified the SMAC people at Apolyton? I never noticed how phallic the former is...

Well, the name "Roanoke" is living up to its reputation... the abandoned colony. As some of you (named Woodelf) know, I've been working on new (real life) job opportunities. Fortunately for me, a lot of them are panning out... but unfortunately for this project, this effort is basically taking...

Interesting, I like that progression. Tho I think I'd suggested the geometric progression for Roan resources :) Don't know how hard this would be, but here's how I think it can look a little more "natural" (besides reskinning :)) -- I like the idea of a base that keeps growing. So, can the base...

(back from exhile... you guys miss me?) Oooh... I like everything I see here. Woodelf, do you know how to add/remove elements of a model, e.g. change the gun on a figure?

One thing I think Firaxis (and we) should take note of is the excitement generated in games, for some players at least, of the possibility of forming Permanent Alliances. I think there's a natural urge by a lot of gamers to want to form teams and not just trounce everyone on their own. If there...

What, is our entire team married??

Looking forward to your feedback, Zenemij -- I should warn you that we've significantly changed the mod since the original description, including pruning back to only Era 1, which we should be wrapping up shortly so we can move to Era 2. Welcome back Jenks! How was London? :)

I have an idea tangential to 1.3 (popular mood) which is primarily intended to enhance diplomacy. By implementing the 4 ideas (1. Like it when you cooperate with people they like; 2. Hate it when you cooperate with people they hate; 3. Like it when you are tough on people they hate; 4. Hate it...

Thanks for the info Chalid. Obviously I gave it a VERY cursory scan. Wow... that would be really awesome! Of course, I don't know that such an idea is Fun :confused:

As we all know, the AI doesn't know how to use land transport to move, e.g., an infantry with an APC. From a quick scan of the transport AI, it seems to be hard-coded around multi-domain movement. So... I was wondering if anyone has a guess how hard it would be to tweak the transport AI so...

Dude, somehow I missed this thread but these are awesome. Cool old-school stuff! I particularly like the 2nd and 3rd ones -- though I don't even know the cultural references, they "feel" retro :D

Try removing the alpha channel -- if this file is like the others, you'll see that Firaxis uses magenta and aqua to draw borders between objects and also indicate that something is in the slot.

Don't be so literal! :D Units can be "software" code that run around on the "Net"... bases can be data farms rather than physical presences. We can use the ocean as an alternative realm, really, a non-physical "reality" on the planet. I haven't thought this through fully, but it's the general...

Very exciting. I assume you are keeping the "flavor" parts of this mod separate from the "technical" parts so those of us interested in one part can lift only what we need :)

I'm interested in several of the changes you've described for our single-player mod, but these changes are not on our immediate list of to-dos. From my cursory examination of the code, diplomacy seems to be the most obscure and opaque parts of the system. In fact, from what I understand the...
