Looking for alpha centauri players

[Eldramatico]

Hi there

As the title says, i'm looking for alpha centauri players. Great game isn't it? Alpha Centauri is artistic, creative, imaginative and strategic. Even after 7-8 years, i'm still attracted by that game.

I'm dreaming of a big game with human players (computers are truly stupid, at the moment you get Doctrine: Airpower, they become innofensive)

So if anyone wants to take the challenge, send me a mail, it could be very cool to play, even if we're not many... I'm an experienced player and i find the single player mode intensively easy.

For the pleasure!
Élian

Salut!

Comme le dit le titre, je recherche des joueurs de alpha centauri. Quel jeu extraordinaire. Artistique, créatif, imaginatif et stratégique... Même après 7/8 ans, je suis toujours attiré par ce jeu.

Je m'imaginais jouer une grosse game avec des vrais joueurs(les ordis sont stupides, dès que tu as Doctrine: Airpower ils deviennent tous des teddybears innofensifs. Les seuls ordis qui semblent être légèrement bons à la fin sont des races non-militaires...)

S'il y a des intéressés, envoyez moi un courriel, ça pourrait être vraiment cool de jouer, même si on n'est pas nombreux. Je suis un joueur expériementé qui trouve le mode single player vraiment trop facile....

Au plaisir!
Élian

We had a succession game going at a new site called Centauri Preserve (see the link in my sig. But it is getting difficult to get enough AC fans in one place anymore.

Check out the SMAC Multiplaying Forum on Apolyton. Right now they are setting up a new game for those who haven't played previously by email.

Apparently it's all PBEM over there, is there any place where people are trying to play online? Or doesn't that work too well?
If someone wants to try I'd be interested, although I'm not *that* good (still struggling on transcend).

There are problems with MP I found with my brother...mainly that datalinks are just too invasive and thus powerful. No way to hide weakness or your intentions if they are allowed in the game.

Thanks for the answers, Keroro, Petek, Kittenofchaos, and Thrar.

We can also play by TCP-IP (i never tried to play by Email, so i don't know how it works). TCP-IP can take many players playing at the same time simultaneously, so the game get faster.http://forums.civfanatics.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif


Would you like to try a TCP-IP SMAC(original) game?

I'll try to wait some time for other players. I've posted a thread on Centauri Preserve http://centauripreserve.selfip.net/. Maybe we can fix a time next week for a game. We should decide on wich version of SMAC we shall play (the newer version of SMAC respect the police on the social engeneering table, but chairman Yang is truly too strong in this version. He has Planned economics AND Police state free, without penalties.) I propose the original version of SMAC without any patch.

Mail me at: Eldramatico@yahoo.ca

If you want, give me the times you could possibly play
So, who's on for a game next week?

I'd prefer SMAX, since I haven't played SMAC in ages and would probably miss some things. I don't know about Yang, what's the difference between the two versions? Didn't he have the no inefficiency in SMAC?
I'd rather see Yang banned from the game than playing SMAC, if he's a problem.

Another thing, is there any problem with using games in different languages? Mine is German (patched to 2.0), does that work fine with English games in a network game?

As for game times: Where are we all from? If we have people from all kinds of time zones it's probably difficult. I'd be available Monday and Thursday basically all day at GMT+2, but on Tuesday/Wednesday busy in the evening. From Friday to Monday at least I'm not available at all.
