hello everyone.
its my first post in the alpha centauri forum but i have been in the comunity on civ1 for nearly a year mostly quiet lol, still. i bought alpha centauri a few months ago from the soldout series just wondering what would be this game since from my information it was something of a mix from civ 2 and 3.
so i tried it and i though this game suits me best.
still personally im quite a capitalist minded person. and i though morgan's faction doesnt really suit me. and i started to do some research on how to customise factions.
so gameplay wise i made my own faction to play. its still in test mode but aparently so far its not very overpowered. i have tried a multiplayer game vs my brother using the univercity and things where balanced. (fingers crossed it is balanced lol )
STILL what i really need help with is this. i have basically the gameplay part kinda sorted. now i want to make the faction more.... emersive. so i have given it a name (quite crappy actually but better ideas will come) ECB (european central bank) and based the name of the leader and secretaries on people from the real ECB. on the datalinks i gave a sinple explanation for every up and down of the faction and changed some of the diplomacy comments. basically im quite proud of it so i better just tell everyone lol.
i have reached the point where i got a few images for the bases, an idea for the logo, and for the face of the leader.
my issue is this. i dont know how to "link" the txt file to the pcx file that i have, if i need to give it the same name, or use some code in the txt file. or whatever is the way to do it. so i decided to ask here cus im pretty sure someone will be able to help.
im not posting the faction files yet cus its not finished but i could also use some help on the balance. it looks balanced to me but i never play in dificultyes harder than citizen.
the faction has the folowing pros and cons.
+2 economy
+2 industy
+1 eficience.
-2 planet
-2 probe
-3 support
considering its an extremly capitalist faction that seems to make sence to me. im open to suggestions.
thanks everyone.
