I have read somewhere here that there was some alien faction in some SMAC expansion that was essentially about awakening the planet to kill the humans.
Because of it I got inspired to propose a new faction.
I don't know how to name them or what the leader name should be but I made up a theme.
The idea is that Nuclear weapon fallout + Fungus = Radiotrophic Fungus
Effects:
Plane Value -1
Health -1
2 x Fungus effect toward flowering counter
Can not be cleared by Teraformer Civic
Takes 2 x as much turns to teraform
This is a terrain feature that is negative for everyone Teraformer and Hybrid alike.
Also, since it is like a tumor on the planet the planet hates it as well.
Now this new faction would be about spreading this Radiotrophic Fungus to awaken the evil aspects of the planet to cause it to destroy all colonists.
They would get the fallowing effects:
Are spawned when flowering counter reaches 50%
Plane Value +2 and Health +1 from Radiotrophic Fungus.
Can work Radiotrophic Fungus for a real good resource effect.
Fungus spreads naturally and fungus tiles within cultural borders transform into Radiotrophic Fungus based on city culture. (opposite teraformer)
Any input on the idea? Do you like it?
