Awesome....is this a mod you made?

Yep. Basically, the scenario is OCC Always War. Normally, at Diety difficulty, this would be suicide.... 
The Gen'Shar are actually the Romans (so I get the Evil Red Color), and begin the game with all technologies through late Industrial. I then took away the Roman Legionary, and also denied them the ability to build Settlers.
Culture flipping is turned off, as are all victory conditions except Conquest.
In story terms, the Gen'Shar actually do understand the ideas behind Replaceable Parts, Synthetic Fibers, and Computers. In fact, they understand far more than is actually present on the Civ 3 tech tree. But these wayward colonists don't have the vast industrial base needed to build the highly advanced components used in their hovertanks and other assault vehicles. So they have to research advanced weapons over again, and adapt them to conquering Earth.
I took a liking to this idea ever since I first played Master of Orion II, and got slapped with that first surprise attack by the Antarans (a highly advanced race, wielding terrifying weapons and attacking you from another dimension, seemingly with impunity....)

One other note: the scenario editor allows you to enable or disable the prerequisites that cause strategic resources to become visible on the map. I turned all those off and made all strategic resources visible from the start, since the Gen'Shar already understand their value.
Now you just need the Guardian.. 
Great story, as can be expected.

I just had a revelation : BasketCase is the Gen'Shar 
!
I though that you would be playing as one of the "Earth" civ against an opponent far more advanced in tech
.
Great story, 6 star rating, just remember to watch out for spearmen

Where's the fun in that? Almost every PC game in existence is that way--advanced enemies against YOU.captain beaver said:I just had a revelation : BasketCase is the Gen'Shar

For once I wanna be the one with all the cool goodies!

Wow, this new story blows the other two away already. Not only is it a cool variant, but a good story too. I think it would be cool if, after all the other civs have been destroyed, the people built the spaceship and left Earth for their homeworld. Just a thought I had...
