wat are the major diffs

[darktech]

i own 2 copies of smac and a copy of the planetary pack- that contains both smac and smac-x i have only installed smac-x once (that it work due to a file errror with the planetary pack) but in the short period of time i had it i never saw a MAJor difference, is there one like in the tech tree or is it all in the factions and setup area?

one of the main reasons i ask is because my disk containing smac-x got scratched and ive been trying to take some of the files off and im wondering what are the most important

Um, you have 7 new factions to play with, I would count that as a big difference...

and there are a few additions to the tech tree--not much though. There are also some new alien units... the ones that act as artillery are particularly annoying.

Also some new armors, weapons, base facilities, secret projects and even few landmarks.
Kind of hard to miss I'd say.

well i just never relly got to play it before the disk was scratched, and i didn't count the 7 factions cause my curent version has over like 100 installed but i was mainly wondering about the tech tree,


thx it took me about 8 hours but iwas able to obtain enough files from the damaged disk to reconstruct alien crossfire

The tech tree changes only slightly. New technologies:

Progenitor Psych (Communicate with Progenitor factions, Aquafarm)
Field Modulation (3-Res Armor)
Adaptive Economics (The Planetary Energy Grid, Thermocline Transducer)
Adaptive Doctrine (3-Pulse Armor, Marine Detachment)
Bioadaptive Resonance (R-Laser [6], Spore Launcher)
Sentient Resonance (8-Res Armor, R-Bolt [12])
Secrets of the Manifolds (The Manifold Harmonics, free tech)
String Resonance (String Disruptor [30])
