Of course I value art and lore in a series/gameplay I consider established.

I like that one, but it'd have more meaning if it were related to the game.

It's BE concept art. Dunno if this structure will appear in the final version of the game though..

That's... wow. That's just something I lack proper words for, that is jarring that similarity..

It's actually very humbling that they went that far to honour/raise a glass to Gagarin like that, that makes me happy to be frank...

 ;lol

You know what makes even funnier is that Gagarin said, when he reached space, "The Earth is blue, but there is no god."
 ;lol

Now I am half expecting some goofy picture of him in some orthodox christian mural as a saint you are going to drag up out of depth of the internet.. half expecting. Other half expect is just you making a witty comment on that subject..

Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, Gagarin still watches and judges us.

Not exactly fond of that slogan... but Vazheli Vatzev might see light in this game. He's more internationalist though, fits SMAC better... might see him go with Slavic Federation though. Really depends... I'd have to figure out way to purchase and obtain this game, not sure if it run on my machine either  ;lol

We'll see.

And Blaneck, people need heroes, not gods. Gagarin is a hero I and many look up to- but he's not something one would worship. That's unhealthy.

Oh who cares, I don't know what worship is anyway.  Gagarin will definitely damn you to hell.  Gagarin is merciful and forgiving but you definitely cross the line with this atheisme.

Post by: JarlWolf on September 30, 2014, 09:28:28 AM

To be fair, a lot of sci-fi concepts aren't anything new. The Zerg and Starcraft 2 in general are rips of Warhammer, and Warhammer has inspirations from Starship troopers and other series before it. Originality is fine, but ideas evolve, are re-used and changed.

I am curious as to what the first picture applies to though... supremacy path? Purity? If there is any information on what these units or things are, please post.

Doesn't matter.  The original starcraft campaign was the BOMB.  EVERYONE should play it once in their life.  It should be part of the eduction system, like Shakespeare.  It's like a how to do a sci-fi western epic.  When I heard that the second one involved some sort of political commentary (propoganda) for the modern American quest for democracy (because dictatorship is bad) I thought they were out of their minds.  But of course most Americans are out of their minds, it's why they still believe in their system and do not worship our father Gagarin.

Battlesuit is a mid-game tough melee shock unit. It's the first unique unit available for the Purity affinity (requires level 4 in Purity).
As all unique units, it can be upgraded later, along the different affinity paths:
- True Battlesuit available at Purity level 12
- Evolved Battlesuit available at Purity level 10 & Harmony level 2
- Prime Battlesuit available at Purity level 10 & Supremacy 2

Here's an in-game shot of the 'Design Workshop' (CivBE version):

Let's take a closer look at some more units :

This is the 'settler' a.k.a. 'colony pod' for AC fans (click to enlarge):
(http://alphacentauri2.info/civbe/conceptart/CivBE-Settler.jpg)

The file name reads 'fortress' but i think 'LEV Destroyer' is the name of this late game unit which uses the floatstone special resource to levitate. In SMAC terms it's a heavily armoured gravship (click to enlarge).
(http://alphacentauri2.info/civbe/conceptart/CivBE-Fortress.jpg)

Here we have some of the local fauna. Dunno about you, but i will sorely miss the mindworms (click to enlarge):
