Mars, Now in SMAC

[Buster's Uncle]

...As soon as I posted that, I just HAD to go back and improve the head-shoulder proportions to give you more cropping leeway...

Compare these versions:

 

Barely touched the face this time, but she's a few more years older than the last try now.

You may praise me.

faction text file to come...

[Buster's Uncle]

No scan lines?  That's legitimate creative choice, but you do want consistency, and the Union has scan lines - I taught ariete how to do them.

[Matt the Czar]

Well, some factions have better skype than others.   


EDIT: Well, I don't know the big deal with scan lines.

#BLURB
^  Outsiders view our government doomed to fail, being
anarchists.  The truth is that we are different from
other anarchists in our belief that even pure freedom
needs a face and a mindset.

I'll reupload my Demarchists with scanlines next week. Sorry for setting a bad example, BU ;p

[Matt the Czar]

Because you guys are awesome

Put this in your civ 2 SCENARIOS folder

[Buster's Uncle]

Sorry to not have gotten to this sooner; there were technical difficulties when I got back from supper yesterday.

Suggestions:

1) look around Modding and have a look at Green's thread about a Mars mod "Non TCM 'Red Marble'"  - also "A spontaneous community faction project" a related thread where I think I linked GeoModder's old Mars scenario, which I think we have in Downloads.  You may want to do your own thing, or pool efforts at least partially/avoid duplication of effort.  Both are valid creative choices, but in either case you might ought to do your homework and know what's been done/is in the works.

2) For those of us unfamiliar with the C2 mod, even 2heads like me who are too lazy to download, you could be telling a lot more about your plans if you desire more kibbitzing.  Prime the pump with more ideas to help kick-start the brain...

[Matt the Czar]

IDEAS

idea 1: SPs.  The weather paradigm has to go.  The human genome has been sequenced.  A better ending than trancendence.  Maybe a giant warp gate a lá Stargate

[Buster's Uncle]

So end with a sequel ending?  "Yet more frontiers opening before us"?  A little tricky to make as satisfactory as an ending ending, but it could work. 

"My God; it's full of Kurt Rusell."



On the pooling efforts possiblity?  With Kil and/or me helping on the terrain textures for both (all three, depending) I hope everyone can accept that they may have no choice but to share that part...

[Kilkakon]

What version of Civ 2 is your scenario for?

[ariete]

hi matt, i'm happy you like the Union and you consider it to use in your mod but you download the old version with old leaderhead (the nwest leaderhead i like more, go to watch it)
obviously txt are so primitive because my english is not so good when i must express my self and it need a correction
just one thing, the union, in my view, went to replace peacekeeper, federation armada, wich i can define how my jewelry or my horse battle, went to replace spartans
the choise is your
i'can't vote because i've not yet civ2 and i can't test it but i open graphics files ... so simple but so nice

[Buster's Uncle]

Where would he find a newer version?  Got a link?
