Now, this would make a fun SMAC/X mod...
« on: January 31, 2013, 03:35:50 AM »
At least, I think so.  I'll lay it out here and let other people discuss.
Yes, there's 14 factions, and yes, they're all in the same game.  (Or, at least 7 of them are.)
And I'm open to suggestions on any of the question mark entries as I'm not familiar with those series.

Code: [Select]
Franchise  Good Guys Leader                    Bad Guys  Leader
Star Wars Jedi Knights  Master Yoda                  Sith Lords      Darth Vader
Star Trek  Federation Capt. Jean-Luc Picard        Borg        Borg Queen
Stargate    Tau'ri        Col. Jack O'Neill        Goa'uld    Lord Apophis
Dr. Who    Time Lords The Doctor              Daleks      Davros
Babylon 5 Babylonians John Sheridan                Shadows  ???
Bstar Galactica Capricans Adm. Will Adama              Cylons      Number One
Firefly      Resistance Capt. 'Mal' Reynolds        Alliance      Lawman Dobson

Franchise  ..... Firefly
Good Guys ... The Resistance
Leader .......... Capt. Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds
Bad Guys ...... The Alliance
Leader .......... ???
I'm not even sure they ever named him. The closest I can find is one Lawrence Dobson, a lawman for the Alliance. He's hardly the head, but neither is Mal the head of the Resistance.

Well, for the idea to work decently well, these factions would need to represent isolated/cut off groups or subsets of the larger organization.  For example, the "Federation" is represented by Picard, not the President of the Federation; Stargate SG-1 is represented by Colonel Jack O'Neill, not the President of the United States.  Etc.  So Mal and Dobson work for me.  Added.

Battlestar Galactica 1978-1979 (22 episodes): Commander Adama, played by Lorne Greene.
Battlestar Galactica 2004-2009 (73 episodes): Admiral William Adama, played by Edward James Olmos.
Same character in both series, the "new" series being a more successful remake, not a prequel or sequel.

Added!  I also changed the Star Wars representatives - otherwise, we would have had both a "Resistance" and a "Rebellion".
I'm surprised that no one else has jumped in on this conversation...I'd actually be willing to make this happen if someone could handle the graphics and quotes (as I'm useless when it comes to that stuff).

How about Blakes7? Just don't ask who the leader is, Blake or Avon. XD At least the bad guys are easy to work out, although the leader's title could vary depending on the season.

Well...we do have to limit ourselves to 7 franchises.  I tried to pick the 7 most popular spacefaring ones!

Well I suppose that B5 (bits of season 3) and Firefly (I've been told the whole thing) are spiritual successors of Blakes7, so alright. :)

* Random quote

If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.
~Chairman Sheng-ji Yang 'Looking God in the Eye'
