I just heard about this.

won't get a chance to try this until my weekend though. But it could rejuvenate my interest in SMAC.

I've done some messing around with the alpha.txt myself. But it's hard to get the right mix of balance.

actually I couldn't resist starting a quick game.

I'm actually playing a level below the difficulty level I normally play at (normally thinker), and I'm getting whooped by the Spartans. the mind worms can be nasty as well.

This mod definately offers more challenge. I started a large planet medium water, weak erosive forces and average life forms. I got kind of crowded in by the university and spartans. Both demanded money from me when I first met them. And they expanded faster than I did (though my starting position wasn't that great (no nutrients).

I rejected a spartan demand (the tech that gives hypnotic trance ability) and they declared war on me. They quickly took my capitol, but I got it back. And I conquered one of their cities. But I still only have 3 cities against their 4. And they still have impact weapons and I only have lasers.

Recently I haven't much time for SP SMAC, but I'd like to have some MP to test this mod (as well as gwillybj mod alone), preferably after the New Year's break. Will be someone interested?

I'd like to see a DG done of a SMA(C/X) mod, either a full-blown TC like Aldebaran (despite its current state of incompleteness (only in things like blurbs though)) or an simpler mod (which I expect would be more popular, as opposed to having to learn a new techtree).

Also, a possible solution to the Angel's probe team bug: Why not +1 probe and free Covert Ops centres at game start? People generally say Roze is a bit weak.

for the Angles, why not +1 probe and impunity to research?

I'd love to CMN a "Beta Lyrae" mod SP DG. My tech blurbs are almost complete, and the replacement storyline is engaging, IMO. However, probably not going to happen due to lack of popular support. Regardless, good idea #endgame!

I think it'd be the best way to drum up support for a mod, and we should start trying to get support within the ACDG forums when the end of the current DG seems nigh.

My idea to drum up interst in TurboSMAC is to start a massive tounament! One of my goals is to revitalize PBEM.
