some of the in-game grafix.

the factions building grafix were choosen from smac, smax and custom sets (example: the bajorans have the typical pagode type buildings, the federation skyscrapers...)

@ kassiopeia: thx for the offer, i'll contact you when it's done

hey this sounds awesome! don't suppose i'll be able to get it for mac?

btw, will the roumlans, klingons and federation be allied agianst the dominion/cardasians when the scenario starts or does the war start later?

and what are you using to judge your placement of certain places? like bajor, cardassia. etc?

ST:DS9 is designed for SMAC 4.0 (no SMAX needed)

hmm, i think it will work with macs (like my scenarios).

well, ST:DS9 is a total conversion. that means a whole new game. i build the factions and their charcteristics after the series. but to get 100% right political struggles i'll add some special scenarios. the background story places ST:DS9 on Bajor, but there are no real limits (i'm thinking about some special missions on other homeworlds/colonies).

well, in the first release you have to live with the SMAC tech, but i plan to replace it with trek tech in one of the next versions.

Also, I notice that on a screenshot showing the Planetary Council, three people are being voted for, rather than SMACs two. How else has the planetary council been changed? How many candidates are there? Can anyone be voted for???

Great work TresXF

Basilisk, the game will put up more than 2 candidates if there is a tie for 2nd; I've seen 3, but if they bothered with 3 it will probably do more also.

i uploaded a translation of the cultural details.
i think the different factions are close to the series this way (smac is a little bit limited with the number of characteristics...).

btw, thx again for the positive feedback.

council votes: well, happens often to me to have 3 candidates. as johndmuller said: the 2. and 3. canditates are equal in power in that case.
you can even have 7 candidates if you activate the scenario editor and call a council before finishing the first turn

Looks great - I'm going to have to grab back my copy of SMAC from my brother just to play this. Roll on the U.S./U.K. release . . .

	Two questions Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Firstly, and either Cyber or Googlie already told me this once, how do I find out which version of SMAC I have? Obviously I need 4.0 for this conversion.

Secondly, who/what are the reptile-looking characters in the pictures? I'm talking about the ones just below the planetary council election graphic. They are standing along a rock wall. I watched a bit of DS9 but was not a regular viewer.
