Nah, that murders your science rates. I think I just did the normal Rec Com./Holo Theater/HGP/Specialist thing.

By the way, I really like your custom faction ideas, although I haven't gotten the time to play anything right now. Do you consider them finished or do you plan to tweak them some more?

I still tweak them now and then but they are mostly in a finished state. If I had the time I'd update some of their graphics but that's a time investment that I don't have right now.

Glad you're enjoying them. Right now I'm working on another set with some guys at AC2, based on an all aquatic theme.

Double posting for this:

PlotinusRedux has posted the initial version of his [urk=http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=14308.0]UI Patch,[/url] which lets you Tab into Windowed mode, enables some enhanced zoom options and some very nice optics, such as showing all resources available to a base and coloring terrain based on aspects like faction ownership and rainfall. It's the first version of the patch and needs some fine tuning still (you need to use ESC to skip the opening movie, for instance), but it's still very impressive.

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.
Fired up the ol' Alpha Centauri and blew through Sparta and Gaia, but when I tried a Morgan Economic Victory game I had to keep restarting.

I'm not as good as I remember. All the other factions grab the early Secret Projects first.

Morgan is like the perfect faction IMO. The small pop limit isn't really a big deal, since you can't afford to grow too much bigger early on high difficulty anyway. You can even run Green, which totally shouldn't be allowed, but I guess letting Morgan have Planned would be absurdly broken.
