│■ RELEASE NOTES ■│ │
╞═════════════════╛ │
│ │
│ Sid Meier\'s Alpha Centauri (SMAC) is a turn-based game of exploration, │
│ discovery, empire-building and conquest, set on an alien planet in the │
│ early 22nd century. │
│ │
│ │
│ *** FEATURES *** │
│ │
│ - Rich Sci-Fi Storyline │
│ Experience the future of history in the 22nd century as you chart the │
│ fate of humanity on a mysterious alien world. │
│ │
│ - Seven Unique Factions │
│ Play as one of seven factions, each with its own strengths and │
│ weaknesses, from the warlike Spartan Federation to the ecologically- │
│ conscious Gaia\'s Stepdaughters to the profit-hungry Morgan Conglomerate │
│ │
│ - Multiple Paths to Victory │
│ Conquer the Planet through military might or lead your people to │
│ the next level of human evolution. │
│ │
│ - Addictive Gameplay │
│ Get hooked into Sid Meier\'s famous \"just-one-more-turn\" gameplay. │
│ Every turn brings a new decision--and new consequences. │
│ │
│ │
│ *** EXPLORE *** │
│ │
│ - Every World is Different │
│ Each time you play, an all-new fractal based planet generator creates │
│ a new planet, complete with unique weather patterns and geological │
│ formations. │
│ │
│ - 3-D Terrain │
│ 3-D contoured terrain breaks through the \"flat-map\" syndrome...watch │
│ your units turn, bank and tilt over the rolling hills of Planet. │
│ │
│ - Terraform the Land │
│ Raise and lower the land with your Terraformers, changing weather │
│ patterns and altering the course of rivers to make the climate more │
│ suitable for you or harsher for your opponents. │
│ │
│ │
│ *** DISCOVER *** │
│ │
│ - Compelling Future Technologies │
│ 80 future technologies define the state of the art in interesting │
│ decisions...do you research a new military technology, better │
│ medical technology to increase the standard of living, or a new │
│ power source to generate more energy? │
│ │
│ - Implement Your Vision of Utopia │
│ Create or adopt new social and economic models to formulate the │
│ society of your dreams. │
│ │
│ - The Mysteries of Planet │
│ Discover and contend with strange indigenous life forms, from the │
│ benign Xenofungus to the deadly Mind Worms, and learn how they │
│ interrelate in the larger life cycle of the Planet itself. │
│ │
│ │
│ *** BUILD *** │
│ │
│ - A Myriad of Choices │
│ Construct dozens of base facilities or build up to 32 astounding │
│ Secret Projects that confer unique bonuses on your faction. │
│ │
│ - Custom Units │
│ Design units according to your needs. Outfit land, sea and air units │
│ with multiple types of armor, energy and projectile weapons, and │
│ dozens of special abilities (a superfast Terraformer with singularity │
│ lasers!). │
│ │
│ - Extensive Automation │
│ Simplify the management of your empire with unprecedented levels of │
│ Auto commands, unit patrol orders, intuitive go-tos with waypoints, │
│ colony build queues, and intelligent colony governors. │
│ │
│ - Unique Economic Model │
│ Explore a unique model of wealth and power, in which energy is the │
│ currency of the future. │
│ │
│ │
│ *** CONQUER *** │
│ │
│ - Full Multiplayer Support │
│ Race against six of your friends to dominate the new world on LAN, │
│ modem, Internet or serial connections. Chat live over the Internet │
│ with text or the latest voice-over-data technology. │
│ │
│ - Incredibly Responsive and Detailed AI │
│ Computer players make intelligent decisions, plot with you against │
│ mutual enemies, coordinate their actions, and respond to you based │
│ on their own self-interest and personality. │
│ │
│ - Diplomatic Intrigue and Negotiations │
│ Marshall support for your agenda at meetings of the Planetary Council. │
│ Double-cross allies using stealthy probe teams. Manipulate other │
│ factions to get elected Planetary Governor! │
│ │
│ Ripped: │
│ ~~~~~~~ │
│ │
│ Movies, music and speech. │
│ │
│ Install Info │
│ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ │
│ │
│ Unzip and use our installer or unpack the aces manually. Run the │
│ regsetup.exe to update the registry. Start the game with TERRAN.EXE. │
│ │
│ Addendum │
│ ~~~~~~~~ │
│ As you might already know, our competitors from Razor released a beta │
│ of this game on 01/16/99. There are very obvious changes from their │
│ beta to our final - i.e. our executable is 200k bigger. │
│ │
│ January hasn\'t been a good month for our competition - and for the game │
│ scene as a whole. We find it very disturbing that our competition feels │
│ it\'s necessary to release as many crap, dupe, beta and nonworking titles │
│ as they did this month. We in PDM believe that releasing only quality │
│ games in well done rips with working cracks is what the game scene │
│ should really be about - and not using it as a playground for egomanics. │
