[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 6421086, member: 26698"] Anybody here a fan and/or has played the newest Civ game, "Beyond Earth"? Have not had the opportunity to do so (mostly because I do not believe my computer would be able to run the thing), but I have been able to see some information about it, and I think that some ideas could be used with some refinement. As an example... I have not been able to think of much for Brazil and surrounding areas (other than the Favelas being pretty much like a mini-"Escape From New York" situation, and even then it's not set in stone... or maybe they are like this, but improvement is coming along with big steps). But "Beyond Earth" has come along, and with it the Brasilia faction... ...so the question comes along on some details. Like how much could Brasilia affect Brazil. Would we be talking of a "Neo-Brazil" only or an entire Federation composed of some South American countries? And also which route could they take about it? We have "Supremacy" (which could mean them having alliances with folks like the Pan-African Nation and Cortana, and the Brotherhood of Steel, but also some people having a vibe of these guys being like the Borg or something because they are starting to make cybernetic implantation a big necessity in life if not mandatory?), "Unity" (which of course would have them commuting with the Amazon (which is probably becoming as crazy as the Mexican coast up-continent, and having alien races like the Gungans and the Na'Vi running around, plus more normal natives. Of course, there may still be a clash in that it's not exactly "commuting" spiritually so much as attaching bits and pieces to your DNA so you don't get insta-killed by the stuff running around the jungle and calling it "commuting") and "Purity" (which is not as bad as it sounds, and they wanna be the good guys, but obviously some people could not feel pleasant about the proto-IoM feeling they have (especially in the gear designs)). Slavic Fed's... well, guess fighting an uphill battle in Russia. Some folks want the improvements that it could bring (guess aesthetics are half-Supremacy, half-Purity to fit the "Red Alert" and other 'verses), but there's factions like Hotel Moscow that think that if people like Kozlov start running the show, their party's gonna be over. Guess Polistralia's some ways to go, but Australia most probably got a nice boost from their tech. Affinity for mercantilism from Hutama has probably made him a good buddy of MannCo. Don't know the other guys/girls yet. I was also thinking of the "Beyond Earth" factions having established a light alliance between them, don't know how to call it-the "Beyonder Alliance" or the "Firexian Alliance" is the names that get to my head right now. As for SMAC... that one definitely need more help with because it's been hard for me to find info. Guess we may need to add some more planets to Alpha Centauri, with the lot of crazy out there (like Polyphemus). [/QUOTE]
