Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire

Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire

Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire, published in September 1999, is an expansion pack for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It was designed by Timothy Train and other members of Firaxis Games. Alien Crossfire features seven new factions (two of which are non-human) and multiple new technologies.

The main storyline element added to the game is the "alien crossfire" itself. The two alien Progenitor factions are locked in a civil war: one side, the Usurpers, wishes to exploit Manifold Six (the Progenitor name for Planet) for military purposes; the other side, the Caretakers, wishes to prevent this and leave the planet alone. Both factions sent ships to Manifold Six to settle the matter once and for all. Unfortunately for them (but probably fortunately for the human factions on Planet), the battle went badly for both sides and they ended up crash-landing on Planet. Lost in the crash are countless alien lives and virtually all of the alien research and technology. Their civil war continues, however, and both factions dream of the day that they can send for reinforcements and crush the other faction.

Progenitor factions have the ability to always target research (human factions, by default, can only choose general research paths.) In addition, the Progenitors have a unique victory condition - by researching up the tech tree, they can eventually build a Resonance Communicator, allowing them to summon the bulk of their forces to Chiron, overwhelming all other factions.

Initially, Progenitors and humans cannot confer with each other - they must research the appropriate technology (Progenitor Psych for human factions, Social Psych for Progenitor factions) to understand how to communicate between the species. Also, Progenitor and human living requirements are radically different - when one species takes over a city of the other species, those residents that survive the conquest are forced out in Colony Pods. Since the two sides belong to different species, they are also able to commit atrocities, such as destroying bases and using nerve gas, against each other without fear of political repercussions. The only exception to this is the use of planet-busters since it affects Planet negatively.

The Progenitor factions can win with Progenitor Victory condition. The player must construct the Resonance Communicator. The Resonance Communicator is a combination of six Subspace Generators. In order for a Subspace Generator to be activated it must be at a base size ten or larger. The Resonance Communicator is used to call the Progenitors' home fleet, which is much more powerful than all the human and the other Progenitor factions combined, so the player wins the game. Even if Cooperative victory is enabled, only the faction that built the Resonance Communicator is considered to have won.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (sometimes abbreviated to SMAC or Alpha Centauri) is a turn-based strategic computer game created by Brian Reynolds and Sid Meier under the auspices of Firaxis Games in 1999. It is based on a fictional attempt by human beings to colonize a planet in the Alpha Centauri star system. It picks up where Meier and Reynolds' earlier title, Civilization II, left off. An expansion pack called Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire (aka SMACX or just SMAX) was also released.

According to the storyline of the game, Earth destroyed itself through war, famine and poverty, but before it destroys itself completely, the U.N. launches a colonization starship called "Unity". The Unity is destined for a planet in the Alpha Centauri system, thus the name of the game. This planet is very similar to Earth, and they hope that the people can establish a new colony on Alpha Centauri (generally just called "Planet" though the real name being "Chiron").
However, before the starship fully reaches Planet, 40 years into the journey, the Unity suffers a core malfunction and awakens many of the crew, who then proceed to fix the malfunction. Before they are done, however, the captain of Unity, Captain Garland, is assassinated by an unknown assailant. This causes the remainder of the crew to wake up.

When the assassination occurs, all of the crew panics. Seven leaders take up the challenge of leading a faction onto Planet by use of one of seven colony pods. Unity crashes onto Planet and the supplies spread everywhere. That is where the player comes in.

Within the game, the player assumes the role of one of the seven faction leaders and attempts to expand their colony and achieve victory. Players engage themselves in a race against the other factions, and are free to adopt any number of strategies in pursuit of their goal. Scientific discoveries within the game determine what technologies are available to particular factions, which in turn determines what facilities and units they can build at their colony bases. Alpha Centauri allows the player to fully customize units.

Alpha Centauri is open-ended and has multiple, customizable parameters for victory. The player can choose to work toward a victory based on diplomacy, economics, conquest, or transcendence.
