Sid Meier´s Alpha Centauri
As you might have expected so is every world different from the other. Each
time you play, an all-new fractal based planet generator creates a new
planet, complete with unique weather patterns and geological formations. The terrain is in
3D and the 3D contoured terrain breaks through the "flat-map" syndrome. You can
watch your units turn, bank and tilt over the rolling hills of Planet. You can also 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.
With over 80 future
technologies that define the state of the art in interesting decisions. This means that
you can research a new military technology, better medical technology to increase the
standard of living, or a new power source to generate more energy. You can 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.
There is a myriad of choices to select between. You can construct dozens of base
facilities or build up to 32 astounding Secret Projects that confer unique
bonuses on your faction. 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!). You can
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.
