Morgan isnt a stereotypical greedy bastard. He actually cares about shit, he plays his cards right, and he makes a profit in the meantime. I'm tired of you treating him like this.

True, true. He's a randian extraordinaire, he has his own moral code, even if it's somewhat dubious and is centered around the praises of greed. He's basically a Dwarf, if Dwarves had working economies. Morgan doesn't just make a profit in the meantime, he makes a profit in the offtime, meantime, worktime...

I know I've opened a topic, went "ooh a poll!", then voted, read the topic, and never PTW'd. :p

Drones?

[Loud Whispers]

Drones?

They're the plebs of Alpha Centauri, commonly used as punching bags or living generally harsh, cruel, awful or a mix of all 3 lifestyles.

Cybernetic Consciousness appears to have run away with the vote which is... Eh.  Okay.  It makes more thematic sense than most of the other expansion factions, since none of the original seven are really defined by technology and it makes an interesting angle.  I've never played them too much, might have to go check that out.

What am I saying, I'm starting the program as I type this.

[Patchy]

Voted for the Cyborgs, since this is a lets play of SMAX according to the title anyways. And they are my fave faction of the expansion. Otherwise I normally play Uni or Morgan, and when bloodlust sets in Hive.

  Let's hope that Svensgaard forgets how to make Pressure Domes before he starts colonizing - every game he spams the breeding ships and it just takes so much time to crush every one of his cities.

I'd sometimes get this bug where Sven would counter attack one of my cities I'd just taken from him, and because there was a boat inside the base he would take over everything inside the base. Mind you, the base would still belong to me - but it would suddenly be full of his soldiers.

Svensgaard was the first faction I exterminated in alpha centauri.
I was playing as Planet Cult.

It was the Spartans for me. Playing as the Believers I took over all the factions and united all their research facilities to outresearch everyone else on Planet. Only the Spartans and Gaians could stand up to me. The Gaians were my ally up until they decided it wasn't worth it; they descended upon my overseas territories with missile and locust. There were brief moments where I retook them, but it was a doomed effort. The locust problem only got worse and worse as believing needlejets and interceptors fought in deadly aerial psi combat against the invaders, who had at this point started reaching the shores of the Believer's home island. While this was happening an age old conflict between the Spartans and Believers had been raging on, and up until this point the Believers were winning. Yet now with most air support being diverted to fighting the Gaians, the Spartans were beginning to rebuild and resistance was growing - the zealot's advance was slowing. Not wanting to wait until Spartan missiles were flying, I deployed the planet busters.
All of my subservient factions of course immediately revolted, I took over their bases with mind control probes in rapid succession. The Gaian problem was never fully fixed and the game ended in a Believing transcendent victory, but it was a good first experience with the planet buster nonetheless.

45 people voted (not counting the GM). We're almost certainly playing as the cyborgs, against the Spartans, Morganites, Zealots, Gaians, Pirates, and either the Free Drones or the Cult of Planet. Sounds like an interesting mix.

If only I knew where to get Alpha Centauri.

[Solymr]

Now that's going to be fun.
I have Alpha Centauri and it can work as a portable so I can share if you want. Alternatively, GOG may have it :V

[GreatWyrmGold]

GOG...Good Old Games?
Yup, I guessed right. Anyways, how would the sharing work?
