Alpha Centauri Mod: Nuclear Gandhi

[WingsofMemory]

I made this Nuclear Gandhi mod quickly as a joke for the game "Sid Meiers: Alpha Centauri" which is a (legally distinct) sequel to Civilization 2.

This forum doesn't have a section for Alpha Centauri so I thought that I would post it here. If it's against forum protocol, then please feel free to remove this post and let me know.

If there are any Alpha Centauri players out there, give it a whirl! Hopefully you can get a chuckle or two outta' it.

No worries, it's fine here.

Typo in the readme: "You will now [know] it is the correct folder"

Also I'm not sure if those city names will work, because of the lengths, the max length might be shorter than those.

Oh dang, thanks dude.

I did lots of modding for Alpha Centauri years ago, and I think really long base names like that actually worked. I could be wrong, it's been a while, like 10 years or something lol.

If anyone wants to play test it and let me know that'd be appreciated. My version of Alpha Centauri doesn't work on my current computer, so I can't really do it myself. I just made it since I was watching someone stream Alpha Centauri and they made a joke that they're glad that Gandhi from the old civs didn't make it to space and that the faction leaders presented were less dystopian by comparison or something. So I did it as a joke.

Well, thanks for getting back to me!

Steam has a 2024 planetary pack with Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire. It is real cheap.

Seeing this thread got me to purchase that pack, and fooling around with again.
I forgot how much factions hate each other. It is impossible to get through a game without multiple vendettas.
Recalling how some factions are so much stronger. Gaia with Green capture an absurd amount of independent mind worms. University is hyper fast with science. They get the extra bonus of plenty of places to attack alien artifacts. OTOH going to need to complete several games to figure out how to win with the Hive. Starting with free perimeter defense is really weak.
