Each faction leader represents a point of view references to philosophy, religion, ideology and the like permeate the game, something usually not found in games. But this is more than a set of wacky characters. It's through the writing that the personalities of the faction leaders come alive, not only in their negotiations with the player but also in the speeches that accompany each new technological discovery. It is hard to convey a sense of story in an open-ended strategy game like this, as these type of games use a set of semi-rigid rules on randomly generated worlds, but Alpha Centauri-probably more than any other strategy game I can think of apart from X-COM-really pulls it off, largely through excellent in-game writing and art direction. (Now if only these guys would tackle the Master of Orion genre with an empire-building game that spans the stars.)Įven more remarkable, is that for a strategy game, Alpha Centauri has a lot of personality and mood. While this kind of thing is common in essays about science fiction world-building or in pen-and-paper roleplaying games, it is gallingly rare in strategy games, even on the PC, which is supposed to be a bastion for factual accuracy in contrast, look at the painstaking realism of flight sims and wargames.
PLANET CENTAURI CHEATS MANUAL
For example, the back of this game's manual has a short essay on the dynamics of planet building and solar system formation, which offers a justification of why the "Planet" at Alpha Centauri is the way it is. Alpha Centauri has the scientific plausibility you'd expect from Firaxis, designers known for historical games like Gettysburg and Railroad Tycoon. What you really end up with is a shapeless mish-mash of cliches, just so much sci fi gibberish.īut Brian Reynolds certainly did his homework. Firaxis lavished attention on the background of Alpha Centauri itself took great care in fleshing out a plot and the protagonists and the setting, making a believable and so a more immersive and compelling game.įar too many games simply assume that by drawing landscape, tossing in some laser guns and big-eared aliens, you somehow end up with authentic science fiction. In other words, Alpha Centauri is far more than just Civilization III, and while it was made by the same team that did Civilization I and II and shares all of those games' conventions and designs, it goes far enough beyond the old ones that I'm not likely to go back.įor starters, the setting's changed: in Alpha Centauri you colonize an unknown, alien planet rather than explore the broad sweep of Earth history. Its design has been aged and distilled by worried, loving cellarers the result is gaming bliss, mead for the connoisseur's glass. Alpha Centauri is the work of a master vintner it's been carefully crafted, each ingredient examined, every process mulled over. I am not sure about the moddable assets files but if these are for the game itself then aren't they meant more for changing the characteristics of game entities rather than adding more of an existing entity to your character inventory or any one of the chests in the world.Not this. I think that is what the thread OP is requesting. That is the only way I can see you adding items to your character or world. Just wanted to chime in here even though this thread is over 3 years old now, the userdata and world files are all binary files and binary files tend to be very particular about what you can use to open them so unless we know what application they were created with we cannot edit the files. Go back in game and every time you use a baby potion it should reset to the amount you chose. Then click on the small box by the changed amount and you should see a red X.
Double click on that amount and it well add it to the box below, Then click on the amount to change it to something like 999. There should only be one recorded amount in the left box. Go back in game and use a baby potion( You need to cheat engine search diffrent ammounts of the same item or it wont find it) Then put the new amount in the scan box and click next scan.
Go back in game and see how many baby potions you have, Then enter that amount in the scan box in cheat engine, Then click next scan. Click on new process, Then click on Planet Centauri. So find a small teeny tiny health potions(you can use those without a cool down) Once you have a stack of baby health potions, Alt tab out of the game and open cheat engine. So everyone here should know what cheat engine is, For those who don't it's a tool made to edit in game stats like health etc.
