Pandora: First Contact

[player1]

Pandora: First Contact is a science fiction 4X turn-based strategy game on a planetary scale, inspired by Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

In the future, factions have risen up from opportunities and ideologies independent of governments. Private corporations and religious movements have started wars over greed, ideology and power. Many have died and many lands lay in ruin. Planet Earth has been exhausted and colonial attempts on other planetary bodies have been in vain.

Finally, after decades of exploration, an interstellar probe has brought promise of a new world many light-years away. The most powerful factions have gathered their best men and women to send on a long journey to Pandora.

Far from desolate, the earth-like planet has been found to host a plethora of indigenous life forms. While the gigantic monstrosities inland and at the oceans seem relatively calm, human-sized bugs and fungus are threatening to stop mankind's expansion.

As the various factions strive to take control, each will research and develop numerous new technologies, discovering new weapons and industry, whilst opening trade agreements and forging alliances with other factions to gain a foothold. As they spread, they will discover ancient ruins from alien civilizations that will grant them advantages over their rivals.

Let's play za one koji oce da dobiju vise informacija o igri:

Da li je igrao neko, može li da se poredi sa Alpha Centauri?

[player1]

Igra je pristojna, ali verovato nema dubinu ACa ili nekog novijeg Civ-a (ipak je to projekat od petoro ljudi).

Combat sistem najvise podseca na Civ3 (stacks, plus jedinice koje napadaju "na daljinu", sa susednog polja, kao snajperi), u kombinaciji sa workshopom.

Research tree je potpuno random, a na pocetku partije imas opciju da podesis koliko "duboko" u drvetu mozes da vidis tehnologije.

Sistemi za ekonomiju su prilicno originalni:
*rast zavisi od totalne populacije, a ne hrane
*rast dodatno modifikovan migracijama (veci/manji rast u zavisnosti od lokalne srece)
*lokalna proizvodnja zahteva minerale
*hrana, minerali i research idu u globani pool
*ljude postavljas ili da skupljaju hratu ili minerale, cime zauzimaju polje na mapi grada skupljajuci samo to (a ne kao u civ, kombinaciju svega sa tog polja)
*ili da rade proizvodnju i research


U startu igre ima dosta lokalne faune, koje je prvo pasivna (iskoristiti vreme za scouting), a zatim progresivno postaje agresivna, prvo slabije vrste, a kasnije jace. Mada se samo "insekti" spawnuju sa raznih lokacija na mapi, tako da kad se one ociste, pitanje je vremena pocistiti ostatak jace faune.
