SMAX Factions The Cult of Planet

Play as Prophet Cha Dawn, leader of the Cult of Planet, from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire.

Clearing Alien Nests domesticates them rather than destroys them. Domesticated nests produce production, culture, and health, along with improving the xenomass resource. Nests owned by Cha Dawn regularly produce alien units.
Alien units that intrude in Cult territory are automatically captured.
-20% worker speed and -20% production towards buildings.

The faction excels at integrating and leveraging the planet's native life, but their austerity and respect for the planet means poor infrastructure development.


_________________________
initial upload (v1):
- The Cult of Planet domesticates rather than clears alien nests. Domesticated nests provide substantial yields (+2 health, +2 production, +2 culture) and will improve underlying xenomass for +3 food.
- Domesticated nests that are within Cult borders will periodically spawn aliens under the cult's control. Spawning can be stopped by stationing a unit within the nest.
- Alien units that enter cult territory are automatically captured. This includes colossal units like seige worms.

update (v2):
- Added support for Social Engineering

Planned future changes: .
- Implement trait as an invisible building rather than the current, very visible building.
- Balance changes as more factions are developed and feedback is received.


There's a serious issue that affects many sponsor mods with custom leaderscenes. The mods can cause the game to crash to desktop when used in conjunction with the default civs. A current fix is to play the game with the leaderscenes set to minimum. In the meantime, modders are investigating a proper fix. You can do your part by notifying Firaxis of this widespread issue.
