I know I'm way late to the party, but...Rising Tide version when? Human Hive is such a big concept in Alpha Centauri.

Any plans to make this and the remaining SMAC factions playable with RT?

Doesn't work with RT.

does not work with RT. will not show up as a race choice.

Doesn't work. Loaded them all in /mods, activated them all in the mods screen, no new civs to choose from.

I actually purposely lowered the health cap when the patch came out. The entire crux of the trait is that the human hive can't earn bonuses from extra health. I am considering removing their culture penalty because you are right, the patch made the health bonuses much stronger.

I think the health cap should be increased a little bit more as in vanilla civ beyond earth there are cumulative bonuses for excess health

I have not tried it in multiplayer. I don't see why not if you follow the usual multiplayer-mod install instructions.

Can this mod be used in a multiplayer game?

You. Are. Awesome.

After subscribing, launch Beyond Earth. On the main menu, rather than clicking single/multi-player, click mods. This will bring up a list of mods you have successfully subscribed and downloaded.

The game will not download a mod until you enter this menu, so give it a little time to catch up and download all the latest mods you've subscribed too before they show up. Sometimes, a mod will have trouble downloading and installing. If this is the case it will not show up on the list and you can come back and ask here for more instructions.

In this menu, you can select which mods to enable to disable for play. All mods start disabled so be sure to select the ones you want to play with. Once you are done, you can continue. The game will take a little time to reconfigure it's data and set the mods up. You can than set up a game and play with the mods you installed. Hope this helps and come back if you have more questions or feedback!

this is along with two other civs as well. Please help on information how to add them to use for play in the game.

I have subscribed to the upload and cannot figure out how to add it to the roster to choose them for play.

只玩过beyond earth。。。

谢谢您！你有玩过Alpha Centauri吗? 还是你只玩过Beyond Earth?

They generate -33% unhealth from population and city count. This means a normal faction with 8 cities and 40 population, and Yang with 12 cities and 60 population generate the exact same amount of unhealth. It works similarly to India's bonus in Civ5.

Sorry, I don't understand what advantages are in playing as The Human Hive. Could you explain please?

I think side specific penalties are a concept that hasn't been explored enough in recent civs. I can easily see how they can be considered politically incorrect in Civ5, but CivBE is a science fiction game and the genre of science fiction has a rich history of political/social commentary.

I believe SMAC owes a lot of its lasting appeal to its leaders and the social commentary tied to them. Each leader's bonuses and penalties said something about the daily lives their people lead. Player's could play with the consequences of different idealogies, economic and political systems, and social values, good and bad.

My designs certainly diverge from the opptimistic nature of the original sponsors, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Not everything in this game has to be a straight bonus, and it makes for more interesting gameplay to plan around both strengths and weaknesses.

Sorry, but that's a really shitty Civ (in terms of the "bonuses")

@Morgan Pain: I don't really know if that's true. Consider that the Human Hive can support 50% more population and cities than a sponsor with equivalent positive health, I think it's a pretty good advantage. If you time it properly, you can get larger than the other sponsors without investing in culture as you said. Yes health isn't much of an issue if you grab some prosperity policies, but by playing as the hive, you can use those policies towards somewhere else.

@Caribou: I'm a bit inclined to agree with you. In the end, a bonus of 25% rather than 33% just didn't feel very fun to play though. I'm conflicted about it ultimately.

Since health isnt a problem on any difficulty if yoy focus a little on culture and select the correct virtues, this is a wery weak faction. You get an immense health (200 + easy and increasing for each new city), and use most of the game tweaking your culture to get an virtue every 5 round. playing this faction gives no bonus, only restrains...

Nostalgic! But seems a bit too strong in the current BE game. Need to balance it out with a production penalty as well.

@giupmat: I'll be releasing the 7th sponsor soon, so I'll post a link to a package that contains all 7 of them when that happens. Hopefully you can wait till then.

@peachmelba53: I thought the inefficiency immunity Yang had in SMAC was far more characteristic of his sides idealogy than the extra defense, so I decided to focus on that instead. I may or may not implement it more as a social engineering bonus once I start working on those formally.

Ehi guys, are the mod files avasilable outside Steam? I don't have yet a copy of the game, but I'd like to translate this mod in italian.

back during Alpha Centauri,did not play this one much. mostly spartan and morgan industries. could use it as ai playaer thou would not play as.

no increased defense like in Alpha?

nice
