'The war has changed.' It seems like the ending of almost every story we tell is just an opening to a new beginning, and this has been one the of narrative strengths of video games as a medium. If you hadn't played the game, you'd have thought that the assassination of the UN Starship Unity's captain, and the subsequent destruction of the ship, was the end of the story of our brave colonists. However, it is merely but the beginning stage of our experience as players. Into this political maelstrom we are thrust, cast as leaders of factions not divided by petty geographical borders or racial heritage, but by something far stronger, and arguably far more dangerous: ideology and belief. The question you had to ask yourself wasn't 'What civilization should I lead?'
But instead was, 'What do I want to believe in?' Whether you believed in being a Tree-Hugging Hippie, a Contrite Peacenik, a Religious Zealot, or a Militaristic Patriot, all of your choices had a tantalizing set of strengths and weaknesses, in addition to a morally justifiable ground upon which to stand. Sure, you may have been conquering land and taking cities, just like in every other 4X strategy game you'd played before, but this was potentially something deeper - in a war between duelling beliefs, an idea is not as easy to kill as a fortified Synthmetal Garrison.Given the grand, sweeping futuristic context presented to the player, it was no coincidence that the team at Firaxis Games, led by famed game designer Brian Reynolds, consulted some of the greatest works of science fiction to help create the world of Alpha Centauri. If the massively successful Civilization II had drawn upon the greatest moments in history as the basis for its world, then any game which would hope to succeed it would have to draw upon the greatest visionaries for the future for the world to come. The 'Suggested Reading' section at the end of the game's exhaustive manual outlines the books that Reynolds and his team used as inspiration to flesh out the world of the game, and it reads like a shortlist of some of the most hardcore SF/F available, including Frank Herbert's Dune, and Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars. With some Issac Asimov and Carl Sagan tossed in for good measure, of course. Later, ruthless iteration and playtesting of the game at its earliest stages led to a finely-tuned set of play mechanics that were well-balanced for both single-player and multiplayer game scenarios.Pages:1Crossing Over: Alpha Centauri.
