Civ/Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
This is a strategy guide for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and its expansion pack, Alien Crossfire. Occasionally the game and its expansion are seen in a composite package called Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack; the software included in this package is identical to the original releases with all the patches applied.
As should be obvious, the guide still needs a lot of work. All SMACers are encouraged to help out. Of course, normal wiki etiquette applies: if you disagree with a non-factual statement, list your opinion along with it, and confer with others if you wish to make gargantuan changes. Have fun and welcome!
