Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire

Secret Firaxian faction:
Start the Faction Editor. Select "Open" and type sid. Select "Save" and save it as sid. Then, click "Add Faction". This may also be done using brian as a name.

Game editor:
Press [Ctrl] + K and answer "Yes" to the prompt. Press [Shift] + a function key while in the editor to activate various functions.

Hint: Energy locations:
The energy amounts are located at the following offsets on the Huge Map :

Akizeta Faction: 10,672
Svensgaard Faction: 19,068
Doma Faction: 27,464
Roze Faction: 35,860
Cha Fawn Faction: 44,256
H'minee Faction: 52,652
Mann Faction: 61,048

Hint: Pirates: Resources:
When playing as the Pirates, nutrients and energy are easy to acquire. Make mineral production a priority at your base locations. Increase your energy production with Tidal Harnesses, and your income will easily rival that of the wealthy Morganites.

Hint: Combat:
In alien-vs.-human combat, keep using nerve gas. Because there are no interspecies atrocities, the discovery of High Energy Chemistry (which enables Nerve Gas Pods) is as important as learning to build Needle Jets with Doctrine: Air Power.

Hint: Cybernetic Consciousness:
The Cybernetic Consciousness steal technologies when they conquer a base and do not have any significant drawbacks when playing a military game. They should be played as aggressively as the Spartans or Believers against their weaker neighbors.
