Yet another Video from Sid Meier's Space Strategy Franchise

I’m of course talking about the series that includes the totally superb strategy game Alpha Centauri (I gave it 9.4 out of 10) and it’s great expansion pack Alien Crossfire (8.7 out of 10). Over the course of the almost two years that I’ve been a Youtuber, I’ve been uploading videos from both these great games. I started off with their introduction videos and made my way through the secret project videos of Alpha Centauri and its expansion pack. After a while I uploaded two requested videos: What happens when you loose the game if a rival faction transcends before you, and a video introducing The New Factions of Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire. All except the last one are included in the embedded playlist below.



If you're having problems with the first video (Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Intro) you can download it from FileFront using the link below.

Alpha Centauri Intro
Until a fellow Youtuber mentioned it on a comment, I had totally forgotten about another ending video, so now I’m honored to present Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire: Progenitor Victory embedded below along with its description.



This is what happens in the strategy PC videogame expansion pack Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire when either of the alien (Progenitor) races achieves a Progenitor victory by completing the Resonance Communicator. It's comprised of 6 Subspace Generators (Required tech: Singularity Mechanics) constructed in 6 bases of at least size 10. The Resonance Communicator allows the alien faction to send signals to their home fleets in a far distant portion of the galaxy. The power of these fleets is well beyond the combined abilities of all the humans on the Planet to combat, so when communication occurs and the fleets arrive, the humans (and the other Progenitor faction) must capitulate.

The Progenitor victory videos for the Carertakers and Usurpers are exactly the same, except for the color of the arriving fleet. Even so I put both in one vid so anyone can't complain about leaving either one out. Enjoy =)!
