BRIEFING AND OBJECTIVES

    It is the 23rd Century and different races are just beginning to discover warp drive, and explore and colonize the vastness of the Final Frontier - Space. As per the events depicted in Star Trek - First Contact, the BORG have arrived (not next to Earth thankfully) but in this time-line the Enterprise-E does not go back in time to save everyone from assimilation. A battle for domination in the Alpha Quadrant then ensues.

    Your Objective is to kill the BORG and Destroy the other two major races. You need 5 objective points to win decisively. The game begins in March 2200 and ends in June 2362. This is equivalent to 650 turns of three months each.

     

     IMPORTANT

    There is a batchfile called ChooseRace which you must run before starting the scenario. This will help you to get the right set of events for race you are playing. The different sets of event files serve only to enhance AI and will all seem the same to the human player.

    There is also an optional planetary screen, city.gif, which should replace the same file in the main civ directory. Make sure you rename the original city.gif (like to Ocity.gif) or move it to a safe place.

     

     HOUSE RULES

    There is a stupid bug in the game engine which allows you to take any advance the AI player has after the AI has agreed to trade a specific advance with you. Do not choose any advance other than the one offered - this is considered CHEATING and besides it will spoil the game.

    Do not rename any cities as some of them are required for events to occur.

    Borg technology is not meant for the other races and any attempt to acquire Borg specific technology may result in the acquiring race being destroyed. Incidently if you have the Memory Prime (Great Library) Wonder and another race is destroyed by their greed for Borg tech, you will be destroyed as well.
