Best mix of factions
I just got the Alien Crossfire expansion and I wanted to know what you all thought the best mix of factions from the original game and the expansion was. I just can't find that perfect combination.

I HATE being attacked by other factions, so the best combo for as little war as possible (unless YOU choose) is...
Consciousness (you)
Angels
Morganites
Gaians
Peacekeepers
Pirates
University

The first seven facions are the best mix in my opinion.

For the last couple of months this is the combo that I have used. I have SMAX and like the new factions but the original list seems to be the natural combination. I think the Pirates fit in well against any six of the original factions though.

If you are a real glutton for punishment, try what Blake and I have been experimenting with in the thread "Rebalancing SMACX factions."
Back up factions txt files and Alpahax.txt.
Using either the faction editor or notepad, edit the text files as follows:
Reset all factions to -1,0,1,1,1 on the parameter line in their .txt definitions. This makes them all "Pacifist" with an interest in discovery, technology and growth.
Give them each a starting former.
Change the settings for Power and Fundy in the Alphax.txt to add +1 police.
Optionally, preforest your world by creating a map yourself and dotting it with forests. The forests grow naturally.
Take Domai or Miriam.
AI: Zakarov, Aki, Diedre, LAL, Rose and Yang or the Cult.
Play Transcend.
If you win, report back. It will be a miracle.
