Aliens hate aliens

I played a couple of smacx games with all alien factions. One with 6 caretaker & 1 usurper and one the other way. I saw that all alien factions are at perma war with all alien factions (at least from the time of contact) even the ones of the same flavor. Those arthropods just can't seem to get along together.

You know, I was kind of disappointed when I didn't have a chance to tear off the mandibles of H'minee's face using hot pincers when I defeated her...

It is supposed to be alien caretakers hate usurpers, not caretakers hate other caretakers and usurpers hate other usurpers. I thought I would set up a quick game , without having to alter the files, of six factions all at war to the death with me. Instead they killed the hell of each other.

Over at Network Node (www.networknode.org), under custom factions, Zeta set, there is an "alien civil war" series, featuring 6 alien factions and one overpowered human faction. The Aliens go at it. If you even make friends with just one of them, you got 5 aliens at your front door. not funny. If the human faction wasn't so overpowered, it would quickly find itself in a huge heap of pincers in a hurry. Makes for an interesting game, I'll tell you THAT.

If you really have a yen for playing that, try it. I have.. it's fun. Nice for a conquest-type of game.
