Meandering thoughts
Following are a few meandering queries.
Having finally gotten PTW to work over the LAN I am finding this game to be some fun. It was fun as a single player game, too. Anyway...
I don't know how much you can do with the scenario editor. Is it possible to add another technological era? I didn't like CTP (the activision released civ like game) in general but I did kind of like the near future technologies and units.
Also, is there a known way to set up an allied victory? You could fix it up in Alpha Centauri so that you could win the game as an alliance, such as hummies against the computer or some combination of hummies against your friends. I haven't seen any such allowance in PTW.
Speaking of Alpha Centauri, is there an existing futuristic scenario like Alpha Centauri already in existance for CTP?
Well, continue having fun.

No, I'm afraid not. The eras have been hardcoded, it's not possible to add another.

In single player that's not possible but I don't know about MP. I don't really have any interest in that myself.

Allied Victory
Yes, this is possible in a MP game...at least in a MP LAN game I played with my partner. What happended was we (my partner and I) had an alliance against the remaining AI Civ. I ended up taking the last AI city and the game ended in victory because the two remaining players (my partner and I) had an alliance.

Aha, it must be a sort of automatic thing.
We stayed out of alliances as to not drag each other into wars before one or the other was ready. So to the game, I suppose, we were independent entities.

Actually jdd, with the latest patch (currently only for US versions), the stability of the game has improved dramatically - of course there's still a few hic-ups concerning the use of Bombers and Nukes, but I believe Firaxis will be addressing this shortly (1-2 months I hope).
