Default Re: What's so terrible about Centrum anyway?

Has anyone considered adding a more 'good guy' power? A world trying to spread the tech and create something like an interworld UN?

Basically how would Homeline and Centrum react to discovering the ITA, or something like them? http://www.ahtg.net/alterframe.html

They'd be nuked by Homeline and Centrum in no time...

It's not that hard to reverse the roles, actually. It never worked out, but I was planning on running a competative campaign: one party from Homeline, one party from Centrum (who called their world "Homeline", and Homeline "Infinity") and have them run intrigues against each other.

You'd have to have an alliance of multiple worlds actively attempting to destroy Homeline and Centrum.

They're not so bad.. if you don't mind the dystopian theme. Too ruthless for my liking.

With our Infinity Ops campaign, we portrayed the Centrans as being somewhat brain-washed MiBs, run by a vaguely evil empire.
Worst of the bunch was the third faction, added after watching Equilibrium.
We added in the Librians, complete with their gun-crazy 'clerics', compulsory Prozium addictions and complete intolerance of dissenters.
Final mission had them trying to spread the virus from 28 Days Later to Homeline-controlled parallels. We destroyed their evil plans, along with an entire parallel, party included, for a respectable 'draw'.

(The Homeliners themselves weren't that great, either. 2nd mission had us brutally slaughtering Centran sympathisers on a 20th C. echo at the behest of our AI Monitor.)

The Centrum is considered Evil because:
1) the other side is our earth, so is easily interpretate the infinity;
2) the Centrum would inglobe in his system more world as possible, populated or not, altough infinity has a sort of Prime Directive...
3) In the manual is written how you can make a Centrum campaign... so I think that Centrum isn't Evil and Infinity isn't Good... simply, is easy to play with Infinity player...
