Alpha Centauri - Morgan Industries - Episode 1

[@selsuru]

This game blows civ out of the water and even more so the later civ games.

[@FaerieFire]

Nah. The newer civs are a lot better.

[@lord6617]

You make such joke, much funny, 10/10 would laugh again.

[@Rshields388]

"Please don't go...the drones need you....they look up to you.." :(

[@Green-Raccoon777]

The drones look up to Morgan Freeman? That's not surprising.

[@CerpinTxt87]

The greatest thing about Beyond Earth is that it rekindled my interest in this game.

[@parikshithegde1313]

+CerpinTxt87 shame beyond earth could not measure up to this game.

[@nLpTrails2]

Your first Alpha Centauri LP was the first LP of yours I ever watched, and was actually the reason I subbed. It makes me very happy to see a new one come out. Keep up the great work!

[@Soshiplayz]

Turn complete! Turn complete! Turn Complete! Turn Complete!

[@ElliottBelser]

Pro tip: give your terraformers Hypnotic Trance. Not only will this make mind worms blow up when they try to take them out, but you get to make "more than meets the eye" jokes.

[@alexgeddes4140]

They MUST remake this game with better graphics and make every just BETTER.

[@OneCreator87]

Beyond earth failed lol

[@saberdon2341]

but beyond earth was a diffrent game from Alpha Centauri

Thank you Quill for doing LP Alpha Centauri again! I'd only recently discovered the game from your previous LP and I was very disappointed it finished so abruptly.

[@acabforcutie]

I'm so happy you're doing another Alpha Centauri Let's Play!

[@KaterinaPwns]

THANK YOU QUILL

[@drow_Lilith9940]

this is my frist time watching one of your LP from the start to end i am so happy i been wathcing for you to do this game again

[@vhhawk]

So glad you decided to do a LP of this with the Alien Crossfire expansion. I have the original game w/o expansion and played it again just last year. Great game, interesting faction leaders.

[@HoosierJedi]

Glad to see you doing an LP of this. I love AC though I've never seen anyone play as Morgan. I'm even happier you remembered how important Recreation Commons are. So many people forget that.

[@codyashworth7470]

Watching in 2018, quill is so young looking. Crazyness

[@Jymm]

Sid Meier's ALPHA CENTAURI is one of my favorite games. Having no luck getting my old copy to run, I downloaded it from GoG. I then did a search for a Let's Play and found an excellent one by ...Quill18! :) I subbed to his channel, but I put the game aside. Since I didn't have the expansion. I've been waiting for the expansion on GoG and waiting for Quill to do another LP. Now I have both! What a great Christmas present, Thanks!

[@jack_L858]

thank god! Watched the original LP and this in my sub box was a very welcome sight

[@skyshield584]

Morgan industry's should have had Morgan Freeman done the cutsceens voice overs for them

[@Cybetrexs1337]

The fedora screams incel, but that jawline is chad level. On a more serious note, I love watching you play this game, so many youtubers overlook old gems like SMAS, and small youtubers like you who give these classics the respect they deserve is amazing. keep going my guy.

[@EinsiJo]

mine + farm on rolling/moist tiles is actually worse than just planting a forest there. The mine will negate the extra nutrient from the farm (giving you only 1) while only producing 2 minerals. Meanwhile, a forest will give you the same amount in nutrients and minerals while also giving you an extra energy.

[@MarvelousFortress]

Been waiting for you to play this Quill, Can't wait to see what happens.

[@sheckylee5760]

The absolute best sid meier's game i've played so far. And now I can play it on W7! Thanks for the link.

[@quill18]

This sounds like it would be fast, and incredibly fun. I'll try to fit it into my schedule somewhere.

[@stephenlyon1358]

Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone

[@SkullHeroLord]

Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body to embrace the self of group, and the self of humanity. The goals of the group, and of the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment.

[@MarcDufresneosorusrex]

That quote has very profound implications (for the concept "of the individual") it always puzzled me to .. like well "be a part of the group" vs "use your personal creativity"... which one is more important. Plus I loved clearing fungus.. hue hue hue... does anyone have a clue why the fungus would go bonkers when you were about to clean it off your territory.? was that part of the initial programming? that fungus was just like "SCREW YOU, YOURE NOT GETTING RID OF ME, BANG BANG BANG" xd

[@crashbanman]

I freaking loved this game. It was so well made and it is completely plausible science fiction. Such a gem.

[@Zefobenga]

hey quill, you are just THE guy when it comes up to games and RPG. I watched your D&D games and enjoyed it very much. I would love to participate in one of them

[@yaniv24]

Another classic. A Quill18 classic i mean.

[@johnpooky84]

I bought this game from either Staples or Office Depot when it came out in '99. I recently got it again on GOG, because of this video :).

[@GutsnoKen]

Xeno Fungus sound like something you catch by being unprotected on a Rave.

Was just gonna say... diggin' that hat.

[@General12th]

Sadly for the stereotype, Quill is happily married. No friendzone for him.

[@Salvor_Hardin_42]

YES!!! More Alpha Centauri please! My favorite game ever.

[@bsaksida]

One of my favorite games. I wish they would make a sequel.

[@loszhor]

Morganites FTW!

[@ChiaroscuroxX]

WOOOO! this was the natural progression after the space win

[@bigjigyeah]

Yay! An Alpha Centauri lets play

[@Drecon84]

Yes! I f-ing love Alpha Centauri.

Cannot wait, i love this game

everybody bow down to quill leader of the known universe

[@TheGamingBadger2]

I just bought a new gaming PC as a Christmas present to myself but its Windows 8 and a lot of the games i'm playing currently arn't supported by it but this game works with Win8 (according to the GOG page) so Quill I may of completely forgotten about this game if it hadn't been for you. It was one of my favourite games when I was younger and its great I finally get to go back to it (and use as a back up plan if most of my games don't work on my new Win8 PC)

[@sean969uk]

It's my birthday today, this is a good start :D

[@echothebm]

[@zmf12975]

Alpha Centauri is such a great game.

[@DisturbedGamer667]

great, I loved your previous (if uncomplete) LP, now all that's let is your full earth map civ 5 as the english, and Fallout: NV LPs

[@woodwyrm]

Seriously, Quill, I love ya.

[@tonberrytoby]

00:40 Oh my god. Finally. I can't believe this wasn't shouted about all over the Internet.

[@dfghj241]

i prefer playing with the random research thingy.

love this game + love quill, this is going to be good :p

[@Voron_Aggrav]

SMAX i absolutely love Shame Darn youtube brings it to me on the day i go to friends for a week...

[@MrBigTorp]

Man...Alpha Centauri..I rate it the best of the Civ series...And that includes the board game Civ was based on. Morgan is one faction that can afford to sell some techs cheaply. But, hey, I'm only here for the nostalgia!!

Hello! I have a problem. I want to make a gameplay for alpha centauri in spanish but i don´t have the correct program. What program do you use to record the screen with the game? thank you very much

[@MetaSkipper]

I see where the Mayans went....

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

THis..game..is..aweSOME.. for anyone that not got it , go to gog now , buy it..you get a patched install file that you can have on a usb or other random drive , no red tape install and play no steam shit like ''couldet connect to bla bla do you want to play offline ? -in the cases those games CAN be played ofline at all that is''

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and yes..you can mod nearly all things ingame ..dont like the deafult units ?.. build your own in the workshop... chose agendas for your civ , and msot fun of all...act like a mad man ( such as constantly change your allies and backstab them^^ or use nukes or bio wepons )..and the ai will treat you like one

[@zerkon2]

Just saw this today on chrsitmas eve and oh my god is that a present ! :)

[@MrJonnycm]

holy crap I remember this game. I bought it from staples of all places, and I can remember it taking me a few weeks to figure out how to install lol

[@BlueCometACE]

My latest game was SMAC Morgan on Thinker and it was by far my greatest game to date. Only I had a gorgeous land mass to work with and at best could only have Blood Truce since I was incredibly hated by every faction on planet (running FM for a lot of the early game). Hated Morgan is too fun lol

[@stephangoodwin]

@Quill You should be aware that the cities don't optimize terrain use when you do terraforming. So, when you built the forest, you should have switched a worker to it, as the city won't do it itself. I think it will fix when you grow one. If you keep building colony pods though, it may not reset.

[@NuklearniRodjo]

sid's team needs to do a second alpha centauri. This looks fucking awesome.

[@BoomerLazlo]

@RandomTurtle21x you can still run most your games using compatiblity mode. Google it for in depth explanation, but its as simple as selecting the properties of the application.

[@Reecer77]

Turn complete. Turn complete. Turn complete.

[@Zefobenga]

Concerning Alphs Centauri, i still play it nowadays and think present games are no match for it :> And the Morganites are my favorite faction. So much money/energy... and it is all mine!!!

[@tobz5050]

can you let us see the ingame storyline though, like the building quotes and tech quotes, and the worm interlude things, this game has a great story and plot

[@Adjuni]

Played Morgan once and covered the planet in forests with the two tree farms in my cities. Made bank.

[@EuropeanQoheleth]

Morgan in a nutshell; "We've got to have...money."

[@Darkninja282]

ok this just looks awesome I am going to buy it! :D

[@DrKuryakin]

i know old vid, but you are in very good position to get human brain as morgan, you already have one of the necesarry techs to do it research biogenetics first then social psych and human brain tech is open

[@bbgun061]

I came here from the future Deirdre campaign. I once cornered the global energy market as Morgan.

[@lexguttman]

Just bought it at GOGames. Thank you for that bit of awesome info. You, quite litteraly, made my day xD! Also, to everyone that is thinking about it, it's $2.99, three bucks for this awesome game...so worth it!

[@AdvocateofOdin]

OOHHHH MY GOD ALPHA CENTAURI, EREGHGEHGH YYYYES. Nerdgasm aside, i love how they released Alien Crossfire in a patch

[@sirfinleygaming9490]

I bought the game on offer from GOG games. Unfortunately I am disappointed with the graphics and screen resolution. The game looks blurry and grainy compared to yours. Especially the units, they look blurred. Is there an option in game to set higher graphics setting? Does anyone have any ideas to improve the graphics and make them more sharp, crisp and stable, in windows 7. My computer spec are windows 7, 64 bit operating, amd radeon HD7700 series if that helps.

[@mrluga]

There is a way to get it widescreen, just google search Widescreen for Alpha centauri, simple as just adding a line to the ini file (remember to backup the file)

[@junker154]

Unfortunately the game is pretty dated in terms of graphics and there are basically no animations to speak of. Anyway there is a way to adapt the game to your resolution. In your gog folder of the game there is a AlphaCentauri.ini file and you only have to add the line "ddraw=0" and save the file. Now the game should run at your native resolution although it has some black bars underneath the bottom bar, which is fine though.

[@родионмаловица-у9э]

13:34 Gotta love that face.

[@mamagz]

Quill this has really nothing to do with the video, but i want to star played civ games so should i get civ IV or V?

[@hyperion00]

The GOG file seems way too small to be complete. Do you get all 14 factions and the movies? The game has been rereleased by Sold Out software and is available on amazon.

[@nachuelas]

Quill18, how did you record this?. What program used to record this gameplay?. Please, respond.

[@FreakinfreakInfreaki]

Hopefully I can learn how to play it by watching you. I've been very interested but have had no Idea on how to play it.

[@coffeeboybgd]

Thanks for this...

[@OldmansCC]

Since I am so very lucky to be one of the first here... QUILL PLEASE PLAY MAJESTY! Either the old or new one (I would like to hear your opinion on Majesty 2). If you said you never played it I would not believe you. It is just the kind of game you like, kingdom management. By the way, I am about to buy Alpha Centauri. What I like most about the game is the insanely awesome title =P. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@JoseMiguel1900]

SMACX!!!!!!!!!! Loved it on Win 98, couldn't get it to run on XP/7, let me check your advices and videos. :) My favourite faction was Gaia, for Paradigma economy setting and capturing mind worms to terrorize both humans and AI players. I played online, using 33 kbit DIalUp in the Firaxis matchmaking, before the bastards shut it down. Loved the future technologies and voice overs: "In the great common of Gaia's Landing, we can see a tall beautifull tree.."

[@snorlax42]

People have problems running this game on Windows 7? I've never had that problem. I wonder what I'm doing differently >.>

[@Jargen13]

He's euphoric.

[@quill18]

The base game comes with the expansion automatically.

[@awordabout...3061]

Look how young wee Quill looks!

[@Mendafaen]

OH MU GURD!! OHMEHGERD!!! ITS HERE!! YEAH!!

[@Camotan12]

Morgan Industries...HEY wait a second... I didn't know that Morgan Freeman had his own line of industries.

[@Tentflup]

You have an awesome hat

[@MrAskmannen]

EPIC FEDORA BUDDY :^D

[@shaneasprey9734]

I thought this was a faction based on Morgan Freeman.

[@Zorro9129]

I hope a modernized version of Alpha Centauri comes out. Imagine this game with Civ V graphics!

[@117superdude]

Does it run normally on widescreen resolutions though, without any hassle?

[@AnyPRKL]

Hey quill18! Have you ever considered doing a LP of the "Planetfall" SMAC mod for CIV IV? :)

[@RainbowLizardOne]

Univ = Maya, Spartans = Danish, Believers = Japan, Peacekeepers = India, Hive = Askia, Morgans = England, Gaians = Celts

[@freakkyser]

and i thought civ 4 was overhelming.......i was thinking of getting this game, is there a tutorial that explains all the things or do you just experiment

[@junker154]

It's very overwhelming at first but it isn't that complex later on once you have figured out how the system works. There are some parts of the game that you can leave untouched and just auto-govern. The main issue is that the game hasn't aged all that well, it's fairly playable but some of the menus are pretty convoluted. I recommend starting with the base game without the expansion. Watching lps, especially the one from Quill helps out a lot. Hope you can get into it!

[@freakkyser]

***** iv never played civ 5 or beyond earth but i actally wanted to get beyond earth, people say its the same as civ 5 but iv never played so it will till be new to me :P

[@freakkyser]

***** alright thanks for advice

[@JawzX]

+freakkyser grab civ v in a steam sale with all the DLC; assuming you have all the DLC it's quite good. That lead me to Alpha C and hence to this video. Prior to Civ V, I never played a 4x (for what that is worth). I can't say at this point whether Alpha C is 'better" than Civ V. I do enjoy both for the time being.
