Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire Secret Project: The Planetary Energy Grid

From the videogame known as Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire, the expansion pack to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, this is the secret project video for The Planetary Energy Grid.

Secret project details:
Cost: 300
Prerequisite Technology: Adaptive Economics
Effect: Free Energy Bank in every base. Stockpile Energy produces 25% higher returns.

"The ancient Chinese had a name for it: Feng Shui. We call it energy flow. It is the same thing, the same thought: energy is everywhere, but only a fraction of it is tapped by humans for their purposes. Now the Progenitors have taught us that we can tap not only our own latent abilities, but the latent abilities of the Universe itself."
-- Prophet Cha Dawn, "Planet Rising"

cha dawn is supposed to be a boy, right? it sounds like a girl plays his voice.

[matsku84]

Maybe he's still just a kid :D! According to Firaxis he's only 114cm tall and weighs 27 kilos.

[AethericOracle]

Are the energy paths they speak of supposed to be based off of ley lines or is this some parallel theory? Nice animation btw.

[matsku84]

I have absolutely no idea! You should ask someone at Firaxis or maybe even Sid Meier himself :D!

[Kizor]

Probably not. You can't throw a brick in scifi without hitting at least three ancient, vanished/returning civilizations named Precursors, Progenitors, Ancients, Old Ones, First Ones, Elder Ones, Pri-somethings, Pro-somethings and/or Those Really Old Bastards Who Made This Superweapon That We're Fighting And Got Themselves Killed.

You people actually think that Feng Shui came from Final Fantasy?!

[TheCreatorOf4]

I don't care if he is still a kid, he sounds like a total fag.

@OrcishSlacker Wow, they totally stole not only the design but the CAMERA ANGLES from the FF7 Makou Cannon.

@Orion6699

All this talk about ACentauri made me install it again. No problem running it on a Dual Core Win 7 64-bit. Go to Firaxis homepage and click support and run the patch + win 2000 / xp fix.

@spartan289

No one really knows, though...

[RandomString]

It's funny that this video gets a lot of hits for "alien energy " search terms :)

[RICKYBOY98]

this is a final fantasy part... o_0

[goatshredder]

@matsku84 Bloody grass munching vegetards. That would account for it

[shinra18]

@Kemonokami

Nah just the city design :3

[OrcishSlacker]

Well, THAT was an obvious nod to FFVII.
