the mod seems interesting. Anyone here has ever played it?
I played the Civ III mod and story-wise it's not very clear, as it takes factions from Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout tactics all together, and begins exactly in 2077, so you have the Unity, Vault 8, the Enclave, the Shi, Arroyo and the Brotherhood all with bases in the continental US exactly when 2077 rolls in. That killed a bit of the possible immersion for me.
The design is a bit ugly, but with a Fallouty feel so I can forgive that. The talking heads from Fallout replace the Leaders' heads from Civ, so you negotiate with Aradesh of NCR, Rhombus of the Brotherhood, and so on. Technology-wise, it's a good take: you begin just as crappy as if you'd just been hit by a nuclear war (well, the game DOES begin in 2077 exactly) so you begin the first ages rediscovering pre-war technology, and the last ages finding new uses for it (vertibirds, i.e.). The terrain is just beautiful, and by beautiful I mean utterly destroyed
It's helluva fun despite its flaws, because it's the mix of two awesome games: Civilization and Fallout.
