Custom Scenarios and Maps Having put your design skills to use, you might want to test out your custom scenarios or maps against other computer and human opponents. Before beginning the multiplayer game, make sure all the files related to your custom scenario or map are located in the same directory. You should create a new directory (don't use the Alpha Centauri root directory) and place all the text and map files inside. Once you are inside the multiplayer lobby, just change the game format by clicking on the planet size section. A pop-up window will open up, permitting you to load up a custom map or scenario. Load your scenario file and begin the game. Because the multiplayer host decides the map or scenario, any player who joins the game can't use his own set of custom rules or factions. The host's settings override any other player settings.

Tactics Dealing with Computer-Controlled
Factions With the mixture of computer
and human opponents, diplomacy becomes a much more important matter, especially
in gaining an advantage against a stronger computer-controlled or human-lead
faction. Should you gain favor with computer-controlled factions, only
to be called to assist when a human player engages them? Or should you
maintain an alliance with your human counterparts and overtake the computer
opponents one-by-one? Though each new game creates loads of different
possibilities, the following section will detail some and help prepare
you for multiplayer games.
