Description
Decided to rest a bit from my studies, and the result has been... ProductiveA crossover between Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Happy Tree Friends! This one is a bit interesting in concept.
Year 2060 AD, 7000 colonists depart from Earth in order to save animal-kind from extinction due to war and famine. The space ship, the UNS Unity was launched towards the Star System Alpha Centauri to colonise the planet Chiron. However as the ship enters Chiron's gravity field, an engine malfunctioned. The assassination of the captain, Splendid, had sparked the tensions between the ship's 7 most influential leaders. The colonists separated themselves, riding upon 7 colony pods, separated not by nationality, but by ideology and hopes for the future. As the Unity disintegrated, the 7 colony pods arrived at Chiron, their colonists ready to face the challenge of continuing the legacy of animal-kind."
Which faction are you going to join if given the chance? The 7 factions are as follows:
Spartan Federation
The Powerhouse, the faction believes in the ideology of power, and build up with the military in mind. They believe that a strong military and power foothold on Chiron will help them face the hardships on the planet. They are led by Ferdinand Flippy Fitzgerald, and despise the University of Planet.
University of Planet
Led by Samuel Sniffles Sanders, the faction believes that the power of science and technology will propel them towards prosperity and harmony. They are the fastest to progress, although ethics are not of their concern. For them, pragmatism is key. They are opposed to the Spartan Federation.
Gaia's Stepdaughters
Gabrielle Giggles Calliope knows best when it comes to the planet fragile landscape, so going green is their motto. They are quick to befriend the challenge provided by the environment and knowing every detail of the terrain, using local wildforms as their tools. Productivity suffers due to their green policy, and they hated the Astro Industries.
Peacekeeping Forces
The legacy of the UN is led by Cuddles Cunningham Chase. They are the most balanced among the 7, and are in many ways similar to their Earth counterparts in terms of way of life. They have a relationship bonus to all other factions, although their stand means they are mostly neutral.
Astro Industries
Capitalism describe Astro Industries as they believe that an efficient industry and resources distribution is the way to live on Chiron. Manuel Handy Whitaker leads the faction, which excels in their field of productivity. They are at odds with the Gaia's Stepdaughters.
Society Hive
Totalitarianism describes the Society Hive as a huge, controlled society under the control of Lumpy Kodiak. They are an efficient, if somewhat happy society but cultural development are deprived as the society is centralised. Growth is quick. They hated the Lord's Believers.
Lord's Believers
Culture and religion describes this faction best. Led by Bodhidharma Shakyamuni (Buddhist Monkey), they are an organised society with a strong sense of tradition. They are linked one another in culture as they believe a higher power will lead them in their endeavours in Chiron. Due to this, their military units are much more aggresive as their ideology they stick towards with great passion. They are against the Society Hive.
I'm so proud with the planet and stars
Once more, which faction are you going to join if given the chance?
Probably I'll also make a pony version to this, except that the last two will be changed to "Voices of Suffrage" and "Tradition's Disciples." Pinkie Doesn't fit at all for leading the Pony Hive and Equestria has nothing much to do with Religion.

"However, there are places where the companies go into the African nations and build factories there."
That's what I'm referring to. Too free a market can help with income to some nations but widen the gap towards the others.
(Why would I hate you for showing the statistics? )
Got a point there . But I'm referring more to costs paid after such accidents by the patients.

"That's what I'm referring to. Too free a market can help with income to some nations but widen the gap towards the others."
Yes, it can. Though as a personal take, the kind of situation would be that everyone benefits in the end. And with the trade embargos and tariffs, I'd hardly call the trading between nations a free market at all. XD
"(Why would I hate you for showing the statistics? )"
I actually dunno.
"Got a point there . But I'm referring more to costs paid after such accidents by the patients."
Oh, yeah. $0 for UHS, a few tens of thousands without it. Which is why we have health insurance pools. :3 And HSA. XD
Actually, tbh, USA in some sense ALREADY has a bit of a UHS. It's Medicare and Medicaid, which mostly takes care of the elderly. It now costs $820 billion a year to operate by the federal government.

Faction hmm not any of them i would have my own and and allied extraterristral force here's some backround info
Netorian Forces
Human Nuclear war Erased Everything human evidence but ranmaunts of cities, Plasma weaponry and cybernetic machinery but that's what the anthro's thought was wrong humans did survive but the conditions weakened them to a limit of Romo-Nuko technology (but clothing was equaled to that of Greeko-Roman) At this time remaining human forces were divided by : Aztec, Premodern, Netorian and Medieval forces, the netorians are infamous for the Gaian Religion (anti-gay/lesbian, Gaia and satan are the only "gods" (gaia everything except UW and satan Underworld gaia created the universe) and violent tactics and love for Non-anthro animals. The netorians got to chiron threw altered Jet-planes which could go faster than light because of martian (reticulonian) technology. the Netorians are on the planet to prevent the anthro's from both habitating and further more destroying planet resulting in "Netoriai-chiron nuclear war" leader biologically 12 age 78 year old immortal (nuclear waste destroyed the age advancing process) the human wasteland survivor Brutus (has last name but wants to show no existence to being mortal in his past)
Republic of Reticulon (formally Republic of Mars)
RoR is an Alien civilization where they're first intelligent lifeform date to martian prehistory (about 380 Million years ago yep that's right martian life got on land about 765 mya BCE) The Martian Planet started purgeing about 65.1 million years ago (the Same time the K/T extinction so it's pretty likely that mars booted out a rock to earth) martians eventually they started habituating Reticuli's Reticulon I . martians are linked to This because they're preventing habitation of the planet (there's another race called the tauricans but they're keeping they're "big noses" out of it)
martians are allies to the netorians as they're plan to leave Chiron a planet without a intelligent being (that's right they hold the netorian religion but they had for longer way longer)
Any questions if your going to ask what do they look like? that's in progress

Nope, sorry can't do.
There are supposedly 7 other factions to a total of 14 in the game's expansion, which are difficult to implement in terms of Ideology. 4 of them: Free Citizens, Cult of Planet, Nautilus Pirates and Cybernetic Consciousness

Never knew about Alpha Centauri though...
But this artwork is just too amazing... and made me even more jealous...
The effects, the shading, everything's too cool...
I wish I can use Photoshop the next time I'm drawing later... -_-
Anyway, if there's the HTF version, there should be a Pony version. I'll be looking forward to it.

Well I can always help you with photoshop Bit by bit though, I can't just shove everything into your throat
Alpha Centauri is a game from 1998, a game which is just like Civilisation, which is one of my favourite games (Civ)
And yes, a pony version will be made after my exams. Can you guess or predict which pony character is which faction?

I have an idea, somewhat, on the ponies. :3
Twilight Sparkle as the University of Planet due to her intellect.
Rainbow Dash as the Spartan Federation due to the leadership she gave to fellow ponies at the Winter Wrap Up and the Element of Loyalty too.
Fluttershy with Gaia's Stepdaughters due to her special connection with nature
Pinkie Pie with the Peacekeeping Forces due to her always being and wanting to be positive. Then again, she might turn straight maned then. :/
Appljack with Astro Industries, due to her running a business. It fairly represents on what people say, mostly that capitalism always benefited bosses and not workers. She is an owner, along with Granny Smith and Big Mac, who could be her advisors. XD
IDK about Rarity, but I know who the Society Hive should go to: Derpy! She's almost okay with anything and she's pretty plain as well.
I also have possible replacement names. From start to finish, from Spartan to religious:
Awesomery Weather Millitary
School of Talented Ponies United
Chiron Sanctuary
Party Keepers Force
Apple Industries
Derp World
Luna's New Republic
Idk, I thought from the back of my head.

Yudhaikeledai In reply to AnarchisThinker [2011-10-07 15:57:30 +0000 UTC]
Well, I'm planning:
Rainbow Dash: Spartan Federation (I wish to keep Spartan as that is the Spartan's Doctrine, not to mention their military will certainly become 20% cooler )
Twilight: University of Planet / Avowers of Knowledge
Fluttershy: Gaia's Stepdaughters
Princess Luna: Peacekeeping Emissaries
Applejack: Apple Industries (you got that spot on)
Pinkie Pie: Voices of Suffrage / Paradise Syndicate (contrast to the Society Hive, democracy in this one)
Rarity: Traditional Disciples (as an aversion to religion)
What's your opinion on this?

Actually I found your opinion rather interesting Name replacements for some does work if we're to fit this in pony world. As for Derpy, I don't know how she would fit in the society hive, although it does make sense a bit judging from her personality based on other fanfics. Any more ideas?
At first when I plan to stick to the original 7 factions, I am quite torn about Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Lord's Believers doesn't really fit into the Equestrian world, although Pinkie Pie might be good to fit in (Amish background?) Actually, Pinkie fits 3 of the factions, including as you said, the Peacekeeping forces and the Society Hive. Rarity on the other hand was very difficult to fit :iconrarityheaddeskplz:. Peacekeeping forces? Well it fits her in someway, although not by much. Lord's Believers? Nope, too extreme (except for spreading the "generosity?"). This is unlike the other 4 cast members which are in someways clear cut for the factions. So I decided to change the last 2 to fit in Pinkie and Rarity.

Oh, a 90's game? Awesome!

Yudhaikeledai In reply to inovationhtf [2011-10-07 14:39:53 +0000 UTC]
Well, so basically you perceive the character as 3D, that's the first step. Then apply a darker colour to parts where you thinkg the shadow will fell on. Use the magic wand to guide in applying the shades . To help with smoother shading, use the later brushes that are white on the outside (can't find a word to describe it )
A 90's game, really want to play it Its one of the best game of the era.
Well of course, one thing for sure is that Twilight is certainly University of Planet right?

This oddly reminds me of "Looney toons unleashed", but that one happens in 2070 . There are some elements of Spore as well, like the military " Spartan Federation", the sciency "University of Planet" and the religious "Lord's believers"

Alpha Centauri VS Spore
Spartan Federation: Knight Archetype
University of Planet: Scientist Archetype
Lord's Believers: Zealot Archetype OR Shaman Archetype
Peacekeeping Forces: Diplomat Archetype
Astro Industries: Trader Archetype
Gaia's Stepdaughters: Ecologist Archetype
Society Hive: Hmmm... This one has no counterpart... Probably, Warriors?
Well indeed, they have an almost similar faction dividing in them. Alpha Centauri is in 1998 though if I'm not mistaken, an old game You play Spore?
