A collection of 15+ years worth of fan-made improvements to the game we love in one big easy to install package. Just buy the game (http://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri), download (download as zip, mid right of this page), and unzip into your installation folder overwriting all duplicate files.
Compatible: These factions are, for the most part, thematically compatible with the original 14. They may not be perfect fits, but then again a lot of the Crossfire factions weren't perfect fits either.
Alternate: These factions do not attempt to fit in with the original 14, but they do attempt to present and explore an ideology in a serious manner.
Novelty: Joke factions. Not compatible with the original 14, and are not serious attempts at exploring an ideology.
Crossover: Factions based explicitly on other media.
With a line in each faction file, and the big alphax list of custom factions sorted into those four categories.
Current plan for classification system:
