The idea is to delay the Space Race until the players were using the additional NextWar technologies. MISSION TO MARS (formerly APOLLO PROGRAM) requires ASTROGATION (formerly ROCKETRY) Cost for MISSION TO MARS (formerly APOLLO PROGRAM) increased to 2250 hammers) SS ENGINE: requires COLD FUSION (formerly FUSION) SS COCKPIT: requires CYBERNETICS (formerly FIBER OPTICS) SS DOCKING BAY: requires SHIELDING (formerly SATELLITES) SS LIFE SUPPORT: requires HYDROPONICS (formerly ECOLOGY) SS STASIS CHAMBER: requires CLONING (formerly GENETICS) SS CASING: requires COMPOSITES (unchanged) SPACE ELEVATOR: requires ROBOTICS + SATELLITES + FUSION (formerly just ROBOTICS + SATELLITES). ARCOLOGY/ARCOLOGY SHIELDING/DEFLECTOR SHIELDING: The cost of all three of these buildings has been doubled. Arcology now requires both Hydroponics and Composites Nuke "CRACKED LIKE AN EGG" now only applies to Next War Scenario Every game speed option now has 5% more turns Added all of the random events from JKP1187's Random Events Mod. I added three new NextWar-specific random events: "The Cylons", "Sensors", "Slip and Fall" Added voice-overs for all of the Next War technologies Added a new icon (by bmarnz) showing C. Everett Koop's likeness for the Center for Desease Control National Wonder Added new icons for the Next War specific Unit Categories (Clones, Assault Mech, Bioweapons, Dreadnought) Resource depletion only has a chance of occurring in the Scenario, no depletion in epic game. Replaced regular bomber images with B-52 by Snafusmith.
