This grid-based game is not all diplomacy, however; using your bases to research new technology or build military units can also help deter other factions from threatening you. It is also necessary to harvest resources from the planet. Planting forests or kelp farms and mining minerals are just a few ways to bolster your empire. Dealing with the other factions should not be your only concern.
A large percentage of the planet is covered in a red Xenofungus on land and its water equivalent, Sea Fungus, that can cause further problems in developing squares. Less friendly planet inhabitants include the Mind Worm, a little parasitic carnivore that can burrow into a human brain and devour it.
There is also an ocean equivalent to the Mind Worm, the Isle of the Deep, and the airborne cousins, the Locusts of Chiron. There is a seemingly endless amount of research that can be done to better your faction. Science, military, social and economic discoveries can be made by researching, just to name a few. There are four ways to win Alpha Centauri. If you can win three-fourths of the votes from the other faction leaders to elect you as the Supreme Leader of the planet, you will have won via the diplomatic route.
Economic victory is accomplished by cornering the Global Energy Market. The highest form of victory is the Ascent to Transcendence, the next step in the evolution of humanity. The final way to win is the good old-fashioned Conquest method, by eliminating all other remaining factions. When you figure the ability to choose the seven different factions, four ways to win, and all the different research paths that can be taken, the replayability of this game is enormous.
Unless you have a large monitor, you may have problems making out the fairly compressed grids that become even more difficult to see when they get heavily populated with various units.
There are full-motion video sequences that you are shown after a major discovery has been made or if you have annihilated a warring faction. There is some uninspiring background music and various faction readings that are narrated to you at various points between turns. So how can I get this bitch to install correctly?

There's a patch on this website in the linked thread. Maybe it'll help. You may need a graphics patch for the game to run as it was intended, however. Hidden signature messages are fun! Owlga Bay Watcher Turbo times two. While the page itself wasn't what I needed. There were instructions for a manual install elsewhere.
So I suppose problem solved. For anyone else having this problem. Copying the Programs file into a folder named "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri" in the directory you want is pretty much installing the game.
