As seen in icons.pcx in the SMAC directory.

There's also a rather nifty flaming skull icon.


newicons.pcx has a list of factions different from the ones we know:
Gaian, Keeper, Morgan, Archon, Spartan, Conclave and Labyrinth.


There are lots of other vaguely interesting graphics not included in the
final game to be found.

But what is "Baron Krypto Space Puppy"?

Those are the Gaian=Gaian's Stepdaughers, Keepers of Wisdom (Keepers)=Peacekeepers,
Morgan=Morgan Conglomerates, Archon=Lord's Believers, Conclave=University of the
Planet, Labyrinth=The Hive. They were the original names.

I knew I was wrong about the UoP right when I logged off yesterday. I thought I had The
University and The Hive mixed up though. Oh well, its been over 6 months since we used
them.

Interesting: how late in development did "Conclave" change to "Lord's Believers?"

Probably after the sound-recording, I'm guessing, since the intro mentions the
"Conclave Bible," and I recall a few other references to the Conclave. Or is that all
intentional?

During the beta it was always Beleivers. That would put the change back before
October, I think.
