Spore: Samoran Set
I’ve been playing Spore again recently. And by playing, I mean, I’ve been mucking about in the editors. My current goal is to update or finish my past creations. By my calculations I’m a little less then halfway done.
Okay, sets. Sets in Spore are great. They link different pieces of content together. This means that when the game populates a city with an orange tank, it would be more likely that the city would also have an orange plane and an orange boat.
Sets work best with buildings. They also work pretty well with vehicles. But, for me, the best sets are “full sets”. These would include:
- 4 buildings (city hall, house, entertainment, factory.)
- 3 vehicles (Land, Air, Sea) of one type (religious, military, economic, colony.)
- 1 spaceship.
- 1 creature.
That’s a lot of work, admittedly. But the results can be pretty cool.
