Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire
SMAC is a great game but I got really tired of searching all
over the map for my air units. To fix this I wrote Alpha Centauri Helper (ACH).
This program lets you look at a saved game and spot all of your
units (or another faction's!) on a map. Let's you know which are
already moved too. Version 0.2 adds viewing city stats,
facilities, and game editing. Version 0.30 lets you see what
advances you get when developing a technology or what
technologies you need to advance. This is interactive with a
saved game so you can see which technologies you know and which
need to be discovered.

If you have the Alien Crossfire expansion of Alpha Centauri,
ACH will not work. Please download AXH instead.

ACE allows limited editing of maps for Sid
Meier's Alpha Centauri (tm) (SMAC) and Alien Crossfire (SMAX).
The program was designed to help overcome a peculiarity of SMAC
maps (at least as far as I could determine). If you make a map in
the SMAC built-in editor the random resources (minerals, food,
energy) cannot be removed. As far as I could tell they are not
stored in the map file but seem to be generated each time. Maps
can be made with random resources and pods turned off but then
you have to add them all in by hand. ACE will let you add random
resources to a map that was made with the random resources turned
off in the SMAC editor. Some of these then can be removed if they
are in an inconvenient spot using the SMAC built-in editor. In
addition ACE can be set to put variable densities of resources
over the whole map or only a portion as well as only on land or
sea.

Jagged Alliance Deadly Games
DGED is an item editor for Single Player Deadly Games saved
games. It should be useful for editing randomly generated
scenarios with lots of bad guys.These seem to require better
weapons than normal. In addition to manually adding any item, all
of the mercs can be equipped with a random array of more or less
great equipment.

Masters of Orion II
Use MooEd to change the properties of any existing planet in
the MOO2 galaxy. Move stars around. MOO2 is an old game
available now for a low price. It is fun and there are some
editors available but I couldn't find one for planets.
