Hi, you should probably use the search function before posting another thread as I requested something almost exactly the same a few pages back.
That said I like all these idea's (bar alien code, nope this cannot happen) Note that there are many types of artifacts and will probably give coders/brainstormers/spriters a better idea of what goes where. (thanks cogs to giving me some backstory to these
, bar the wizard for which I gleamed a bit from the wiki )
Forerunner Artifacts - Completely mysterious and virtually unknown ancient race. Nothing organic remains.
Eldritch Artifacts - Equally mysterious yet extremely unnerving and evil. Research at extreme caution.
Robotic Artifacts - Strange sleek machines which some information is known but met with hostility.
Wizard Artifacts - More of a "society", using advanced, possibly stolen technology and masking it as archaic.
Martian Artifacts - On par with Nanotrasen/human technology, however are centuries ahead in organics.
I don't think there should be more sprites added for artifacts, I think artifacts should be multi-use, with each use randomizing every round depending on what type they are. However if more sprites are needed, I suppose I can try my hand.
Here's some of mine:

Here's some of mine:
Quote:A handheld artifact when activated acts as an implanter. Depending on origin, it can allow the user to control electronic stuff (robot) give the user a SoulGuard (Wizard) allow the user to knitback himself like a vampire (Martian)
A large artifact that instantly recharges borgs (and perhaps keeps them that way)
A large artifact that spawns a critter that acts as a guardbuddy when activated
A large artifact that creates a 5x5 area supplying oxygen and heat (perhaps bigger)
A handheld artifact that allows you to teleport to a tile you clicked on (like the whip only with ANYTHING)
A large artifact that when clicked, gives up the same pop-up as Clairvoyance
A large artifact that allows you to see and talk to ghosts in a 3x3 area
A large artifact that creates a portal to an UNKNOWN AREA (similar to yours)
A handheld artifact that when used on a person, gives them various accents
A handheld artifact that acts as a RCD
A large Artifact that gives borgs random upgrades
