Something to do with a 16bit installer on a 64bit processor. Take this as a grain of salt since i run W7 32bit. I had the same problem some times ago when i tried to reinstall it too. There is a workaround to that I found somewhere i can't recall: - create the directory where you want to "install" the game (ex. c:\SMAC) - copy from the cd what's inside the programs directory into your chosen dir (copy from d:\SMAC\programs to c:\SMAC) - copy the whole fx, movies and voices dirs from the cd into yours. - run terran.exe | ||

I think the OP faction is Green but my memories may be fuzzy. It was quite some time ago. | ||

It was quite some time ago. Best TBS (not RPG) I know, the expansion was really good too, added lot's of content etc, only problem with the expansion was that almost every new race was better than the old ones. games took waaaaay too long for multiplayer though (could be because I was a total noob when I played it (and still  ) | ||

I'd disagree, imo morgan > roze deidre > planet cult kid yang isn't worse than domai, though probably not better either ^same with zak and cyborgs pirates are too different to compare imo (closest comparison is spartans which isn't even that close) aliens are obviously op | ||

Your population is a bunch of spoiled brats and always revolt, and you grow too slow to compete long term. I think university is the standard for "fastest to transcendence victory" challenges because its free network node bonus works so well with ICS base building concepts. Add the virtual world for a hologram building in each city. For an example check out this link http://www.dos486.com/alpha/index.html | ||

(I usually chose Aki-Zeta as my partner, because although the cultures are pretty different they add to each other very well, getting scientifical discoveries from your bloodsister is always awesome.) | ||

I really did love how you could make units that you "wanted", make really good ones that would cost a lot, etc. Customization is always awesome. | ||

Zak vs Aki The first bonus is actually irrelevant because most games are gonna be won or lost long before cybernetic tech comes into play. I'd much rather have free network nodes, which are pricey and extremely relevant early on! The second is hugely relevant, however, and HS isn't perfect either in the expansion. The growth penalty is kinda nasty, though. I think Zak edges out since you can defend against enemy probe teams if you take the proper precautions- thus, a more complete player will play a better Zak than he would Cyborgs. Morgan totally smashes Roze. So does Myriam. Cult kid is trash due to the huge industry penalty. Yang is stronger than Domai, though. Free perimeter defences means you can actually hold on to your sprawling bases, and the no inefficiency penalty is pure goddamn gold. | ||
