I bet a lot of you have played this, very well made, game. Which I am currently playing, and yeah, it is great fun but it sometimes creeps me out completely.. And it like makes me feel uneasy..

I guess I've come to realize how gigantic a failure I'd be if I ever tried to lead anything.. I mean, it somehow made me doubt my ability to do things right.. I guess I'm too much of an idealist to play this game and not feel bad.

This probably sounds pretty confused and possibly dumb but the game has made me think a lot..

Still, great fun and really well made game but it's a bit dark - perhaps gothic and it has somehow made me uneasy.

Okay reading this over this is probably the most confusing post I've made..
I'll see if I can fix it somehow in the morning, I don't seem to be able to put words to my thoughts.

I tried the demo years ago. Couldn't figure out how to do anything, couldn't be bothered to struggle past the steep learning curve. Keep in mind that that was my 1st sid mierer (sp?) game.

Whats really annoying is when ur faction grew too big and ur enemy is big as well. When u pass ur turn to the coms, it takes them forever to finish, so i have to wait like 5 mins before playing my turn again... stupid.. Its hideous when u are playing 8 factions and populate the entire map.

SMAC is great, but it's buggy and the computer is retarded :/. Multiplayer is way more fun than against the computer, but it takes forever. I took part in an amazing 7-team play-by-email game earlier this year, and it was all the better since my team (Gaians) won a joint victory despite getting planet-bustered :D (we launched a few of our own ^_^).

edit: and the tech-quotes in this game are really cool and well done.

I like this game a lot, even nowdays i still play sometimes.

For me its far superior to civilization II. I think the tech concepts, the facions and the map are so inovative. Specialy the tech concepts are amazing, who came up with that stuff??
I like the terraforming a lot, usually i make a lot of raise terrain to get room for more bases, since i dont like sea bases.

In the transcend dificulty its hard, i can only win all the times with Peacekeepers and Gaians. With University not always, and the others dont really know, since i am a mix of perfectionist and expansionist, im not really a full militarist unlesse my oponents start very close to me right in the start. I think the morganities are very low ballanced. Usually i like playing with university cause its really boring to start having riots so soon (2, 3 or 4 pop) in transcend dificulty.


Btw, if someone wants to make a game add me msn: kontra@iol.pt and we'll play sometime!
Someone banned me from TL. Hmm i must have really touched something that hurt him
