From what I've read about SimMars, it will be very similar to SimCity but on Mars (duh). However, there is supposed to be a tech tree like SMAC or any other empire-building game. There may not even be an AI in SimMars, just formulatic microsimulations which move according to your choices (just like all Maxis games).
Comments anyone....?

The lack of an enemy AI is one of the features of the Sim-line of games (except for SimAnt). Many people just rather build in peace instead of competing with another player. This way one can try different style of play, such as luxuriouse towns, booming metropolises, education cities etc.
