hello,

i bought smac the other day and have been playing it furiously (finished it on citizen...). what i would like to know is if there's a way to choose the technological advances instead of them being chosen for you. automation is great, but sometimes ya gotta have more control...

if this has been addressed elsewhere, i would appreciate a pointer to information. thank you.

At the beginning of the game, instead of using standard rules, select customize rules, uncheck blind research.

It's not automation, it's randomisation. And you do have some control, just not much.

You can choose a general line of advancement through the tech tree by choosing from that "Build Discover Explore Conquer" research goal screen by hitting "Shift-R".
