I would like to officially proclaim patch 3.0 a success. Not only has it speeded game play and reduced some of my lockups, but, the tweaks to the a/i have seemed to greatly improve the diplomatic aspects of the game.
Case in point is that I just finished my first 3.0 game(in record time) and the only fighting I had to do was kill worms. Yes, Miriam and Yang had declared vendetta from the get go, but they were far enough away that they had more important problems to deal with. As a result, I was able to follow a dedicated build strategy and the power graphs started to look like Mount Everest vs a pimple. 2340 rolled around and the 350 votes for supreme leader easily offset Morgan's 4 votes against. Believe me, I'll get even with Morgan next time around!
Needless to say, I was both startled and tickled that I didn't have to turn the game into a doomfest to bring it to an end. Outstanding! This is certainly something that I have been harping on for quite a while and I am delighted to see it is now a reality.
Congratulations Brian(and the rest of Firaxis of course)on adding these features! Now, if you could only add some changes to make trade more significant.....

BTW, I would love to hear from those of you who have experienced similar games. Maybe you could post them here.

My God! First Yin26 mellows out. Now uncleroggy posts an ecstatic, pro-SMAC post! Undertaker, watch out! The Firaxis probe teams are obviously out in force...uhhhh...what was I talking about?

Uh DerekM,
For the record, I never said that I didn't like SMAC. I merely pointed out that the game has some serious flaws(which are being corrected) and that I did not appreciate being attacked by people for pointing out those flaws. Trust me, I'm not a SMACophant yet! But given more improvements.... Well, there's a good chance.
