HELP!!!!
I've arrenged my timetable so I could play SMAC for two days on 15th of this month.
What shall I do now??
Now we have to wait almoast until christmast.
THX Firaxis, I know that the game will be great when it is released.
Firaxis, I am waiting, please give the demo on 20th of december. (The final game may be released when it is ready) The waiting is killing me.
P.S. Those of you who have the beta test,
could you post opinions here. (OK, if you are not allowed, please tell so) I want to know more about the game A.S.A.P.

Heckler grabs a cerimonial knife
"Life without SMAC is nothing!" he screams
"AUGHHHH!" the knife plunges towards his abdomen.
clunk
Whew thank goodness I stopped myself. So what will I do for the next month? Heckler wanders off to bemoan his fate for a while.

Jeje, try a different challang If you ahte AI chaeting, play king (no intended cheating there), but, eg, set yourself a limit of 4 cities. Also reduces micomanagemnt significantly...

I don't uunderstand. How can you conquer the world and have only 4 cities.
DJ RRebel posted 11-09-98 09:09 AM ET
I think roland has gone delutional .. in my current game, I'm at like 80-90 cities, and it's only 1880 or 1890 !!!
4 cities ??? At least it makes for a fast game !!! lol
And yes I've noticed that with spies, the production of units in enemies cities are all messed up !!! They support way more units than they should ... I never realised how different the AI was set up !!! Or maybe it's just the level I'm playing (2nd hardest) !!!

Mike, I see the problem. But there is an interesting cheat in civII: You don't have to conquer the world, you can send a spaceship somewehre... just can't remember right now...
DJ, would do you mean by "gone" ? I've been that since the beginning (of the universe or my existance, not sure...)
