These forums, and I wonder what to do you know? How do you make all those cool smiley's and stuff? AHHA I am a veteran SC player (starcraft) but I know that won't help me in SMAC so I've been brushing up on CIV2, umm if you guys can give me any pointers, that would be helpful!

Welcome, those interesting smilies are made by making a normal smilie in chat or anything else. Anyway, the first thing you'll be confronted with are sycophants who want you to join their factions or clubs. Despicable! Btw, the Morgan Industries faction, and the Brotherhood of Sid club are looking for some new members. We are the best, so you should join us!

Speak for yourself!!!
(Kurn bites the mailman. Teaches you! Rof! Rof!!
Jay posted 12-15-98 03:28 AM ET
Kurn likes playing a rabid wompat. Just ignore him.
( Kurn bites Jay. Jay gets angry)
Goddamn animal!
( Jay shoots Kurn with his combat shotgun)

Talon:I'm not bloodthirsty!
YYYH:I beleive you
Imran:Sarcasm does not become you(inside joke)
YYYH:Stop saying that! I hate it!
Imran:Wait that wasn't sarcastic, how am a I supposed to do my next line?
YYYH:Uhh I don't know.
Imran:Sarcasm does not become you
Talon: Uhhh guys... As I was saying I'm not bloodthirsty, just a little weird.
YYYH: Whatever Tal...

Nah, Talon's not bloodthirsty. He just takes orders way too literally. Example:
[BoS HQ]
Imran: Don't just stand there like an idiot! Do SOMETHING!
(Talon starts doing a bizarre dance as carrot missles explode around him.)
Imran: (frantically) What are you DOING?!
Talon: I'm doing the Zumteeng, an ancient, obscure dance from an ancient, obscure Central African tribe.
Imran: (in an exhausted voice) Aren't you supposed to be intelligent?
Talon: Should I be, sir?
Imran: Yes.
Talon: Okay.
(Talon pulls out a blackboard and starts writig down numbers.)
Talon: That's odd...
Imran: What NOW?!
Talon: It appears that this example is getting very pointless.
Imran: It took you this long to notice? I am now worried.

JKViper, two words
JOIN MORGAN!
~Morgan industries, where capitalism is your best friend and the hive is your worst enemy.
Ok, onto relevant stuff.
lesson 1
factions
1. the Peacekeepers,
carry added diplomatic weight, have larger cities, beurocratic innefficiency
2. Gaians
interact better with planet, true democratic government, troops lose moral easily
3. Morgan Industries(hell yeah)
economic bonuses, increased revenue from trade agreements, citizens require more luxuries
4. Believers(not the kind of Believers I wanted, but oh well)
Uninfiltrateable, x3 on attack(possibly), growth bonuses, reduced research rate
5. The Hive(evil bastards )
free city defenses, industry bonuses, economic disadvantages, frikkin wierd...
6. The Spartans(not quite as evil)
Crack troops(not THAT kind of crack), slow economy due to war machine, generally Hated by all other factions
7.The UoP
Increased research rate, easily infiltrated cities, more frequent riots
Veterans, add on to the lessons, I'm getting tired of typing.
~DHE, he's DHE, what do you expect?
