Why can't he tell us in this forum!!!
Oh well, orbital combat & stations will rock!!! Thank you Brian for adding those! Now SMAC is truly 5 steps above CTP!! Three cheers for Firaxis.
Hip Hip HOORAH! Hip Hip HOORAH! Hip Hip HOORAH!!
Sorry, just got a little over-excited, but as director of orbital station 6 of the once again scrapped IIIS, I must make my voice heard!
Director of Orbital Station 6,
Of the confused knights of NIM who say "huh?"
Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general,
YYYH

This game is going to SO big!!!

I just wonder if it might not just be a little too big. Oops that was sacrilege wasn't it. What I mean is that all those features might get in the way of gameplay, but if I trust anyone with that it is Firaxis.

Hope it truly fits the game and is not just a last minute add which looks good on the back of the package in the store:
"Experience stunning battle on land, sea, air and also IN SPACE!!! More you've seen ever before!"

Hmmm, I think it would be cool if it was a graphic on the box. Maybe they could have a gold cd too, or how about ten different foil covers???

In the meantime, I'd settle for some new pictures in the Gallery. BTW, what does Miriam's base look like? C'mon Brian-throw us some crumbs!!

I thought The Believer's HQ was called New Jerusalem. I saw it in a screenshot, but I don't remember where. Either cdmag.com or pc.ign.com should have it.
It would be nice to have new screenshots and hopefully Firaxis should now have more time to update the site.

We've known for months that a space elevator was one of the special projects. Where did you think it led to?
Brian R. gave a more complete review of space-based features on Usenet. If you can't read it from a news-server go to DejaNews. He posted pages and pages of game stuff over the weekend. Stop asking him to come here; go to where most strat gamers on the Net hang out. That's where he is.
