Sol 0 is a nice game, not too in-depth, but certainly good for a couple of hours of building Martian colonies ( http://www.solzerogame.com/ ) Startopia remains a classic even today. If you want to build a space station, give it a go, it's really cheap on steam and gog. As grandad1982 mentioned...

AoEII and AoM expansions?

Oh my, my friend and I played a team game last Saturday and we both picked Hutama. So. Many. Trade. Routes. It was just obscene.

I was allied with an AI 1 and the AI declared war on AI 2. Of course I automatically declared war as well. AI 1 then proceeded to inform me that he had a severe decrease of respect for me because of my "warmongering ways"... for assisting him in a war he initiated...

I totally agree, before BERT I never took that prosperity virtue that gave the extra expeditions, but in my last game I actually took that before the free colonist. I had staggered landings enabled and was determined to strip the planet clean before everybody had landed.

Wasn't that change in the big patch from earlier this year?

My first thought at seeing her was "angry lesbian", but transgender is believable to, we'll have to carefully dig through the leader quotes for clues I guess :) Also my money for the last sponsor is on Antarctica. It melted during the great mistake and is now one of the most resource rich and...

Since two of the remaining factions will be aquatic, my money is on an Anglo-Dutch alliance of shipbuilders.

With regards to the aliens, I really, really liked SMAC's Psi combat. This way the aliens remained a viable threat well into the mid to early late game, without ever being overpowered at the start.

Welcome!

I've been playing on moderate and had great success with fighters. Admittedly the Hyperlaunch wonder is, who not requisite, a gigantic help when using fighters. (Tight Squeeze is also nice, but not nearly as big a deal). Basically my ships get loaded with fighter bays and engines, and some...

Hmm, shouldn't Hutama be the economist and Fielding the diplomat?

I've been playing the new alpha and it's quite fun. I love the new temperature/season system and windmills give some much needed variation in power generation.

By mid to late game internal trade routes tend to be better than stet mining, giving 10+ production to two of your cities in addition to food.

I waited forever before preordering because I was holding out hope that there'd be a collectors/Limited edition with an artbook and maybe some figurines, like there was for CiV. Sadly I was disapointed.

Nope. Source Shacknews

In Alpha Centauri producing lots of pollution would cause native life forms to spawn. I don't see any reason why having very negative health couldn't force alien nests to spawn in your territory, destroying tile improvements and producing alien units. This would have the added benefit of...

Supremacy: Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it! (shameless quote from the Animatrix)

Other than the Gaian/Harmony and Cyborg/Surpemacy, there aren't that many clear-cut affinity choices for the SMAC factions. For most factions a good case can be made for at least 2 out of 3 or even all 3 affinities. For example: University: Supremacy: Why bother having a quantum computer do...

My opinion is yes Implement it, I never used it, but I know many people appreciated the feature so why not.
