Transient Thinkers "The Philosopher" Passive, DISCOVER It is only when man ceases to look beyond himself for clues to his mortality that he begins to learn of humanity. Do not look to God for answers, for prayer is the final act of desperation. -- Transient Avelon Sollar...

Aki is also my favourite of the stock leaders (though I do have a custom faction). That efficiency means you can safely use Planned or Police State at any time - or you can slap on Democratic/Green/Knowledge and kiss everyone else's research good bye. =) The disadvantage to the Consciousness is...

I've actually had xenofungal blooms triggered without natives. I know this only because I've done this on the corner of my territory with the polar caps or the sea being on the other side, and then explored the fungus - leaving nowhere for those natives to go. I suppose through some glitching...

One thing I'd like to note is that I have experienced 2 events from 1 pod in several combinations, but it seems like there are two sets of event types that can happen, and events within each type do not happen along with other events of that type. So... 1.) Xenofungal bloom + Pod was infested...

Well, technologies no. I will, however, say that the Xenoempathy Dome changes the odds to match 'Fungus with a road'. I'm positive of this, as I nearly always get it when playing as Gaians/Consciousness/Cult/University. Also, I do know that natives have the same probability of triggering more...

Crimson Sunrise said: 15.) Alpha Centauri has a story which made it more interesting than 'lol rewrite simulated history'. Psyonif said: 16.) It's in the future. 19.) The ability to build on the ocean and use all of its abundant resources rather than just using it to travel between landmasses...

The problem, I discovered, was that I was trying to add a faction and expecting it to show up in SMAC - it doesn't. It does, however, show up in SMAX. Only obstacle left now is to edit the PCX files...still can't find a utility to convert, so I guess I'm gonna have to somehow acquire a...

Excellent! Thank you very much.

Hey guys, I recently discovered this awesome game, and as always, I'm already itching to modify it. I want to build a customized faction, and for the most part, I've got that covered, but there are two minor difficulties I'm experiencing: 1.) I'm not sure how to convert the game's PCX files to...

I just discovered this game not too long ago and am greatly enjoying it. As a mainly Civ2 fanatic I'm finding it a little hard to adjust, but this game feels delicious. Conquest is so much more satisfying than it was in Civ2, and the AIs are greatly improved. Diplomacy is now actually a...

Awesome MP3s 2006? ;)

Sounds Front Mission-y...though I only know of one FM game and it was SFC only.

Good job, Rhein. =P Final Fantasy was released in 1987 in the U.S. And this midi almost sounds like something from Shadowrun...

Nope and nope... This game was released in the 80's. In the year of my birth, actually.

ARPG is probably the closest thing to it, like Kan said. =P But no, this theme is from a well-known "straight" RPG. It's actually based quite a bit on DnD.
