Well, I had -- still have -- a CD of SMAC, and even one for Alien Crossfire, but they're for mac pre-OSX. I never did find time to do more than play the tutorials with that version. But it was something I always wished I'd done more of, so when the Gog edition came out, I snapped it up.
Now I've started a game at the lowest level, and I guess my general civ skills aren't so bad, because I have a commanding lead in the game (second game will be at a higher difficulty!), more cities than I can count, and the micromanagement is driving me crazy. I've never been a fan of turning on any sort of governor, but is it usable in SMAC? Or does anyone have any suggestions on cutting down the scutwork?
(Also, is it possible to rename individual units?)
