	God, I love this game Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

In anticipation of Civ4, I fired up SMAC/X for the first time in many moons... I had forgotten how much fun this game is, much more so than Civ3.

Random huge world, random factions, I got the Angels. (First time ever!) Talent level. Yeah, I'm a wuss.


Managed a 490% Transcendance victory, capturing only two enemy bases the entire game. It's nice being on your own mid-sized continent, especially when you typically play as a builder.

Something odd, though. The Cyborgs were riding my ass from first contact. Wouldn't even talk. Any further attempts at contact would only elicit the "I shall wipe you from Planet" blah blah blah. I never committed any atrocities or anything, and no one else acted like that--although everyone was more hostile than usual; at only one time did I have more than two other factions not in a vendetta against me. Anyone else have someone go at you like that? Just like we were the two alien factions...

I've never had it where everyone was against me so early in game...maybe a little later in the game.

I just don't like early first contact and the opposing faction immediately starts sending their military at you.

You should've used your probes to introduce certain......."viruses" into their population centers. Teach her to not mess with you.

Good to see old SMAC/X'ers coming back into the fold.
