Quite right you are, Mr Prez.
Smack, why did you want someone else to write the Aldebaran story? You could of pulled it off aswell, even better since you already had the story imprinted in your brain waves. And you are a native English speaker.
You people really should learn Finnish

Don't worry. I had an OT thread about this some time ago, and many people share your... incapability

Yes! It was right at the tip of my tongue.

Or Vangelis? Not Chariots of Fire, of course, but the piece with much more... monolithness (if there's such a word) and... spectacularitity, something like... yes, Soviet music.

Of course I take the actions of the other factions personally. Every time Lal backstabs me, or declares war for no apparent reason, I say to myself ‘you bloody hypocrite’. In fact, on the rare occasions when he is friendly I am so overjoyed that I take a step back and think it must be a trick. This ‘personality’ has kept SMAC/X fresh long after the game mechanics became routine.
For music, I’d select Mars the Destroyer, from Gustav Holst’s Planet Suite for the Spartans.

Getting back on-topic.
Today I was playing as Believers, using a Fundie/Green SE, with a stable alliance with Morgan & Dee, Santiago & Yang hating my guts, and Lal, Zak sort of huffy, as usual. Santiago, Dee and Morgan are on the same continent as me, but quite distant, along a fungal covered causeway. Zak's and Lal's continents are seperated by just 1 tile of ocean from mine. Btw, the AI's are super versions with hefty SE bonuses, free rec tanks and original priorities.
Anyway, I decided to colonise Zak's landmass while he was still on it, so I built 3 outpost bases, then I decide to probe some tech so naturally he declares vendetta. A few turns later a swarm of probes barrages one of my poor outpost bases, destroying every facility. Then a few rovers come in and capture the base (leaving me somewhat startled). Lal decides this would be a fine time to invade my continent so parks a transport in the channel and swarms some probes over and knocks out a few facilities, as well as dropping a rover off which took out a few defensive units.
(His chosen invasion point was a monolith on a river, it also happened my units were swarming there to get upgrades)
Anyway, I was getting mightly riled so I recalled my forces (2 elite scout patrols  ) from the spartan border, switch to power, and start a massive elite unit construction program. A decade or so later my formers raise a land bridge to Zak land, and a dozen or so of my elite 5X-3-1*2's swarm over, supported by 2-3+-2*2 and a few probes, I buy my poor base back for 210 credits and am just about to give Zak a hearty helping of Nervegas when he calls up and surrenders. He was easily 2/3rd as high as me on the power chart and had about as many bases as me.
The problem is, the AI did exactly the right thing. My elite X-units would have torn through his empire. Just a turn later surrender would have been impossible. But now he is stronger than ever, and safe from the most lethal military force on planet.
