	A curious question? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I am curious is there anyone who plays SMAC or SMACX anymore? It seems everyone is playing that make believe game commonly called the democracy game of smac? I have plans for a very extensive mod for smacx if there are players. I will have 2 versions one for MP and one for single play. I am hoping that people still like to play "real" games and not a fictional one Seems these democracy game is the only headlines on this site these days. Myself I need graphics not an old paper D&D style game. But what do I know I am an outsider looking in bewilderment at something I do not understand.
I am hoping that there is interest before I complete the mod.

	Increase Your PM Length

Bring it on! I play SMAC almost daily. The Democracy game is there to boost up activity here, to bring in more registered members, to increase interest in SMAC, and of course, to get bigger postcounts.

demo games aren't make-believe . its just, only one person physically plays it, and we havn't started yet.

myself, i do both, and use what i do in SP in the demo game.

True... I mean, most people would then quit posting at Emperor... 'cause Deity is just impossible without OT posts counting.

	I am shocked! Inflate your Upload Space

Shocked and pleased all at the same time. I had no idea that anyone let alone 12 or more people still playing SMAC & SMACX. I had burnt out on SMACX trying to make a scenario and factions to populate it. The constant day in day out testing of different aspects just made me literally hate the game. That was about 6 months before civ3 hit the shelves. Civ3 came, I expected a lot I guess. I mean I expected, good things of civ2 and all the great things you can do in SMAC & SMACX. I will stop there you all know the story, diplomacy simply sucks in Civ3. Very hard to make mods with it, still fun to play, I am part of a team making mods and scenarios for it. I am hearing rumors that the PTW will solve a bunch of issues. I will believe that when my own eyes.
I am in the process of making a unigue scenario and along with or slightly later a mod that will also be unique. My friend and I want to bring new life into SMACX (hopefully ) Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate it. One question though, where are the web sites that used to be up carrying all of the files? Poly isn't updating his files no more at all. Sometime this fall I will be releasing a beta of my scenario. Only 3 MP and single player mission too.

There's still an active PBEM community of, I'd say, 50 or so in PBEMs on the three forums

	Put an end to popups!

I often restrict myself posting at Apolyton only to have more time to play SMAX.

I can't play on my computer because my SO hogs it to play SMACX.

Sometimes I get tired of SMAC for a week or two and play Test of Time or SimCity, but I always come back in the end.

Happens also sometimes to me. Then it is time for Might and Magic (mostly 6 and 7) or more Apolyton.

	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I got bored of playing SMAC about a half year ago (after playing for about 1.5 years ), so I only play a couple of games a month, usually the CGN challenge.

Warcraft 3 currentely occupies most of my gaming time.

	/em hijacks thread Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I got WCIII, and I enjoyed the single player, but I'd hardly call it a strategy game, when there's only one way to win: build fast and kill the most creeps. Whoever has the toughest hero wins, every time.
