A few weeks (months?) ago, I posted of how crappy Smac was  Recently, I started playing the demo again and I have re-confirmed this 
Smac seems to be a nice game but its too damn easy. The real game (not the demo) is harder, right? It has to be.
Using the Spartans as a base, I quickly created a pseudo-Nazi state (free market economics and police state [early on, that is. Later, I switched it to fundamentalism]). The only problem with this was that I had a hell of a time researching technologies but I quickly solved this by intimidating (and befriending) everyone else into giving me their technologies. The game (as nearly every game of Smac I have played), ended with a Right vs Left conflict in which the Hive, the environmentalists, and the intellectuals were pitted against my faction (the spartans), the morganites, and the believers with the UN peacekeepers in between changing sides occasionally (although, I have found, that if they are elected planetary governor during the start of such a conflict, they will immediately join the rightists).
All in all, the game isn't that bad and I actually like it although it is a tad too easy.

Eventually a corrupt system was itself corrupted, and the logic of terror reached its logical conclusion: a humble rabbit, cornered by a fox, has nothing to lose by striking out, and rabbits have teeth, and sometimes the rabbit gets lucky.

There are Challenges out there for all of you out there that think you are all that and a bag of chips, but only have the demo. Also, try multiplayer. I guatantee that you will lose.

Narck, unless I missed something, this IS the SMAC forum.

SMAC easy?
I'd put it this way: the AI is easy.
The *game* is hard.
