I think thats just Tony, everyone else on the modcast seemed to be fine with EA.
Plus since EA owns the rights to Alpha Centauri, if they merge with Take2...

But seriusly? I don't really have a problem with the take over by EA, I do have a problem with a few of the ultralarge companies gobbling up all the others.
And SMAC 2 would be wonderfull.As long as they don't make it an RTS

The campaigns could provide a great story. And the factions could be completely different, similar to StarCraft. The Gaians with native life units and psi casters. The Consciousness with robotic units, the Spartans the usual modern military, the Progenitors with Battle Ogres...

Don't get me wrong I would love a SMAC RTS, movie and MMORPG.
But not before they make another TBS.![]()

Good episode. I hadn't checked out FFH because I wasn't that interested in a fantasy game using the Civ engine (especially with me still barely 1/3rd of the way thru Baldur's Gate II,) but after hearing about it I will definitely take a look.

LMFAO
you guys are great

That is one serious backlog if you are currently working through Baldars Gate II (great game though). Though I have been playing Diablo II and Final Fantasy IX lately, so I guess I dont have that much room to talk.Originally posted by jkp1187

To be fair, I didn't start playing it until September 2005....then immediately stopped once Civilization IV was released in October. I didn't wander back to it (and actually start a new game) until last month. (Then promptly stopped once the 3.17 BtS patch was released.)Originally posted by Murg
