So... Who's Idea Was it to Have Nimoy do the Voiceovers?
Whoever came up with that should be forced to play The Sims his entire life.
What happened to Miriam, emphatically warning those of us who seek first and final principles? What happened to the smug Morgan, sharing with us his plans to live forever? What happened to the sad but optimistic Deirdre, promising us not to confront planet as an enemy?
All we got is Leonard Nimoy, speaking as if he's in the middle of a long, deep sleep?
"If you chase two rabbits, you will catch none"... "Mmmm... where's my coffee and breakfast?
".
Religion.
The resources and health system.
Doing the Civ I tune and intro at the start of a game.
Nimoy.
And dont get me started on the wonder movies. There is a purpose for these movies and that purpose is adding flavor to the game and making it easier for the player to "feel" the world. After hearing Yang telling me that pain is merely information before the senses, I could play the game, imagine and feel Yang's secret police torture dissidents. After hearing about the sunny domes and caves of ice I could imagine and feel the Gaian citizens walking around smiling and looking on the beautiful gardens.
Wonder movies take a lot of effort to make, in SMAC that effort made the game great. With Civ 4, all that effort was wasted. No, looking on Notre Dam being built does not make me feel any more "in" the game.
Speaking of wonder movies, why do they and the intro movie stutter so much? Was the technology of smoothly playing movies forgotten?
