SMAC Political Parties
Note: Please keep this topic strictly about your SMAC
political ideas only!
As most of you will know, the U.S. has two main political
parties - Republicans and Democrats. In the U.K. I believe
they are known as Conservatives/Tory and Liberal. Anyway
here are what I believe their political ideas and philosophies
would be in the world of SMAC.
Republican -
- Limited federal powers (meaning you, the player, wouldn't
control each base individually but allow AI governors to make
most decisions)
- Low economy (tax) rate and high psychology rate
- Strong national defense (military)
- Emphasis on orbital missile defense
- Interest in planet busters for "peace through power"
- Pro "Free Markets" and tough on "Drone Riots"
Democratic -
- Federal control of faction (meaning you, the player,
would make nearly all decisions at all levels and limiting
base governor powers)
- High economy (tax) rate and average psychology rate
- Less emphasis on national defense
- little interest in orbital missile defense
- Interest in conventional means rather than planet busters
- Pro "Planned or Green Markets" and easy on "Drone Riots"
Now, maybe you don't fit perfectly in the SMAC Republican
or Democratic category, and maybe you don't always play the
same type of game but which would you consider yourself and
are your ideas a "moderate" or "strong?"
I would consider myself a SMAC STRONG REPUBLICAN because
I always build a strong military, build planet busters ASAP,
rely on Orbital defense for safety, I always give my A.I. governor
moderate control over my individual bases, try to keep tax rates
down, I am very tough on drones and I believe in free markets.
