I've been playing SMAC/X for quite a while, but I can bairly beat citizen.
Every time I try to, I either end up being a scientific powerhouse (usually 10 advances ahead) but having almost no military to speak of but having huge cash reserves (until the end, where I build everything in all my bases...)
Or I become a military powerhouse, but have no science and no cash for the rest of the game.
With situation 1, theres always another miltary powerhouse thats always seething, and I have to suck up to keep from being annialated.
With situation 2, theres always a scientific powerhouse that comes along, gets a lot of allies to declare war on me, and uses his advanced army to kill me.
In both situations, I usually have only 4-6 bases while everyone else continues to cut into my territory.
Early on, I can usually get elected as Planetary Govoner. However, I usually get ousted because I don't have enough votes (usually by yang, whos conquered everyone on his continent)
I notice that usually if I'm just left alone to build my wonders, the AI begins to really hate me.
Mainly I'm a builder, and a scientists who really doesn't like war (because i dont want to sacrafice science for war.) because I can't win.
Can anyone help?
