Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Progress from Civ2 to SMAC was probably like the one from Civ1 to Civ2. The reason so many people were thrown off by it was its setting, namely the future which people couldn't relate to. In concept, SMAC is excellent. Because the story is "set" people feel like they have lost a certain amount of control.
Yes, that´s it! SMAC was great but the fractions took a great deal of freedom from the player as the story did!
But nevertheless SMAC has great roots!
So I'm not the only one who didn't play SMAC. And I thought I was the only one.
As a side note did anyone enjoy the description part of the CtP advances- that was one of the few things they did well?
