I choose Microprose over Activision.

After comparing the software that has been released by these 2 companies, I have found some startling facts.

Microprose games don't require extensive forums of modification to understand how to exact some challenge from the computer simulated intelligence.

Activision games have pretty graphics and development teams twice the size of Microprose, but they can never seem to understand what the player wants.

Just remember, one is a simulation company and they do simulations, the other is a company that made Colecovision a hit and specializes in arcade games.

Who is to blame for the complaints for the lack of AI? Is it really the customer's fault for posting their reaction to this software? Nope, it's the fault of Robert Kotick, Brian Kelly, and Ronald Doornink. The programmers did only what was cleared by management.

Only if Hasbro buys Activision will this fiasco disappear.

Maybe it's because Firaxis give us game
that are already playable and challenging

Anyway, thx to all mod makers !
Your work is appreciated.

the same hasbro that released Axis and Allies, which gets my vote as the most disappointing strategy game ever. Even Risk was more intelligent and thats not saying much. Oh wait, Risk is another Hasbro "game".

a couple of things...

1) smac was made by firaxis
2) microprose had financial problems and was bought by hasbro interactive, a part of the hasbro group
3) hasbro recently sold hasbro interactive(along with microprose of course) to infogrames
