Just passing by the forum

Haven't been here in a while, mostly because I haven't played CTP2 since, well, before X-mas I think. Actually, I went back to playing some single-player Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire (this is besides my regular pbem games, but I don't expect you CTP2 fans to know about pbem and I forgot how great a game AC/X is, even despite its bugs. In fact, it is so much better and on so many levels than CTP2, I can't even understand why I stopped playing AC/X in the first place.

Can't wait for Civ III- "Get back! Get back! Get back to where you once belonged!"

I was going to post the same thing about Civ2.
I haven't played CTP2 since before christmas as well. About 4 days ago I started a game of CIV2 and it really made me remember what a great game it was!! AND how much it still puts every CTP title to shame: (1) the computer actually initiates conversation. (2) the computer actually attacks!! (3) its fun to play. ETC, ETC.
The only thing I truly miss about CTP2 is the public works. I must admit this is one great idea.
I will have a hard time going back to CTP2 although I may try it again when another patch comes out...um...if another patch comes out that is.

I gave up SMAC because the terrain is boring and bland. It's all basically three colors with minimum variation compared to Earth terrain.

I seriously did get sick of the monotonous terrain in SMAC.

Well, as far as SMAC[x] is concerned, to each their own. All I know is that, the more I play AC/X, the more I like it; the less I play CTP2, the more I like it!
