    Favorite AC and Civ2 wonder flicks.

    I am sure this has already been asked, long ago, but I need the break. So, what are your favorite wonder or secret project pics from Civ2 and AC?

    From Civ2:

    1. Bach's cathedral
    2. Hoover Damn
    3. Colossus

    from AC:

    1. Voice of Planet
    2. the Cloning Vats
    3. The Space Elevator

      It's been so long since I spent time with Civ2 that I can't rightly remember, but for me, in SMAX, the two hands down winners are:

      1) The Cloudbase Academy....gets the blood pumping every time!

      2) The Dream Twister. Those spooky, eerie, horrible images followed by these white words, imprinted on an all black screen:

      Three blind mice
      Three blind mice
      See how they run
      See how they run.....

      ~Assassin's Redoubt - Final transmission



      A masterpiece. Makes you reeeeally not want to know exactly what occured there, but gives you a chilling idea nonetheless.

        I've mostly forgotten them, but I remember I loved the Planetary Datalinks one, maybe because of Lal's tone

        Hey, why is this thread in the OT ? What are you doing to our postcount ?

          This is an OT question, is it not?

          Hell, I would be half-way to emperor right now if this forum colunted, but it doesn't, so I remain a Prince.

              isn't it "Mary had a little lamb"?

              Agree with above, virtual world and singularity inductor are pretty cool too

                The single best wonder movie EVER created is the Hanging Gardens from Civ 2, in my opinion.

                    I don't remember any of them from SMACX

                    But Civ 2
                    1. Great Library
                    2. Colossus
                    3. Shakespeare's Theatre

                      In SMAC...

                      1. Dream Twister. For the reasons Vel mentioned.
                      2. Self-Aware Colony. Best CG of all the movies, length, and images from inside a futuristic colony. Also, does a very good job of conveying that feeling of being watched.
                      3. Cloning Vats. A whole boatload of style in this one, and an implication of an ethical question.

                          A lot of the live action video used in SMAC comes from a video/movie which explores the ethical issues in the world through silent documentary. I think it was called Bakura but it's been sooooo long since I've seen it....
                          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                          -Richard Dawkins
