SMAC looks to be the best

[Franklin]

Aside form the fact that I have always said "Follow Sid" because He made Civ I and II great there was a good interview at the game spot http://www.gamespot.com/features/alp...198/index.html
After reading this I am more convinced than ever that SMAC has the most potential than all the other civ clones

[St Leo]

I agree.:-)

[Depp]

I they can balance that game, well then they are all gods of the universe. But i think it's impossible.

By the way, why is it called Sid Meiers AC since he has done almost nothing on this game?

[St Leo]

Because he playtested it all the time, made suggestions, and co-designed. He just didn't code anything.

[fred]

AC has better new ideas but what i've seen of the graphics i personally perfer cctp.

[Depp]

Since i love this game type i will get each and every game that is released, but i got the feeling SMAC will be...not quite as satisfying as CTP. Future Civ games have never been really intresting to me before although i tried alot of em.
Wonder if CTP also will be delayed till after christmas... It seem like it's a trend or something.

[St Leo]

People, remember the lynch mob plan. If the game is delayed we get down to wherever Activision is located and tar'n'feather Lil' John.

[Starchild]

Tar'n'feather? Old-fashioned. What we should do is wire his brain to a computer and force him to play games so poorly designed that he eventually snaps and holds the rest of the CTP team hostage until the game is released. Any ideas on what game(s) we should force him to play?

[Depp]

Destiny.....It's in the same style too!

[MasterDave]

For the purpose of torturing Lt. John with a direct neural connection to a bad strategy game, I suggest Ascendency, Stars!, or Star Wars Rebellion. All of which are exquisitely boring.....

[Mentat]

I didn't realize that there were such large occupational hazards associated with game development!

Die'n Learn!!!!!!

[LT John]

Yikes!

[fred]

leave LT John alone! well as long as they get the game to me on time. to go on with the what franklin started i can't wait for AC to come out. okay it doesn't have the best graphics (ctp has the best) but AC does have costume units, the factions, 3D map, and so on.
