Where can I find a printable tech tree?

I have him on ignore for the last few weeks, Skanky. I got bored of the constant insults.

I'd love to know what he said to make you respond :

I object. My spam was not mindless.

In response to Skanky making a post,
"I see some mindless spammers have shown up."

Now someone needs to quote me and repost.
heh. Jamski must be seeing a few tripleposts by now.

LOL, thanks for the welcome, Enigma. Rest assured, I am, after all, just an average person. Yup. Just an average person with above average super powers....

Funny thing is, I stumbled upon Apolyton completely by accident. I was looking online to buy a copy of SMAC last week, discovered there was an expansion, and then discovered this site. Oh, it was a happy day.

Now that I'm here, I gotta say: You guys are nuts! (And I don't mean "nutrients"!) I never knew people analyzed the game like that. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Question: what drove you to seek out a copy of an decade old game?

Tis ironic that its me doing the quoting.

[Enigma_Nova]

Why don't you ever quote?

[Skanky Burns]

I tend not to quote people who take jabs at me for no reason. Or even respond to them.

[Illuminatus]

Good idea Jamski! Never even thought of putting him on ignore list.

[Jamski]

He's the only one I've ever had to resort to these measures with.

And you know what? My life has got better without reading the constant barrage of personal abuse.

Sure, people have a right to post what they like, but why should I have to see it?

All right then, a five-years old game -which wasn't state-of-the-art graphically even when it was released (NB: for the avoidance of doubt I still think the gameplay is unsurpassed)

[Jamski]

Probably someone told them just how bloody good the game is.

That's kind of how it went. I played the game way back when it first came out (and before that I was a huge Civ I fan, but not as crazy as you guys of course!), and absolutely loved it for the brief time I played it. The problem was, it was my brother's friend's copy, which turned out to be a burned copy, so I stopped playing.

I haven't played any of the Civ sequels, and I'm actually not much of a gamer, but ever since then I've kept thinking, "Man, that was a bloody good game!" Well, something to that effect. Anyway, my brother, who is a diehard gamer, said to me the other day, "Why don't you just buy it instead of complaining that there haven't been any good games since?"

I was dumbfounded. I'd never thought of that before. So I bought the game, found this website and read some of the strategies, and I've finally learned, for the first time, the value and power of the crawler.

Thank you, thank you, you're too kind. And that's the end of my unnecessarily long story!

P.S.--By the way, what's with the bad blood around here?

[Skanky Burns]

What bad blood?

[gwillybj]

Something in the water, maybe? Might want to have the well checked after the spring melt.
Oh, and welcome, ryc730! You are aware that the entrance to Apolyton is a one-way portal?

must be a DL

but I think we only do the DL dance in off-topic

great to see new people take an interest in smac. or re-interest.

[Skanky Burns]

Yeah, no DL dancing here. Here we welcome new people.
