Yes, its back, the Apolyton Game of the Month!
To take part simply place the attached file in the scenarios folder of your SMAC installation, and select "Play Scenario" from the main menu.
When you're done, post up your findings and results here using the [spoiler] tags and any tips for people getting hammered. There will of course be the usual bragging rights for the ones getting the highest scores and fastest wins, as well as the right to design the next GOTM should they so wish.
As this is the May/June game, it will run at least till the end of June. Who says we can't have longer months?
About the May-June Game
If you'd rather be surprised, stop reading now!
The Unity had enough escape pods for every faction to have two for the emergency landing on Planet. Unfortunately the pods launched from the starboard side of the ship had their nav-consoles scrambled, and landed on the wrong side of Planet's central ocean, the Mittelmer Sea.
Each faction has two pods, placed opposite each other on a (very roughly) doughnut shaped continent, sandwiched between aggressive neighbours. In order to dominate Planet, the best action leaders will find a way to join the two halfs of their factions as soon as possible.
All normal rules are in effect, the difficulty is Transcend, and the starting faction is the University. Unfortunatly both of your colony teams thought the other team had the free tech, so it got lost somewhere.
As mentioned by Obstructor - this is a SMAC game. Playing it in SMAX will get some strange results, which you can read about here in this thread.
Have fun, and watch out for the mindworms!

Silly eggheads!
I see you added some units with graphics Darsnan used. Is scenario buggy? When I reach a certain point it causes an error in terran.exe and game crashes. When I replay the turn, the same thing again. This has happened on three various occasions again
