Stupid Aliens

Wonder if the Aliens have a santa claus or an easter bunny...

No, they have a 'Surprise Launcher' on Rebellion Day and Blooming Break!

I just hate their annoying voices. It's painful to listen to.

I',ve never played SMAC or SMAX with the sound on.

It didn't seem like I was getting any info from the sound and it was distracting. Am I missing something?

I can't play games without sound. Even a game with simplistic sounds such as smac.

speaking of sound. Has anyone had problems with units making the wrong sounds in smax? I have seen psi units make the "laser" sounds. Is there any way to correct this? I only had this problem after I installed the expansion. I figured some of them were intended (as I noticed the expansion introduced some new combat sounds which I like alot). But some seem out of place.

Compared to most games of this sort you are missing a lot. Nothing which will hurt your game mind you, but you miss out on a lot of great voiceovers, the environmental "music" (which I like) and some sound effects (some of which are lame, especially weapons). I'd turn it on and play through the game a few times and experience every voiceover at least once.

Try installing the original sounds (SMAC thus) on another place of your HD, search for the sounds folder, listen to them all and make a cross check with the ones in your SMACX folder. Overwrite where necessary.

Ok, this crashes the game when you get to the part where you choose the factions to be in the game.

Replace the progenitors with some other string, so that you have 2 believers or so..
