No problem! I hope we make a strong enough showing to get them thinking.

Oh, that was after Alpha Centauri came out, and Firaxis decided to shutdown their forum.

I voted for Colonization, as it's more due for a remake than SMACX.

[Senethro]

Traitor! The fanboy in me prevents me acknowledging anything else as worthy.

(btw, I've never played colonization. Whats it like?)

[livid imp]

After my vote it is up to 52% this morning (May 4th) with a rock'n 30 point lead

Furthermore, I vote we knight slappy for bringing this to our attention, and make the traitor Sikander his squire/shoe-shine boy for his blasphemous remarks.

I was also happy to note how many people understand gameplay is what it is all about.

4. Graphics or Gameplay?
Percent Answer
3% It’s gotta be pretty
54% Balance is the key
43% Who cares about graphics?

Ok, I decided to vote for SMAC2... I've always wanted a sequel to SMAC, and this desire overcomes any doubts I may have about who is going to create it...

If they do it right, they'll make the graphics moddable, and if someone wants to go crazy on the graphics, they'd have the ability to do so.

Uhh... tough call for me...

A new Covert Action... what a great idea!
Could finally be an Ego-Shooter with much much more strategy, travelling etc. Less "just shoot like hell" and more tactics/thinking, riddle solving, car hunting, observation etc. (More brain, less pain ).
Basically (perfectly) balanced like the good old original game.
And if it would have a MP modus and be well done... WOW!

Colonization would be nice, too. But I hope the FreeCol (or what ever it is or will be called) will do.
ACAX... of course, but more a better/newer version and no re-make.

Really tough for me... I've chosen Covert Action... sorry

[Commy]

SMAC in the lead with 55%...

It's really dated now, and even then suffered with little support. But it had some really cool concepts, like population points which were mobile and had individual skill sets and functioned as workers, settlers or soldiers. You could build schools, colleges and universities and train your generic population units to become more specialized, which made them more productive in their chosen field.

There were numerous things your workers could produce, and moderately complicated steps for producing more complicated things like muskets, cannon, ships. Economically the game was head and shoulders above any of the Civilization games. A builder's paradise, though like every game in the entire Civ universe, still a pretty poor wargame.

58% with a 39 point lead over Colonization.

I wonder how many are direct from Apolyton.

I was annoyed that I had to choose a favorite gameing platfor aside from the PC. I have played exactly one game on something besides a PC, and it was at a friends house.
