    See senethro's post for the answer to that.

    I thought that I was the strongest faction in that upload.
    I dont mean the AI is blowing past you. I mean you are not doing so hot compared to other save games. Take a look at this game, another i played, and note carefully the mission year time comparison. And i myself am behind in that game. So you see there is plenty of room for improvement here.
    if you want to stop terrorism; stop participating in it

      I need 20 bases right? It's hard to get the bases big since I laid forests and boreholes everywhere.

      And the tech question again, at this stage there isn't an infrastructure tech like IA that is crucial to beeline for right? Doesn't matter as much to research for now right?

      • While no tech is quite as important as IA,that dosnt mean there are no MUST HAVE techs. These techs are very important beelines

        MMI
        Fusion Power
        Planetary Econ
        Biomachinery

        Or if you want a long range target, head for Advanced Spaceflight

        Keep researching like mad

          20 bases are a good start,but you could stop with 10. or you could make 100. all depends.

          i highly recommend you load that 2110-2143 sav i just posted and look it over carefully.

            You left the bases empty? What about the mind worms or an aggressive faction taking advantage of this? And worms can suddenly pop out and go into one of those bases.

            And Velociryx said that if the techs don't turn into tangible things they can't help you in a war.

            And you seem to have ignored most of the SPs for base building. Are SPs not important?

            And why are you building the transport foils when they are not carrying anything? Are you using them to explore? I usually wait for my pact brothers to upload the map for free and didn't really explore.

            Instead of asking everytime I progress a little, how do you determine which tech is a must have? Like these techs are all level 7 or below.

              FORGET ABOUT THE "LEVEL" OF A TECH-- IT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL.

              Seriously-- look at a tech for what it actually allows you to do and the otehr techs it leads to


              There is no one golden tech path-- you can play how you want-- but as the university you can get IA so quickly and it is so powerful that it is almsot always the right choice. BUT you could have gone for nonlinear match and doc mob and try to rover rush your neighbors.

              Assuming you go IA I have already listed the 3 most common nect choices as being the short flex beeline, getting weapons or going restrictions lifting. After that the usual goals are Doc air, MMI and then fusion-- After that it usually don't matter since most ganmes are won around the time fusion appears. It effectively doubles the strength of your units so if you have it and no one else does, you can conquer a good portion of the map in short order
              You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

              • Seriously, one should make a thread where he plays smac and step by step explains what to do when, preferably rich with screenies and attached saves.
                -- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.
                -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

                  • I did make a succession game suggestion earlier in the thread. And me and Cata have discussed some possible variants with the intent to educate.

                    Are we interested?

                      Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

                        Hmm the PTS and Empath Guild are pretty important. PTS is a base helping SP.

                        Popping pods gives major bonuses, and using transports is a great way to load up on them. especialy alien artifacts

                          Then i will lose a base. Clear, yes? As for an agressive faction-the AI is just to dumb to get there and attack.

                          I havnt lost an ungarrisoned base yet

                            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
