  • Important Concepts

    I recently got SMAC, and looking through this forum I see a flurry of information, more then I can absorb at once.

    What concepts are the most important?

    The SMAC Academy pretty much encapsulates a majority of the most important ideas, and is a very good place to learn how to ramp up your game quickly.

      Get a one page tech tree so you can see how the techs are linked and what they do. Theres a link to one in the d=me thread. Then start to learn about terraforming and how you can change production of food, minerals and energy.

      Then if you just play, things like drone control, the military model and diplomacy will just arise with time. Things like governmental changes are important to better play but can be ignored while you learn the basics

        The most important concenpt in my opinion since i can't remember using them particularly well when i first started is crawlers. Build lots and when you've got lots build some more.
        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.
