Welcome on board. It's always good to have a new Smacx player join.

Now that you have discovered the forum, please check the technical issues for IP and actually playing the game: boring things like have you got the appropriate update/ patches and have you also installed Hamachi.

And then if you have time there is a massive archive of tips to brush up on.

Next check the rules we play by. For instance playing by Pbem tech trading between factions was usually acceptable. However our IP rules lock out tech trading between factions, if I understand it correctly.

Anyway welcome and enjoy.

We start around 9-10pm GMT ... but we are playing for several hours ...

For hamachi install and how it works just read first post in the thread. It's very, very simple...

As for SMAX ... if you can't help yourself ... well. read my PM
We can play SMAC ... but SMAX 2.0 with XP patch is much better (fixed many bugs).

NEW GAME

Seems like we will have to start a new game on friday.
Who's interested? Shall we play SMAC...

[Korusho]

If SMAC I would be honored to join in. Im running SMAC 4.0 - I believe thats the current version.

Ok I got Hamachi set up. If anyone could help me join a game in hamachi today that would be very helpful for the following reasons:

1) The real game will launch smoothly, without any complications from my noobness.
2) I could learn the rules in a brief one hour game, with rushed turns - not to try to win but to school me in the basics of rules and multiplaying etc.
3) If someone would be so kind, teach me some basic strategies.

I have ventrillo and MSN messenger - both are capable of voice communication so we could do 1-3 very efficiently. Anyone?

Hi welcome.

I wish things weren't left to the last minute to organise..

Anyway, i'm gonna wake up tomorrow in the hopes of playing some alpha, so lets not disapoint me because I am cranky in the mornings

In terms of SMAC - just DL smacx. I presume thats what he sent you in his PBEM, coz. Smacx, is way better.

In terms of strategies, read the guide, I posted earlier in this thread.


i'll see you guys in the morning
