      The kind that makes us want to slit our wrists at pushing 300 units around seperately each turn. I love it

            The potential of that game was so great, the implentation was so poor that if it didn't have the Star Trek lore supporting it, it would be completely unplayable as opposed to just often unplayable.

              O'course some would say that the fact its Star Trek based would make it completely unplayable in itself.

                  A year ago I would have voted SMAX, but I think Dominions II now claims the title.

                    Hey quantum, was up.. long time no see.

                    I haven't played Dominions II in a while either. Though it is fun, I'll give you that, it is also very hard. However, I bet it is probably the best TBS for PBEM

                        Civ3 and SMAC/X are equivelant to me as both deserving sequels of civ 2 (branched in two directions)

                          SMAC is great (to me) because it combines very mature story-line elements with a TBS. You are not so much playing a "nation" in teh civ sense as you are "role-playing" a faction/faction leader. You lead your faction through the drama of the story, and you're choices/strategies as a leader impact the outcome of that story. There's a gazillion small reasons why, standing alone, it is a great TBS, but the combination of a great story that really shows BR's education and a TBS is the primary reason I think its a great game.

                          Oh and lest I forget, the fact that the planet itself is a character just makes more mondo coolness in the integration of story-tbs.

                              I have never heard of a good Star Trek game (shame) and there have been very very few good star wars games.

                                I have mostly switched over to playing Dominions that are played in one or two sittings, with players on the GameSurge #dominions IRC channel. It works so well, I have actually given up the PBEM kind.
