Well I don't, stop spaming the Spore thread.
Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila -

No word on canibalism.

"There are also micro-strategy/RTS elements that take the form of conquering nearby settlements. We found that the jackhammer approach of simply selecting all of your units to swarm on one adversary was the best way forward, but the combat is bound to get more complex as tribe numbers increase and the phase develops. There was also the option to form productive relations with nearby tribes, which once again opens up the befriending option. As with all the game phases (apart from Cell), disasters such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strikes and UFO attacks can disrupt proceedings at any point, in a typically Will Wright style.
The fourth phase is Civilization where the map opens up to reveal the whole planet. What we saw of this phase was certainly a simplistic take on Sid Meier's Civilization, although it does have all the basic trimmings of the genre. As one of a number of city sized settlements on the map, your ultimate aim is to conquer the planet by Economic, Religious or Military means. Economic and Religious conquest will tend towards diplomatic strategies, while Military conquest goes with the bog-standard extermination strategy.
The micro-strategy of Tribe is replaced in Civilization by more of a macro-strategy approach; although we would point out that combat was more like an RTS than a turn based strategy game. It's a straightforward and rudimentary take on strategy gaming, but Maxis are being careful not to alienate some of the more casual gamers that will no doubt be attracted to Spore. This goes a long way in explaining why there's a cutesier feel to the various game phases rather than the serious, in-depth features of a hardcore RPG/RTS/4X strategy game. "
