they were saying they didn't want to do a smac remake and told people as much, which, fair enough. but it still came really short of what most people expected, even without the inevitable comparisons to smac

anthonypants posted:i never played it but if you looked at civ 3 and thought their not-smac space game was going to be good, well, it's so very frustrating that civ exploded into three franchises: smac, civ 3, and civ:ctp out of the three, the worst one survived. civ 3, 4, 5, and 6 have all been awful

civ 4 needs its expansions to be truly good. smac was fantastic out of the box and the expansion mainly filled in some gaps (more stuff for sea bases) and added a different play style (progenitors)

not sure why, honestly. it's one of those things that literally everyone loved about smac. i guess it's the fact that it isn't included by default in any engine, as you said. kinda have to custom build the thing. i can't imagine it's that hard, though

when dnd tried this quite a while ago they did the first 50 turns in a marathon with everyone online at once and in irc or something. those that couldn’t make it had someone else take their turns. seems like that might be a really good idea here?
