also the relative ease of movement across ocean tiles allows you to scout fast and grab a LOT of unity pods. even on maps with heaps of fungal bloom you can scout way faster.

ConanTheLibrarian posted:best to set up a conference call to hash out the optimal branching strategy imo not sure if you're joking but im in west aus UTC+8 which puts me at around 12 hours time diff to most yosposters in the US (except for dimey and i guess echi is closer). this is partly why pbem is more appealing to me than playing live and stuff.

doing hit-and-run probe teams with believers can be hilarious. also it's already been mentioned but gaians all-in on psy with mind worms will just decimate anyone who isn't prepared for it (remember to mix psy-resistant units into your army!)

i'm getting ERROR READING FILE when trying to open it already sent an e-mail back to you Luigi30 UPDATE: lol i'm an idiot and didn't notice that when you launch SMAC via GOG Galaxy it only launches the base game and not the expansion. launching terranx.exe manually sorted it!

the only person who would have an excuse to play so slowly might be smoka as i suspect the probes now extend to they internet connection proper (FCC approved) guess that's the price you pay for a fast and hard anime lifestyle

i probably should have posted here, I DM'd cazlab on twitter on the 20th, cazlab is out with pinkeye and are aware that glorg will be taking over their turn. not sure if cazlab will be back soon though. oh and as Chairman Yang of the Hive I fully endorse equipping all units with nerve gas, including non-combat units like formers, supply crawlers and especially colony pods
