Who'd have thought a game from 1999 would have issues?

SMAC had some interesting choices with the unit designer irt to abilities. Making new garrisons for anti air when that pops up, for example. Marines for naval invasions and moving directly from ocean cities to land and vice versa without boats. Mind worm defense formers once you've pissed off planet enough.

If you're actually going for a conquest you're probably done before any of that is relevant, because the biggest and most important early game jump is getting the particle impactor (4 offense, 3rd level tech) on a speeder chassis
