No No. 2!

I'm going back playing Vice City and Alpha Centauri, kick me awake when Civ4 and GTA:SA finally come out so I can go and boo them from EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH, AT LEAST HIGHER THAN AVERAGE ON NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CERTAINTY, MORAL GROUND.

And spit, too. Saliva for all!

You're on the path to redemption, maybe, Kashluk ? How Gregorian.

Alpha Centauri is undoubtedly the best game, superior to Civ III in many ways. More roboust of a combat system, a better morale system, wonderful social engineering system... The list does go on a bit.

I just pray that someday an AC II is made or that Civ 4 incorporates some of these features...

True, there was certainly a lot going on. In large battle situations it was not difficult to get very badly confused.

Ah.. why not?

If Fallout now has a sequel, why not this one? Just make sure Big Huge Games has the contract, not Firaxis. I don't believe in Sid Meiers.

How very much Frankorian of you, deer chap

I would die for AC II. I mean, literally, I'm dead before it will come out.

Blargh · Post by **Blargh** » Tue May 24, 2005 1:53 pm

Ah, but would Alpha Centauri II be created if you died for it ? If it would, we must arrange a meeting at some point, aye ?

How Kervolichian !

In that case, I would be proud to die for my obsession towards a turn-based strategy game that I technically won't even be able to enjoy, since I'd be in a lacking stance of living.

How Kaźmirkiewiczian of you, moose chap!

That's an actual name, now is it or is it not?

Shut up.

Ok, actually don't, 'cause you have to tell me about Alien Crossfire. Bigger maps, mebbe? Still 7 players? I would sooo play as that robotics race, do new ones have nice backgrounds?

ÃƒÂ�ęĝǔēőřÃƒÂ¡ÃƒÂ śťịķŏőņěÃƒÂ¤řįĥăÃƒÂ¶ỷżÃƒÂ®ķ was a little known martyr.

There's a little known drinking game that involves chanting his name as quickly as you can without mispronouncing it, and for every error, one has another shot of <deleted>.

Much like anyone reading one of Blargh's posts.

Are you under duress, Spazmo ?

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Tue May 24, 2005 6:28 pm

Not at all, my good Blargh, it simply seemed the suitable thing do say. Think nothing of it--as I'm sure is one's habitual reaction to my comments.

@Koki, haven't played Alien Crossfire myself, but I hear it doesn't add anything revolutionary - just some more goodies that make the game even more enjoyable. But it's not something you can't play Alpha Centauri without.

Just noticed that I can't use the AC-acronym anymore, since Alien Crossfire and Alpha Centauri both use it. AlCr and AlCe ?

Koki · Post by **Koki** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:00 pm

SMAC is the official acronym for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri AFAIK

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:06 pm

Well AFAIK ROFL IE. AC is just EASIER to use than MOST. What is Alien Crossfire then, SMACAC? SMAC:AC? AC:AC? 1:1? | ?

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:13 pm

SMAX. X for eXpansion. Or so I'm told.
