Incorrect, good sir.

It is SMACX.

The expansion adds increased protection against Planet Busters and various missiles, adds two new warheads (Fungus and Tectonic) a new weapon (Attack 30, AKA HOLY SHIT.) and other new techs that help other, weaker strategies from the first game.

They also break the "Hunter-Seeker Algorithm" protection, with a new unit ability.

Actually, fuck me trying to list it all of the top of my head. Go here:

For some reason the main pages for AC and ACX are gone. Whatever.

What about amputation and burning?

Sometimes I would really enjoy seeing, or even better participating in, your head amputated. Or burned. Preferably both.

One is okay, I can even take some pleasure in reading his posts, but 2 would be too much!

Kashluk is not Blargh (huzzah !), hence, it can be emulation only. A PALE SHADOW.

You, Kashluk, are none other than a PALE SHADOW OF DARKNESS.

Really, shadows are never given to EUPHORIA. It just doesn't work that way. You silly bastard. :drunk:

Is it so opaque ?

Comparatively, writing to ground glass applied most liberally, enthusiastically, to one's orbits. You appear to be a literal, literary masochist. Consequently, you evoke feelings of dismay, unease. An action with an (one would think) obvious reaction, met with an unexpected response is potentially and often disturbing.

Whatever woolies your mammoth, D5it-m38. :drunk:

oi
*bump*
Civ4 is drawing nearer.
Tech tree has been released...
Modern day tech is severely cut though :/
And I am still bothered by the descision to decrease no of units :/
I feel civ3 has too few, and if civ4 is to have even fewer it may be the chit...

Religion seems interesting though....

LABIA!
whats AC anyways?
I only know of 2 strategy games worth playing right now, and they're CivIII & Europa Universalis 2.
But yah.... parts of civ4 seem to suck... especially the few units part.
How is one supposed to develop a good combat strategy if there are few units. I just cant wrap my hear round this one.
