I am very interested, but:
- I have never strolled around forums to know more about the game so I just tried something (beat the highest level). In hindsight it was monarch style at most. Meaning: hey, I'd like a tip or two
- I can't start my SMAC on XP
It should be possible, but it didn't work out so far.
- I love to play as Deirdre
...well it doesn't matter to me, but I loved to be very environmental.
The unit workshop really is smashing:
- I built ships that could do spy missions and captured cities this way
- I made flying pods to settle over the globe
