Do you know of any modern recapture of the SMAC majesty shallow_thought?
I tried playing SMAC but it is way to archaic for me to really get into (I'm too spoiled graphics and interface wise, grew up playing Age of Empires and Empire Earth), even though I love it's concepts. I've tried several so-called "spiritual succesors", but none of them really clicked for me. Pandora: First Contact is needlessly overcomplex in some ways (the micromanagement OMG) and extremely shallow in others (the entire game is a pure conquest rush with the occasional nod to SMAC with a quest). Beyond Earth is just an insult to the original, even I can see that and I've barely even played the original!
