Yeah, we just need needlejet colony pods and needlejet great artists. And then some paratroopers.

They're babbling about SMAC.


Real Civvers know that in order to railroad coast, you need to load your settler (worker) onto a boat first.

it worked in Civ 1

oh not me. my favorite was foil (or heavy ship, later) probe units! The game would have been more challenging if the AI had figured out how to build probes on different chassises
supply crawlers with armor were a close second!

Apologies for the OT diversion - I was actually originally going to say they came a close second to foil probes. BUT then I remembered the time when someone to my east was prepping a base site (putting roads, a sensor, forests down... all that jazz) between our respective territories (albeit a decent chunk closer to his than mine!). So I, being the Drones and being far, far ahead of him, rushed a needlejet colony pod, flew it over there and beat him to the site by one turn, plopping my base right on the sensor and dropping in a couple of defenders the same turn. He had nothing to counter it (not sure he even had jets at the time) and was PISSED.

Blast from the past! (This was probably back in 1999-2000...!)
