They just could never figure out how to make the combat in these games fun and it's not due to a lack of depth.

Best sci-fi game.

Who was in the 8th escape pod that exploded?

What was their ideology? and what was the faction leader like?

is there a retro game that can qualify as true ludo?

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours-- the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.

Yang has me surrounded with about 50 needlejets, i have a mindworm nearby and a planet buster ready.

ive read mind worms can be "released" turning them native and thereby attackable. Im willing to nuke my own city to take out yangs airpower but i dont know how to release the mind worm to create a nukeable target

plz help

also alpha centauri thread :)

Can anyone tell me anything about this game? I have done nothing but play high action nonstop shlock for years but every single quote I hear from this just strikes me as brilliant remark representing a certain kind of ideology.

I don't think I've ever been more interested in a game yet turned off on the gameplay. I am absolutely fascinated, to say the least.

What are the correct game settings?

I just played a game that allowed me to choose tech trees to research and it was too easy. What else did i probably f up?

How is this game? I see it's on sale and was thinking of getting it.

Al right /v/, time to settle this once and for all.

I wan't you to tell me the best /vr/ game ever made in your personal opinion.

Hey, /vr/, how do I into Alpha Centauri?

I've played Civ 4, Age of Wonders, and master of orion, but I seriously want to learn SMAC too.

Firaxis tutorials are useful as always, which is not very.

ITT: We say something bad about our favorite /vr/ game.

>Pic related.
Supply crawlers break the game hard.

Don't mind me.

How do I get better at this game, /vr/?
Playing on anything above Specialist I always fail to get a grip on things early-game. If I survive that I'm usually alright, but 90% some asshole gets military might/tech faster and starts demanding shit ruthlessly, and I feel that I'll never catch up.

Supply crawlers
(well it's only one of the way to ruin the game)

Best 4X of all time coming through.

Stand aside, mortals.
