As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he deems himself your master.

The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.
Let's ignore the fact that the commiefornians made lal a jeet and pretend he has wisdom.

NTA, but the issue is not that he's a communist, the issue is that he's brown and the game's creators are trying to act like brown people have things to contribute other than hard labor and qualitative bitching.

He's Indian and most people are not white supremacist and don't believe in white supremacy.

Yeah, brown. Exactly what I said.

>And most people are not white supremacist
Why do you think we've been backsliding in our standards of living for the last 50 years? We let the third world contribute to the collective consciousness and it will be the death of civilization that so many subhumans drown out the voices that actually matter by pretending they're people.

Unironically one of the most thoughtful games ever made.
For any fans of SMAC who haven't seen it this guy did an analysis of everything in the game. Good if you wanna think more deeply about the game and its themes

Based take. The factions in SMAC arenโ€™t just gameplay flavors, theyโ€™re entire philosophical ideologies given form. Playing through them is like roleplaying different futures of humanity. Youโ€™re not just fighting for territory, youโ€™re fighting to decide what path civilization walks after Earth is dust.

There's a GURPs book for SMAC if you wanna go the /tg/ route. But I agree some kind of adventure game or roguelike set on Alpha Centauri could be really interesting.

At least I think the trope of Indians being this idealised fake version of what ghandi was is now a dead trope. And we finally worked out that all the gurus were smelly scammers

Unfortunately, they don't need to be idealized anymore, they're living and working in our otherwise clean and civilized nations and the only way they're leaving is in a box or a can of Onions Brown. Idealizing them was largely just to make them seem human-ish long enough for them to be imported without a riot. Now that its done, why lie about it?

I think you need to go to political board or your local kkk meeting for other members of the KKK instead of talking on the video game board like you have things to input about video games.

I remember being so excited about this when it came out. Finally, another iteration of Alien Crossfire.

It was so outrageously shit that I haven't bought a new Sid Meier's game since.

I still can't believe how dogshit this was. How can you make a "spiritual successor" that abandons the entire "spirit" of the game you're "succeeding". Life could be a nightmare

I just started playing Endless Space 2 this week, and it really scratches that itch left by this game. Obviously it's not nearly on the same level of writing and design, but I've really missed good futuristic 4X games.

I remember it being all the female faction leaders naked doing bathing. The image was actually focused on that and he was being as the Japanese called it dirty old man.
