Alpha Centauri >> Civilization III. Maybe some of the mods make it playable, tho'...

I've seen SMAC a couple times, but at random places and I can't remember where...

Seconded. Alpha Centauri was the crowning achievement of the entire series.

Whereas Civ 3 was so stupidly complicated in the name of 'realism' that it wasn't any fun...

Ok, I'm gonna find a full copy of Civ 2 and a copy of Alpha Centari. Maybe while I'm at it I can find that elusive copy of Masters of Orion 2.

I'd eat the sirloin because I know how little use it's gotten, but I'm afraid it was already sold.

okay, what the hell?

you say you don't like characters which are all interchangeable, and then theres 9, the diamond in the rough, not interchangeable at all and you all say you hate it.

what's up with that?

they each have their own spell lists, you can choose which skills they learn, (which, by the way, they didn't all learn the same skills. There were a few that everyone could learn, or that all the people of one gender could learn, but they had unique ones as well) and there was even the whole thing with Steiner and Vivi allowing you to put two characters together and make one of them far more powerful. Don't even feed me that line of crap about "letting Vivi infuse Steiner's blade with a spell made them interchangeable" because they weren't; Steiner was more powerful with his melee strikes, and could only use magic while Vivi was active. The raw magical power not yet in a sword was more powerful, and was better for more agile monsters. Even the two summoners had different spell lists. Just as one example, Eiko could summon the steroid moogle and Dagger couldn't. Even Quima, generally regarded as the worst character idea in the game was fun to use, and personally I found him to be my favorite character. My only beef with him is that his limit break is to cook instead of eat rather than doublecasting blue magic. I found that cook wasn't really more powerful to a degree that I could notice. I liked the fact that throughout the game you pretty much have to change the character list around, even when you have all of the characters. I liked the fact that the game became a balancing act with trying to keep certain pairs together, because that added an element of strategy to it.

So all you people who bitch about interchangeable robots and then turn around and bash 9, just remember. You brought this on yourselves. Guess it really isn't all that great when Square listens to you, huh?

... I'm just going with "I liked 9" and ignoring the rest of the rant above me, I think. <.<

I'm ignoring it period, because I can't sift through that much ramble.
