Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack
Description
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack includes the original Alpha Centauri and the expansion, Alien Crossfire.
Mankind begins its most monumental task: the colonization of space. A crew of internationally renowned scientists and security strategists, with wide-ranging convictions and diverse ethics, embarks on a mission that will change the world. One Planet. Seven unique factions. Which will you lead? Each faction has its own agenda, each leader a final goal. You must play to each strength and exploit each hidden weakness in your quest to rule the future.
Key features:
- Great spin-off of the legendary Civilization series, in a refreshing sci-fi setting
- Design your own units. Balance their speed, power, and toughness to suit your current tactical needs
- Seven factions to chose from, each with its own artificial intelligence model that creates a very suggestive feeling that you’re up against real people

Best game ever.
Literally. This needs Alien Crossfire though -greatly improves the game (thus making it better than the best game ever).

What a jewel.
Truly one of my favourite Civ "clones" ever. Call to Power rates equal, however I can never choose between I or II. But I digress. If you love 4x turn Based games, go for it, SMAC is definitely a classic. FYI, I don't know why so many are asking for Alien Crossfire, it is included in the game I got.

The pinnacle of the Civ series
Incredible narrative, a unique setting and with powerful personalities leading each nation/state, this may be the greatest of all the civilization games. The meta-narrative behind each personality are on display with the wonderfully voice-acted quotes mentioning speeches, books and interviews each of the leaders have/give. The technology trees are varied, unit variety massive and the game gives a real sense of progression. The only drawbacks in this game is the buggy unit build management, and the opaque city growth.

Brilliant
Every once in a while i'll read a thread on Civfanatics that mentions SMAC's brillance. So I decided to give it a shot during the current GOG sale. All i can say is brillant. Civ 3 with a decent sci fi setting/story, customisable units, interesting tech tree, movies and motives that get you thinking. It feel more fun then civ v:g&k atm or even civ iv:bts. SMAX is included in the latest download.
