I loved that game as a kid. A 4X with a story and characters. I always became annoyed by the AI just doing so much better than me. It would also poorly place cities yet somehow grow them. I never understood but now I know most AI cheats in games so I assume the same is true for SMAC.
Yeah, it's been years, but I seem to recall the AI cheating was especially blatant in Alpha Centauri. Still a great game, but the AI was playing with a completely different set of rules, basically.
