oh yeah I remember now how the in-game quotes pretty much tells you what the canon ending is gaia wipes out sparta morgan tries to go for the energy credit victory the university gets a lot of late-game techs/secret projects like teleporters and stuff which makes Miriam go batshit insane because she basically thinks that star trek transporters kills you and uses psigates to launch some sort of last ditch assault university builds voice of the planet, gaia steals victory from them by building transcendence first (maybe cuz zakharov was too busy fighting off miriam to spare the minerals) Typo has issued a correction as of 07:25 on Nov 2, 2017 |

if you take the text as presented, he's the only normal human being, and that's part of the appeal of the SMAC, because it takes everything to extremes. Lal is the straight man.

Lal is the straight man. lal is unethical as gently caress lol he basically pulls rank to get his wife on the spaceship to centauri even though she's unqualified to be on the mission then she dies on the spaceship in events preceding the game so he feels guilty about it so instead of moving on his literally clones her in the events of the game so he can "love her again" ofc cloning doesn't work like fully adult version of a person comes out of the vats, so it's more like he clones his wife and gets her as a child and is gonna groom her to be his lover even though he's literally like 100 years older

every smac leader is pretty creepy and authoritarian if you think about it because like even the most “democratic” oriented ones end up getting longevity treatment to live and rule their factions with their loyal minions for hundreds of years

i cant for the life of me believe that morgan would be a viable faction how the hell do you transplant an exploitative non producing casino ideology into a place that has no goods or consumers? its like having libertarians start one of their fail settlements how will it not just immediately fall apart?

Typo posted:i never thought about it like that and that's actually pretty creepy lol i guess it's only explicitly stated in those books based on the game, but it 100% fits the psi gate quote and it's the last quote in the game she appears in, going by the tech tree order, so it's canon to me quote:"Go through, my children! The time of miracles is upon us. Let us cast off sin and walk together to the Garden of the Lord. With God’s mercy we shall meet again on the other side."
