So it turns out that Planet could not get along after all. The capitalists surrendered. Twice. Only the U.N. willingly followed the dictatorship, and only after being broken out of space prison.

These are *all* losses to mind worms. I haven't found anyone. It's 118 turns in.

I don't think Planet likes me colonising it

Waves of Colony Pods! Spread to the corners of the map! Never mind the Mind Worms!

(I've lost *at least* six Colony Pods already)

It's not my record for anything, but it felt like my most solid playthrough in years.

Well this scored well. Transcendence takes so long though!

Well, I finally did it. After decades of playing, I finally won an Economic Victory on Transcend difficulty (without cheesing it by 95% conquering the world first. I've been trying to do this on and off for years.

Definitely how it feels in the moment

It's time again for another play of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. The game may be unbalanced, the graphics may be dated, but the sound is still amazing and the characterisation is top notch. And the spirit of it is... something you have to experience. I like to experience it again from time to time.
