Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Picked it up recently and really enjoying it even if it takes a lot to get into and the unit designer is a chore.
Anyone have any advice on economic victory? The other ones seem to be 10x easier, at least with their designated factions, but the fact that mind control costs double with bad relations, and everyone but the UN hates the optimal social policies for money, hurts.

How do I prevent my superiority from causing controversy?
To be more serious, is it because I chose to embrace Wealth? Some of these wars are because I refused to pay tribute to the AI. I don't know if I can build a navy to go and threaten the AI into ending their wars with me, for however long that would last.
I started next to Santiago and just walked up to her with a lot of laser infantry which is the only reason why she isn't at war with me.

I'm feeling the effects of our influence on the Europe server's pvp scene. I've got endgame teams on all the non-China servers, and EU by far has the hardest joint drills on average these days. An absolute inversion of how it used to be, and a lot of those teams aren't even ours. Just people who've fought our builds and minmaxed in response.
>>
Also, I forgot to mention but I think White Knight is starting to become a lot more popular. The class split these days is nowhere near the Barbarian supermajority it used to be, it's more like 50/50, or possibly even in White Knight's favour.

I didn't know enough people regularly play against player teams PvE for there to be that much of an effect. It makes sense I suppose, since there's not really anywhere to share builds for most players outside of trooncord servers, CPU player teams is just the best way to see other people's end-game builds in action and learn from them.

I personally switched completely to WK a while ago since barbarian is just boring to use, I could see some other long-time players doing the same thing just to keep things interesting.

What was the point of creating this game?
Why didn't they do a Rome Remaster Plus?
What is the point that a Rome Remastered if R2 still unfinished and bugged, and R1 still playable (with good graphic and overhaul mods) IN 2026?

Was pondering a few of the common Total War issues and want to pitch an idea
>Problem: auto-replenishment sucks
In addition to going against the concept of a strategy game by negating the need to concern yourself with your logistics, the end result is often perpetual doomstacks
>Problem: Manual replenishment can be a tedious affair
While better than magically regenerating Spartans or Elephants, having to send individual units back to cities where they can replenish can require substantially more effort than the end result provides, compared to simply recruiting fresh stacks to send forward.
>Problem: early game units (such as Hastati) are often entirely obsoleted by their T2 counterparts (Principes)
From a historical perspective this is frustrating and results in more homogeneous armies as outside of edge cases there is rarely a good reason to recruit T1 units over T2.

>Proposal: Give T1 units self-replenishment capabilities, while higher tier units must still be replenished manually
Along with being plausible, this would encourage more historical tactics in throwing T1 units into historically accurate frontal roles. You'd likely see more unit diversity since having a core of basic units backed up by elites would give more flexibility, compared to the brittle nature of an all-elite army.

Is it the Ochard and Rice Paddy Rickshaw portrait? It's weird that the Ricksaws/Travois/Wagons all have proper updated portraits but these two in particular are just lazy AI upscales and still remain so.

Fucking National Ideas man. Fuck. a few are no brainers but most are just plain useless or come so late game as to be useless.
I mean fuck take that Ecumenism NI. Sounds good doesn't it? To go on the rampage conquering GOD CURSED HERETICS and get a big revolt risk reduction on the provinces. NOOOOO! Because the cunty AI will start making your own core provinces flip to some fucking other elgion. Places that were always staunchly Catholic for the will become Orthodox, or Protestant or Reformed FOR NO FUCKING REASON. And this shit will happen for the rest of the game. faster than you can generate missionaries to convert the provinces back to the ONE TRUE FAITH..
It does more harm than good becasue this shit happens randomly way behind your lines and scattered all over the fucking place. The moment some shit happens like a stab hit or high war exhaustion you will get massive religious uprisings in the worse possible places at the worse possible time.
You know what I call this shit? I call it SHEER CUNT FUCKERY. That's what it is.
