I like those ideas, and would hope that after civ2 is achieved that the SMAC
stuff would be added as a rule set.

one thing that has always been missing and still is even in SMAC, is the ability
to create bridges over 1-2 water squares. I hate having to load a transport
or leave it docked to cover a single water square so I can rush 30 guys across 
to
the next island to do some serious damage,
we don't need a ferry to get to Long Island, and with the EURO tunnel from 
england
to france.. you could WALK to france..
