Oh my God. I didn't know this existed until you bumped this thread - I had heard of this strategy guide, but what an amazing piece of work this truly is. Is Vel still active here? I haven't seen him in the last couple of months that I've been here - I doubt it. But what an absolutely awesome piece of work - I would have printed it off, but I don't think I've got enough paper!
I urge any newbies to download and read this guide as soon as possible, this one is a must-read.

Read some of the treads on that board. In one of the latest, he said he was retired 
From another tread, I think he had some sort of near death experience and stopped playing AC. I don't know any of the details since it happened while I was away from the game myself. Maybe someone else can fill us in.
Though I don't think we ever chatted directly (back in the 2.0 days when he was real active here) I know he added so much to my AC knowledge. I for one will miss his insite.

Markos, what you want to do is to send over an e-mail to Vel and offer him a, erm, large incentive to become moderator of these forums. All your problems will disappear....

Hey What is SMAX? I just bought SMAC today $20 Cdn in the bargain bin. Haven't even installed it yet but I decided to come here first and get a feal for the game b4 I play. So is this SMAX Guide Version 3.0 relevent to SMAC? If not what guide should I read?

alien crossfire I suppose. It is an add on for the smac.
Also sold as planetary pack, and then it is both CD's.

Hey Vel,
like Qualicide, I just got back to SMAXing after a long "vacation". i remember you starting you Guide some time ago, but I never saw a copy. I just read thru version3 last night non-stop. MAN, that's the best game strategy guide I've ever read. lemme know when the book is available.
BTW, I have a couple of weird units to bounce off you for element-of-surprise.

Hey guys! And you're welcome! I just got back from a vacation of a different sort, and am ready to get cooking on the NEXT strat guide! Ideas for any game in particular?

Vel,
Let's see....next strat guide...next strat guide...  I humbly submit that you turn your attention to MOO3. CivIII is going to be good, but, if QuickSilver holds to their stated course, MOO3 just may end up being a genre redefining game.
You can find a good bit of info on the MOO3 forums here, but the official site contains more information than you could digest in a month of Sundays.

Prima should be ashamed of themselves, as well as the rest of the strat guide writers, in the face of Velocyrix and his SMAX guide.

Anyone got a downloadable copy of this guide? I tried getting into the renaissance forums but all I got was timeouts.

I don't believe so, simply because Vel went off and published v4.0 of the guide professionally.
