Title: Game SLANG
Post by: bearcat on May 11, 2017, 11:52:55 am

This is in reference to the AC Wiki article: Builder's Primer: Early Game, Originally from the The SMAC Academy, by Ogie Oglethorpe. There does not appear to be any way to directly contact that author, so I'm asking here. The author uses a lot of terms that are not in the game, and are unfamiliar to someone new to the game, such as "Specials" and "Nut squares".  Could someone please list a glossary of these terms? Thank you.  Without this info, the article is useless.

'Specials' likely refers to special abilities.
And 'Nut squares' are tiles with an improvement that give alot of nutrients, like condensors and/or fertilizers combined with a farm.
