Game SLANG
« 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.

* Random quote

The entire character of a base and its inhabitants can be absorbed in a quick trip to the Rec Commons. The sweaty arenas of Fort Legion, the glittering gambling halls of Morgan Bank, the sunny lovers' trysts in Gaia's High Garden, or the somber reading rooms of U.N. Headquarters. Even the feeding bay at the Hive gives stark insight into the sleeping demons of Yang's communal utopia.
~Commissioner Pravin Lal 'A Social History of Planet'
