Meanwhile, I was playing around with Alien Crossfire's faction designer, and realized I was basically making the Human Hive by a different name.  I'm not sure what that says about me.
There's a bit of Yang in everyone.

Dammit, this thread is making me want to play SMAC again.

Oh and yeah, spiritual SMAC successor is fine and all that, looking forward to it.

Well, I for one am honestly here for any sort of relevant information... ._.

But dammit, those pictures are funny. Can we now please stop having fun/being angry at each other and talk about, dunno, politics and stuff?  :P

Come on now BlindKitty, no need for such tone. You do make some good points and yes, there is much to be said about the state of democracy right now in Russia, but emotions are running high as it is in this topic, no need to add fuel to the fire by trowing rude words around. Really.  :(

What about Disgaea series?

Truth be told, I haven't played any of them myself. And a quick search on wikipedia doesn't tell me if class system is anything like FF Tactics.
However, I do remember reading review on the first game years ago and there was a screenshot showing a large selection of different classes. It looked like you could either upgrade existing ones or switch them entirely?
More search is needed.

Using combat helicopters on cities? NOT a good idea.

Also, have a video for ya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdH8OEpDY0k

If that is your army...
IMHO combat helicopters are ideal for urban warfare...

But seriously - anyone cares to translate or at least give a rough idea of what are the people in this video talking about? What rationale did the civilians use to make soldiers disarm? And there was the police - why did they put rifles in the police car?

So, what happened with the anti-terror operation(s) yesterday? Last report said 1 officer dead, 5 wounded. Did they actually clear any buildings?

What about Battle Bugs?

Granted, you do not play ONLY with ants. It's essentially a capture the flag type of a wargame with units that follow extensive rock-paper-scissors system. No diplomacy, resource management, just pure tactics. Ants are there as a most common soldiers, there are other bugs that fill different roles.

I think you can get it or various abandon-ware sites, at least I did years ago. Even though it might not exactly fit your criteria it's still a really neat game worth checking out.  :)

I imagine most of us would cry ourselves to sleep if we were invaded by Finland.
What's supposed to be wrong with Fin-- oh, never mind. :P
/offtopic

Seriously now, any new development on that video posted few pages ago?
What's going on?
Is this what happened?
'Another police building seized in east'

Well, I would kinda argue if America really is "one of the best countries to live in"...I personally, would hate being invaded by USA.

I'd be fine with being invaded by any of the Nordic countries though...then again, being invaded by, say, Denmark, would mean it's government changed so drastically that I probably wouldn't like being ruled by it.

Truth be told, video is not really clear enough, at least for me, personally, to see either any sort of insignia or lack of them for that matter.

Also, there's a memory in my mind from somewhere that says it is practice in some counter-terrorist units to NOT wear insignia when conducting operations...but I'm not sure how valid this memory is.

Still, you do make a good point.

edit:
And those gun pictures are interesting. Gun enthusiast in me would immediately say some sort of modified AR-15 is on the 1st picture, but modified SVDS could be on the second. Magazine size bothers me on both, to short for either 5.56 or 7.62x54 caliber. But hey, I'm just gun enthusiast not gun expert. Still, why would AR-15 be used in Eastern Europe?

I'll make a very wild guess here, or more like a question directed to people who might know this, Ukrainian Ranger in particular:

Is there any possibility that in the video posted, those are actually Ukrainian (counter-terrorist) units, conducting an operation against pro-Russian protester that occupied one of those buildings in the past few days?

This question is not meant as a provocation of any kind, I'd just honestly like an opinion on this.
