Yeah, but you always end up with the same small set of units anyways. The design process in SMAC isn't really very broad.
That's true in comparison with SEIV or the MoO's, but in comparison with the other Civ's SMAC is light years ahead.

I'm not sure I'd put SMAC in the 4x genre (just one planet), but it is still the best Civ game to date (in my view, anyway). SEIV gets my vote for best 4x game, but I haven't played GalCiv, and have only a couple of hours of MoO3 under my belt (I'm still trying to figure out how to do things. The UI doesn't make it very easy... ) I had high hopes for Stars! Supernova Genesis, but that project seems on permanent hold.
