I am worried that SecuROM is going to take over my computer...

If you have Spore on your PC it already has.

Spore creatures don't speak Simmlish, they speak Sporetalian (C 2008 by me :P).

Seriously though, it is a completely different universe. Just because Maxis made Sims and Spore doesn't mean they are all in the same universe. I mean Insomniac made Spyro and Ratchet but they don't live in the same universe/planet.

No refills. They are gone once you use them. Can't even re enter the center after the cinematic.

Nothing happens when you use them all except you have 42 new T3 planets.

The Grox can have anywhere from 600 to 1000 planets around the core. They can't expand since they always destroy colonies and don't place any new ones.

I agree. Maxis has made great games for 20 years. In my opinion joining EA was a huge mistake and cost Maxis a lot of it's fan base. I just wish this lawsuit came around when The Sims 2 started to have SecuROM on it last year.

All I have to say is Finally! Finally someone has the balls to take on EA and their elitist "We can do anything" attitude.

Bravo on this find. I can't wait to see what happens.

I was kinda angry that I cheated once in creature phase on my first game and I never got an achievement. I thought it was bugged. Since then I have a new game where I have not cheated once. It is hard for me to do since I am a chronic cheater. Can never play sims without cheating now :)

It's basically your introduction to space and how to scan. Also, you'll learn about your new best friend, the grox! /endsarcasm :)

It is randomly picked. I have noticed though that my space phase color has changed before from orange to green. then again, I have a few space phase games and might be confused.

I like to get either warrior or shaman in space phase. There is also a 10th path that can only be gotten by starting a new game in space phase.

You need to use a monolith near a group of creatures for them to 'evolve' to tribal stage. It doesn't happen instantly though, so leave and come back a little later.

Sometimes it requires more than just increasing or decreasing atmosphere. Temperature also needs to be changed in most cases.

The circle with the teeth is a reference for where to go for a mission. Usually missions say that x star system is approx. # parsecs away from y star system. The circle is around y and the star that you need to go to can be found anywhere in or slightly out of that circle.
