Is anyone else looking forward to this? I am, as I am a massive Civ series fan, and this would appear to be Alpha Centauri 2 in all but name.

As long as it's better than the last Civ spin-off: Colonization, which was awful.

Apologies if a repost, the trusty search function thinks not. hehe

I'll only get it if they make a Mac version. Still enjoy Civ 5 despite its odd AI.

Pre-ordered on Steam, looking very good. not just a "skin" ontop of civ 5 apparently.

Looks like a remake of Alpha Centuri all right. Not a bad idea.

I'll wait a while, I only bought Civ V with Brave New World and all the other DLC and extras for like £35 on Steam the other week, it would've been like £95 seperately!

What was wrong with Colonization? I loved that on the Amiga!

They re-did it on the Civ 4 engine fairly recently and I hated it.

It was insanely hard, and I just didn't enjoy the game play, way too much micromanagement.

I'll be getting it on release, probably.
