Comparing it to Civ 4..

Yeah, Civ 4 is highly polished but very derivative. It's great, but very familiar. Sometimes familiar is what you want, but Dominions is like a brand new adventure every time.

I find that civ 4 is very diffrent from earlier civs.

Civ 1 was a great game, 2 and 3 was allmost the same. Civ 4 was the first civ that changed the gameplay.

I also agre on that Alpha Centauri is also a great game. At the moment I will not compare it to civ 4, but it was better then 2 and 3.

Dom3 is really a great game but I would say that most people will enjoy civ 4 more.

Has anybody tried the "Freeciv" ?

Freeciv is like Civ2 but with worse sprites and better multiplayer support. I like it alot.

Alpha Centauri is way better than Civ III and IV. I still play it time to time. But for MP, no turn based strategy comes close with Dominions III, let alone equals. All in my opinion, of course.

Not sure about the Alpha Centuri sequel yet I do know Sid and crew have hired a developer who focuses purely on improving/creating the Artificial Intelligence. An important step for a great need within all PC games.

I hope it's true... but I've heard EA has rights to Alpha Centauri, so we are rather doomed.

They're working on Civilization Revolution at the moment, the console version of Civ. He's thrown around doing a Civ V in the future in interviews, but I haven't seen AC mentioned so I wouldn't count on seeing another AC anytime soon, but we could always be surprised.
