Forum Overview :: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
 
AC introduced a ton of new mechanics by fabio 10/24/2014, 6:54am PDT
Civics, custom units, unit hitpoints, and different factions being the big ones. It was as different from Civ 2 as Civ 4 was.

I have zero hope for this. Civ 5 was broken at such a fundamental level that only scrapping the entire thing and starting over can fix it. Each Civ installment was a refinement of what had come before, reaching its peak with Civ 4. These 18 years of refinement were all thrown out for Civ 5, all so they could turn it into a shallow half assed Panzer General / Advanced Wars.
