Forum Overview :: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
 
The only good thing I can say about it right now: by WITTGENSTEIN 10/24/2014, 7:15am PDT
Is that it's like starting Civ 5 in the modern era, which was Alpha Centauri's perk too. But some of the mechanics seem so blatantly imported from Civ 5 (resources - we'll just call it FIRAXITE instead of uranium) or city states I MEAN BASES -- that it's just embarrassing.

Also maybe it's because I started on normal timespan but it does definitely feel like research takes a lot longer than in Civ 5.
