Probably what he meant, yes, but that’s not a sequel. I would even hesitate to call it a spiritual successor. It’s basically just Civ in spaaaaace.

What was the expansion pack where you could play as aliens called?

Ioughttamow ,

Crossfire? iirc

Edit: alien crossfire

Me waiting on a sequel to Sid Meier’s Pirates.

I sent an email thanking them for making Sid Meier’s Pirates! and they sent an email back thanking me for my interest and that no new game was planned. Which…wasn’t my email, but still very sad!

No information about Alpha Centauri 2? I posit an AC quote then:

There was a ridiculous, completely unbalanced version they published just after Alpha Centauri where the most powerful unit was a van-looking ecoterrorism thing that transformed everything around it into forest.

They could make a sequel to that one instead.

Murdoc ,

You mean Civilization: Call to Power. The unit was called the Eco Ranger. And they did make a sequel to it, called Call to Power 2. In some ways it was better, some worse. That being said, CTP1 is my favorite civ of all time (not counting SMAC). They should definitely make another sequel if they can keep the stuff that made it great. Kills me that I can’t get a modern working version of the original somewhere.

I have 3 friends that I play Civ V with weekly, in person LAN parties maybe once or twice a year. Civ 6 never caught on and I’m the youngest in the group (at 39) so I just went with it. But going by the principle that odd number Civs are good we are excited for 2025.

DrSleepless ,

And if you look closely, you’ll see me, under your foot, waiting for a sequel to Pirates

Sword of the Samurai and Covert Action fans have long since given up.

There’s only so many more times I can elect myself Supreme Planetary Leader as Brother Lal.

twinnie ,

I hope the new game loses the Clash of Clans style cartoony graphics.

Ioughttamow ,

Do the drones still look up to you at this point?

Nefara OP ,

They need me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

blindbunny ,

Tbf alpha centari still works perfectly fine

Veraxus ,

I want that game - exactly as it is - but with new, modern graphics. AC+AX is about as perfect as a game can possibly get. Just needs a fresh coat of paint.

blindbunny ,

You know what I just remembered it doesn’t support my wide screen so yeah why the hell not.

Murdoc ,

A little bit better controls and stuff too, but yeah, the story, characters, unit customization, etc. was all top-notch.

RizzRustbolt ,

Also… more Mindworms.

HornyOnMain ,

"Already" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, by the time the game comes out it will have been 9 years since Civ 6. That's 3 years longer than the gap between 5 and 6 which is the second longest gap in the series. At this point they're vastly limited in the things they can do without a complete overhaul on base mechanics we've been playing with for nearly a decade.

Would you rather they completely overhaul the current game and the original mechanics be lost to time? Of course not, the obvious next step is to make a new game.

Nefara OP ,

I’ll give you that it’s been longer than I realized since the base game came out, however, Beyond Earth came out 10 years ago (2014) and Alpha Centauri was 25 years ago.

Damage ,

9 years

wtf

lud ,

What fixes do VI need?

Flexaris ,

Off the top of my head I have seen units being teleported because tiles are incorrectly linked.

Nemoder ,

Often animations get stuck (until a timeout is hit after ~30 seconds).
Sometimes units can appear on a city that already has a unit and is blocked from moving away which prevents ending the turn.
Sometimes linked units don’t move together properly until the next turn.
Capturing a builder or settler with a linked unit just deletes it.
Currently if you buy Gathering Storm DLC you cannot play it with anyone who doesn’t also own Rise and Fall.

And those are just the issues I noticed personally this week.
