So this is basically Civ 5 science/space victory the game? Fucking awesome!
Honestly, it just seems like a reskin. Unless they make aliens different from barbarians, I don't really see a huge difference. I do like the land danger mechanic, however. It promotes you to actually think about your moves instead of setting your units on auto-explore/work and never worrying about them again.
it'll be interesting to see how they handle Planet I guess. That was one of my favorite aspects of AC. I hope they don't just astroturf over [I]all [/I]of the questions about individuality and the place of mankind.

The 'struggle for survival' isn't going to be about choosing the lesser evil, it's going to be about pushing humanity forward. Which is okay and everything, but I'm going to miss the atmosphere from Alpha Centauri.

Remember they've started to do away with some of the systems you have to actually think about to keep balanced, like pollution or health. I wouldn't doubt that even Supremacy civs will at most make mines and quarries.
