Das have you ever played Alpha Centari? It really is the continuation of Civ2.

I've only read about it. From everything I've heard about the entire Civ series (up to the Civ IV demo), Civ 2 seems to be everyone's favorite. And I get the same impression that you do: that Alpha Centauri is a lot like Civ 2.

I may have to check out Alpha; though in a very disinterested manner, you see. ;)

AC is a lot darker then Civ2. And there is a story line. It plays a lot like Civ2 as far as the mechanics of the game goes but you also get many elements that were truly revolutionary for their time.

If you get it let me know and we can play on line.
