      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!

      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.

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

      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.

    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.

      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.

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