Hi folks:
First time poster here. I have been playing Civ series since the Mayor used to 'Flee in Panic'.
To the point:
Given that the Designers openly admit to adopting the Civics stuff from Alpha Centauri, why did they stop with that? Why not continue the Tech Tree and Military units past 'Mech Infantry', and into some of the cool sci-fi stuff found in Alpha Centauri?
Before those who would argue that Civ is principally a 'historic' game, I say: If you can build an interstellar space ship in Civ, why not a Hover Tank?
Why not research 'SuperConductors' and Fusion Cores? Why not borrow some of the cool Wonders from AC? (Hunter-Seeker algorithm, Longevity Vaccine).
Any chance that we will see more advance Techs than just 'Future Tech (Elventy-billion)' in later versions?
