I just hope that EA won't come up with the idea of making Alpha Centauri 2 themselves. Better no AC 2 than an EA one. They don't have a clue about making strategies (living proof: the C&C series - great engine and poor gameplay/content)

EA is right up there with MS as one of my least favorite megacorporations. They'll probably just do the usual where they sit on the franchise until it dies because AC2 wouldn't bring in as much money as another add-on to The Sims and they certainly can't sell it and let somebody else make money off of it.

the option to trade away a technology only if you have researched it yourself

I like that alot.

I like that alot.

So will this mean that every Civ no longer has exactly the same lot of techs? If so, I'll definitely be using this option. I think it'll also make isolated starts more do-able.

Whoever has the science lead has a huge advantage.

Whoever has the science lead has a huge advantage.

Isn't that typically the case anyway?

Can only trade techs that you researched!!! Now i can switch 'on' tech trading- Never liked trading a tech to one civ, and then all the other civs had it in just a few turns... This makes the tech worth more if you discovered it yourself.

Can you tell us present day company which would have the clue?

Firaxis defenatively, probably Sierra, maybe Activision.
