I am convince that FFh team will find new ideas. They are the kind of guys who can not stay still...
And no one knows what Colonization will offer, beside what was already available in 1994. 13 years later (already!?? I feel soooo old...), it is certain that many new things will be added, and also added from Beyond The sword...
So ... wait and see, and for myself, I keep my hopes high with the FFH guys.
Anyway, we will have an idea only when we will play Colonization II...
