Wow! Yeah, that's an impressive screwup in shipping. Sounds to me like someone at a UPS sorting depot threw it on the wrong skid, so it ended up on the wrong truck, wrong plane, etc.

I thought Alpha was better than the civ series cause you could make custom designed units in Alpha. I liked putting together my own armored rig and then landing it in the badguys' area to see how it did. I never could get into civ series cause of the tactless AI and repetitive micromanagement. I just loaded up Civ 4 Colonization yesterday and gave it a short spin. The lure of real war brought me back to the Decisive Battles games.

Alpha Centauri was better in every way. The Design Lab was just one of the good aspects.

For anyone who buys Civ 4 Colonization, it's a good game and ignore the online hype about it being too hard. I saw a thread saying how people are playing only on easy and using exploits to have any chance against the king's army while the European rivals are all too weak and lose to the powerful natives. Truth is, playing on weak difficulty settings is what makes the rivals weak (simple logic) so I recommend playing on one of the higher difficulty levels like 'Governor' so the AI settlers have a chance of surviving and expanding.
