I would say MoM2, but they've been on a crappy-product roll for a while now(MOO3, Civ3), so I guess Colonization 2. It sounds the hardest to screw up with gratuitous innovation. Not that I have no confidence in them whatsoever; I just think they need something to break them out of their loopy macromanagement game rut.

	Put an end to popups!

A new TBS game would be very interesting.

Colonization 2 would be great, but I really can't see it happening.

AC2 is more likely and I'd like to see it.

Civ4 is going to have to wait for 5 years or so, I think, which is probably not a bad thing.

No "Pirates 3" option? If the second one is good when they release it you might be desperate for more.

They are working on pirates IIRC.

I didn't think Firaxis worked on MOO3.

True. Quicksilver designed MOO3. Firaxis had nothing to do with it

AC2 of course. Man that game has some great atmosphere, and overall feeling of fun and, well, just a futuristic sci-fi niceness about it.

I would have said Civ4, but I think Civ3 although very fun and I like it, kinda proved that there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to go with the series.

I think that was a broader "they" in reference to the crapy remakes...


Anyways, My vote goes for SMAC. I really liked that game and it's setting, and they could do alot with that. Colonization, on the other hand, is greatly over done now. You might aswell play 1603 AD, Europa Universalis, Conquest of the New World, Imperialism, ect...

Whooooops. Take my foot from out my mouth...well, Civ3 kinda sucked, anyway.

I think it is time for a new game. That can sink or swim on its own merit, not just by using the name of previous games.

Yeah, that would be nice aswell. Hard to vote for that though without knowing what the game might be.

I don't know, perhaps Firaxis should be put out to pasture.

X-COM.

They got the license and they spent so much time on it. Not to mention there is kinda a gap in the genre.

New TBS! Sid shines when he does something new.... he doesn't really seem to care when he does sequals.

I wonder how that will apply to Pirates 2. Technically of course it's a sequel, but it's been so long (and technology has advanced so far) since the last game that is practically a brand new game.

If they are capable of making a good product, I would vote for SMAC2, but since I don't think they're capable, I voted the 'stop making games' option.

a new game - somewhat along the lines of a "simnation" a cross between simcity and civ. Like a city builder, but on larger scale, with emphasis on politics, economics, society, and planning, with foreign policy and war taking more of an "offstage" role. More likely to be pausible RT than TB, but that wasnt an option.

Alternatively - how about another wargame? Could also be RT, like SMG.

AC2 would be good, but only if the production values are nice and high. I can't abide the 'graphics don't matter' posse.
