We called Mohawk’s strategy game Old World “almost the perfect blend of Civilization and Crusader Kings III” back in 2021. As such, the opinions of people who worked on Old World are of interest to me. Here’s one: designer and programmer Daniels Umanovskis would very much like to make a sequel to the undersung Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, because it is “the best game ever”.
It’s exciting to hear about the potential for a sequel to Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri! The blend of strategy and innovative mechanics in Old World sounds intriguing. It’s always refreshing to see classic concepts being revitalized for a new generation of gamers.
Absolutely! The strategic depth of Alpha Centauri really set it apart from other games of its time. It will be interesting to see how the new mechanics could enhance the storytelling and world-building aspects, which were such strong points in the original.
