Don't try to tell me Beyond Earth was a sequel, Stellaris is more of a sequel to SMAC than BE was.

There was a ridiculous, completely unbalanced version they published just after Alpha Centauri where the most powerful unit was a van-looking ecoterrorism thing that transformed everything around it into forest.

They could make a sequel to that one instead.

You mean Civilization: Call to Power. The unit was called the Eco Ranger. And they did make a sequel to it, called Call to Power 2. In some ways it was better, some worse. That being said, CTP1 is my favorite civ of all time (not counting SMAC). They should definitely make another sequel if they can keep the stuff that made it great. Kills me that I can't get a modern working version of the original somewhere.
