Alpha Centauri is much, much better than Civ3 in my opinion. Much more user friendly, much more customizable, and much more fun. One big difference that annoyed me in AC, the length it takes to end the game once it becomes inevitable that you'll win but still have to go conquer all these island bases at the other side of the map, is even more dreadful in Civ3, and I never finished a game of Civ3 because of that. Sure, the AC graphics are much more simple (yet far better than the revelation that was Civ2), but who buys a turn-based sim for its graphics?
