I just call them as I see them, it's not hard to reskin it and write a different story line. Saying that AC was not Civ-redone can't be taken seriously. The two are the same game with a different theme.
It's too bad you didn't catch the Space Unlimited Compilation when it was on sale recently for $10 at +++++++.com.
It would have given you the complete collection of Galactic Civilizations 2 (supposedly an excellent TBS), two other games, and the excellent Sins of a Solar Empire, which is kind of like a cross between turn-based and RTS (and much slower and less micromanagement intensive than either an RTS or TBS).
