Alpha Centauri's great, I just wish they didn't push for the 'you have until the year 2500' (although I do think that can be ignored to some extent) or technology snowballing so fast that I typically skip sea units almost completely. A few more techs before Air power for example would help and one or two extra tech levels to gate Hybrid Forest or limit the effectiveness of crawlers would balance things and reduce the sense of things rushing ahead uncontrollably.
I would recommend the AI patch so that the AI will use anti-air much more frequently and generally perform much better. I also like playing on much bigger maps.
