GalCiv2 was head and shoulders above GalCiv 1. Yet it isn't SEIV, or SEV for that matter. As for being a Civ clone, it was intended that way. The developers loved Civ, and wanted a space version of it. AC has a flavor all its own...The AI for GC2 is supposed to be very good. The lego like ship constructor is an interesting addition, but not really needed...yet it does eliminate the pesky need to be able to make models.
