There's actually a native Linux version of Alpha Centauri. One of the old Loki ports.

Alpha Centauri has a Linux native port though! I'm not sure if it's still available somewhere however (there's probably a torrent somewhere).

Me too. I plan to try another TBS game in the future but Alpha Centauri was only one. And excellent. I loved all the options of gameplay and strategy that didn't exist in an RTS. Plus, the technology tree was well thought out and even gave me ideas. :)
