I had a long talk recently with some nice folks at the DOS Game Club podcast. Our subject was the Infocom game Planetfall. My thanks to the hosts for their kind invitation, and to the other guests for their patience with my rambling! (I'm told that this is the longest episode of the podcast ever.)

I haven't played Beyond Earth (or any of the Civilizations after II). But I have noticed that not many people seem to have much good to say about it.
