I'm playing the Alpha 3, and wow, ARA looks a LOT better than the last technical tests. I have to say that I'm enjoying it.
I was disappointed last time and stopped playing after an hour, but this time around, I'm sticking to it. I will give it a few more hours of testing, but this is looking good.
This is not a Civ replacement but will hold its spot in the 4X genre.

Without giving away too much, what about this latest alpha is leaving a bigger impression on you?

First the graphics, I mean they really stepped it up. Last time it really felt like not right; esp. when zoomed out a bit or if you zoomed out.
Now when I zoom into the cities and areas, it really look good and you can see so much details, this is way more realistic than Civ 6 for instance.
And when you zoom out the map is actually pretty darn good looking I have to say.

Gameplay wise, I feel like there are more hints, giudances and helps on the screen. I'm playing a lot of 4X, and I understood it last time but it was not so obvious; it seems that the game is way more accessible in that alpha and I am not wasting any time trying to figure out what is what.
