At least on the story front, Alpha Centauri seems to owe much more to Brian Reynolds than to Sid Meier, according to [1]. Unless you mean he was the "strong single author" there (instead of Sid Meier), I'd argue there were at least 2 strong authors.

Yes, Reynolds for SMAC and Sören Johnsen for Civ4, after Civ3 was his learning step.
