Firstly I have UE so still using 1.97, if this has been added to version 2 then great, if not WHY NOT!
In both games a real time clock can be displayed on screen but Civ IV also has a ALARM.
Ummm I believe Walmarts sells alarm clocks why don't you go buy one of them. Be cheaper than coding one into the game. 
That's not the only feature missing.
Civ4 is designed with the intention to minimise unnecessary micromanaging (e.g. no more whack the mole pollution cleaning). It has screens which at a glance, you can tell which wonders have been built in which city and which techs can be traded with other civs. GalCiv2 lacks these conveniences. I can't even tell whether I get any trade goods bonuses or not unless I manually add up all the various percentages (from civ bonus, tech bonus, etc) or unless I own the planet.
Why do you need an alarm clock for Galciv, just set your own alarm clock, and if you need to have an alarm clock within a game, than have better discipline when playing games by learning to keep track of time yourself. I mean Galciv2 is a turn based game, not like C&C or starcraft 2, so between each turns, take a look at your watch or clock to keep track of the time. Don't worry, the Dregin will wait for you to hit the turn button before they do any invading.
