For some reason, it's only just occurred to me to start a thread about this...
Has anyone here played any of the Civilization games, or spinoffs like Alpha Centauri? For those who don't know
(wait, who doesn't know about Civ?
), this is a series of turn-based strategy (TBS) games where you build an empire on a randomly generated map, and conquer the world or prove the worth of your civilization some other way (like building a spaceship).
Civilization IV is probably my favourite TBS (Age of Empires II has to be my favourite strategy game overall), and the one I've spent the most time on. I played Civ III and AC briefly as well, but I didn't like them all that much. And from what I've heard, Civilization V is a terrible game, so I won't be picking that up anytime soon
