Currently playing Civilization III again, as the great civilization of Rome, on default settings all around. This time, I'll definitely try to finish a damn game.
Made by one of the game industry's greats, Sid Meier, Civilization has been one of those great strategy games that don't require speedy mouseclicks and keyboard shortcuts to win, so it's been one of my favorites. Basically you assume control of the civilization of your choice and guide it through the ages, from its founding to its flourishing. Everything in between is included: technology and research, culture, trade, diplomacy and war. Contrary to what some might say as Civ being an easier StarCraft or C&C because it doesn't have the time pressure, the AI in this game can get insanely hard at times, and you can always decide to ramp up the challenge even more by making the world have little resources, so it has great replay value. Plus, coexisting with other civilizations up until the space race is for pussies! World conquest FTW!
After CivIII I'll play CivIV. Oh yeah.
