You just campaign it or did you play multiplayer at all for the earlier ones? [/ QUOTE ] I never played AOE1 but I multiplayed AOE2, CIV3 and RON a lot before I discovered poker. Then I sort of fell out of playing video games.

Re: Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3
I haven't played SimCity 4, and I just bought Civ 3 Complete a few weeks ago with a similar itch. I've played quite a bit of it, and it's fun, but I've yet to actually finish a game, since I've yet to really feel like I was kicking the appropriate amount of ass when entering the Middle Ages. The game bogs down pretty heavily pretty quickly; I found Alpha Centauri to be much better in terms of a relatively quick gaming experience.

The reason I got on this kick was because I messed around with Roller Coaster Tycoon at a friend's place, and I kinda enjoy the whole building/planning aspect. [/ QUOTE ] It really sounds like SimCity is the game for you. Civ may be a better game. But, it's not exactly what you want. If you were looking for the best baseball game, you wouldn't go out and buy a Madden game simply because it's better than any baseball game available.

Both great....how is AOE3?....its hard to see how game play works from the screenshots

[ QUOTE ] civ 4 comes out soon [/ QUOTE ] My life will simultaneously get a whole lot better and a whole lot worse. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed with this assessment on the impact of Civ games. They're not a game, they're a lifestyle.

Re: Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3
[ QUOTE ]
I played AOE2 networked with an ex-roommate and his girlfriend. I made a happy little settlement that was all friendly and had farmers and had a modest army and then those hostile bastards came and crushed us when we didn't do nothing to them. I was very sad. It's an amazing looking game though and AOE3 looks even better. [/ QUOTE ] AOE 2 was great fun. I used to love playing that and watching movies of other people's strats. I love that people can record their games in lots of these newer games. It can be like watching a great movie, with all the scenes cut out that you didn't want to see.
