Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3

[B Dids]

I'm looking for a "world building" type game.

The problem that I usually have with these is that I want to build a happy little agrarian society, and while I don't object to putting together a nice little army to defend myself, I'm not wild about running around jacking people's land. I'm peaceful folk.

BUT

Everybody and their grandmother loves Civ 3, and while I know it's more geared towards combat and competition, my guess would be that it's a much better game than SimCity 4, of which I've heard little about.

civ 4 comes out soon

To be clear, I've torrented both these games, I just wanted to decide which one to invest time in playing. I'm not likely to buy a new game at this point.

Please don't get SimCity 4. Civ 3 is so much better. The best thing about is that while a military conquest might be one of the better ways to succeed in the game, it's definitely not the only way. You can focus on many other things such as government, culture, happiness, wonders, the space race etc and have a really good time. The game is just fantastic and it's not at all about warfare and slaughter, unless you want it to be.

Civ 4 out end of the month. Civ is not all battles, it is a true strategy game. You can conquer other civs by using less coercive methods than war.

Wrong forum, but you started it:
Do you have idea how much the US's 'soft power' has diminished because of people like you? People in Russia used to spend a months salary for a pair of old levi's. That is the kind of power that Civ takes into account.
