An homage to the greatness of Simcity 4

Eh, I like Civ 2 more... Civ 3 isn't nearly as bad in comparison to it's series as SC3K is in it's, but it definitely isn't as good as Civ 2. Well the graphics are better, but in everything else Civ 2 is better. :)

I disagree. I actually like Civ III better than Civ 2. I like the idea of requiring resources to build units and the extra fight to secure these assets, I LOVE the bombarding concept (which suddenly makes cannons, artillery and catapults NOT worthless), I love the idea of national borders and culture war (something I've wanted to see since the first game). I love how trade and diplomacy no longer require units. I like the idea of civ-specific units, golden ages, and the diplomacy in Civ III is a hundred times better than Civ II. I love airlifting and precision bombing. I love taking on fifteen opponents at once.

Honestly, with the exception of a few missing units, I don't think anything about Civ II is as good as Civ III. And I'm surprised I think so, after being so terribly disappointed by Call to Power and getting bored so quickly with Alpha Centauri.
