GR, you are making a flawed arguement. You see, you haven't spent much time with any Civ game and have only played the first and noticably worst game in the series. It'd be like kind of like judging SimCity based on a short play of the first game. Badly flawed.
And of course the other thing that shows you wrong is how I have spent a lot of time playing the first three games in the SimCity series, and many other related Sim games, while you have none of that with Civ-style games... so no, my comments and yours are nothing alike in assumption. Sure SimCity 4 is the best in that series but I very much doubt that it's changed so much from 2 and 3 that the series plays totally differently...
But you wouldn't really understand my point until you spend a good long time with Civ II, Alpha Centauri, or Civ III.
