well, when he mentioned Age of Wonders I thought something more like HoMM than Civ and other "grand strategy" and 4X, but of course, Civ4 with BTS and the all the mods available is a no-brainer. especially Fall from Heaven 2, which to my tastes has "lost its way" but it's still the best mod available (and IMO for ANY game out there). it's very tough to list the features but it's a fantasy mod, lots of different civilizations, spell system, an agressive wild world. and there are people working on "mod mods", adding new civs to FfH and other neat stuff. and of course there are the usual Civ4 mods that just add tons of units, techs, etc but still maintain the "real world" setting. you can find everything in http://www.civfanatics.com
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
