Rise of Nations (plus expansion Thrones and Patriots).
An overlooked gem by Brian Reynolds (Civ 2, Alpha Centauri).
"Rise of Nations carries the sweeping scope of epic historical turn-based strategy games, but gives the player the quick decision-making of real-time games such as Age of Empires.
The game brings to life the entire sweep of human culture, from the late Stone Age to modern-day technology—not just in warfare, but in city building, trade, and diplomacy"
