I tried for about 15 minutes, confusing and not fun.

Too bad. Civ is one of the funnest games in the universe. There is nothing like starting an intercontinental war, and duking it out with tactical air, sea, and land battles, ending (or beginning) in the strategic nuclear bombing of every major city of your opponent (or if your caught off guard without SETI, your cities).


I'll say. Civ 2 i'd play every day for like a couple years.

I used to love playing the benevolant nation that when pissed off would retaliate.

It's fairly simple if you take it slow too... now you want a hard and confusing game. Try Super Power 2. It's almost impossible to get land through war without half the world declaring war on you.

If only the UN was that reactive in real life.

It's always fun seeing what happens when Lebanon invades Israel.  Which is the most likely war to happen, and amazingly the game released years before the Lebanon War.

Second most likely is Pakistan V India, followed by other middle eastern countries and Israel.

It's good fun.  The US invades Lebanon, other middle eastern countries invade Israel, American declares war on Iran, China declares war on the US.... the EU declares war on China.... etc.

I liked to play the united arab emirates and just watch and see what happens.
