	Looking for Strategy Game Recommendations... Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Hi Everyone,

I'm starting to tire of Civ3 (once you learn how to exploit the AI, the joy is gone), and I was wondering if anyone could recommend other strategy games to hold me over until MOO3 comes out? I'm not particularly fond of straight-up wargames (e.g. WWII sims and the like), but I would like to find a strategy game with a little more complexity than Civ. Are EU2 and Patrician II worth checking out? How is the AI in these games? Any others?

Thanks,
Ollie

Personally I would highly recommend EU II but it isn't to everyones taste.

I recommend "building" games such as SimCity3000, Patrician 2 or even Caesar 3 (still good).

EU2 is a must for any strategy gamer.

i could recommen space empires 4, but the ai will start to bore like with most strategy games.

Right now i'm playing Tropico, which isn't exactly a strategy game, more like a sim, like SimCity, but then on an tropical island, it's fun, but it get's repetitive after a few games.

I recommend Rails Across America. It's really great (espically in MP!)

EU2, without a doubt. Just be prepared to be confused your first few games. If nothing else, it's a "Must Try" game for any strategy gamer.

Never left my HDD.

EU is definitely an acquired taste; personally, it left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Here are my recommendations:

Imperialism II
Pharaoh/Cleopatra
Zeus/Poseidon
Rails Across America (just got it, haven't played it yet)

These are on my regular playlist.

MoO 2 if you're into the TBS mood, or Starcraft, if you're into the RTS mood. SP or MP, they are quite a fun addiction!

Has anybody tried Imperialism I ?
Should I?

It is cheap and would run on my old machine, but I don't want to waste time on ordinary games.
Have most enjoyed spending time on Civ I, SMAX, MOM and HMOM 3 so far.
