To give you an idea, there are things about Civ1 that I still enjoy going back to. It could be said that they're little things, like the different throne room deal, and the map of your world's history when the game's over. I figure Civ3 won't have all the scenarios from Civ2 Multiplayer Gold, so maybe you should get that. I'm no expert though, so this is just a humble opinion.

I've played civ2, smac, ctp1+2, and civ2MPG is probably the best out of all of them. the graphics are better in ctp, but civ2 is much more addictive. go for civ2MPG, then civ3 when it comes out.

Tha's fine ! Yes, Civ 2 is the best TBS ever. SMAC follows it in a very hounored second place. CTP was plenty of good intentions but... And CTP 2 is a game that I'm not going to buy in according to the comments from people that did so. Then if you are patient enough to wait for Civ III you can have a lot of fun playing Civ2 MGE wich offers several possibilities with different scenarios and very accurate gameplay.

Freeciv is a free(of course  ) civgame, mainly for alternate OS as Linux, BeOS etc. It is also in a Windows version, but that one is not well supported, since the Freeciv team(as far as I know) don't like it because of it's high price.
Freeciv can be found on www.freeciv.com

That's www.freeciv.org, you heathen! The project is open source, after all. 
And yes, a Windows version exists and should be pretty functional by now, even when run nativly. An X-based Win version also exists. However, all the really cool people play it in it's natural environment - a UNIX-like OS. 
The graphics and diplomacy don't kick ass, but the AI eats people alive. You can also have up to 30 players on a single map, either AI or MP.

By all means, get Civ2MPG. The gameplay and simplicity just cannot be beat. It also includes some great scenarios that give it that "10 games in 1" feel.
I keep visiting the CTP2 forum with the hope that some good reports will encourage me to buy it. I think tonight may be the last straw. Apparently, someone experimented with their game and deleted all their units with the exception of some spys and diplomats. Tragically, the CTP2 AI engine STILL could not mount a good attack. This sounds like a disgrace to the Civ series.
Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on there. My hope is that you will not let the other civ-type games be your guide. I played them all to some degree except CTP2 and none of them, IMOHO, match up to Civ2MPG.

Get civ2 if you wanna get a headstart on civ3. Meaning if you're competitive and want to use as little time as possible getting good at civ3.
