Especailly the Roman and Alexander the Great ones. I enjoyed those especially when you moved up the scale of difficulty. <BR/><BR/>The Cossack games have an ability to set up units that move as a group in formations and stuff. That is pretty cool too.<BR/><BR/>The time I used to waste playing while waiting for the returns to print I now waste blogging. hee hee.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-25345398873937150762008-07-16T18:38:00.000-07:002008-07-16T18:38:00.000-07:00Well, honestly, except for Civ 3, I tend to play a...Well, honestly, except for Civ 3, I tend to play at low enough levels where you don't have to manage the complexity much. There was a point in Civ 3 where I could have gone to the higher levels but the trade-off between the management and the reward felt too much like work. <BR/><BR/>I'm liked Empire Earth but thought AoE was tedious. Go figger. Of that genre, I preferred Seven Kingdoms. Of RTSes in general, I love Dungeon Keeper.<BR/><BR/>Don't have much time to play lately, unfortunately.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-27767937066208991292008-07-16T12:35:00.000-07:002008-07-16T12:35:00.000-07:00I tried that game but I just couldn't get into it....I tried that game but I just couldn't get into it. Sid Meir's games just got overly complicated for me. I enjoy Empire Earth and Age of Empires as mindless entertainment. But the more bells and whistles the less fun it seems. At least to me. Meir's Civil War games are a lot more fun in theory than they are playing. The stream I seem to enjoy most is the Cossack's series. That seems to play a lot better since you can form units and stuff. I think the American Experiance one is paticularly good. But I am not as big a game expert as you are, just as I am not in your leauge as a movie afficiando. I just know what I like.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.com
