Colonization was the worst?How can you say that,it was great,I know some have problems with that game,everyone´s entitled to their own opinion,but putting Colonization behind a game as bad as Civ2 hah!
Colonization had atmosphere,it was romantic,it didn´t have the "attack stack destroy all;problem",it had resources which were worth something,the best trade system so far,minor tribes which took part in the game,it was a truely great game,and in my eyes the best Civilization part 2 there ever was.
Civ2 sucked!It was the same game as Civ1 with all the cute things taken out,like Russians in fur coats moaning at one in the Diplomacy screen,troops marching into town,it had nerve racking trade caravans,one would be hated for being too powerful,the only good thing was editable units (which even a n00bie could change),but thats more or less it.
SMAC was a good game....if it had worked,read an article in PC Gamer were it said;one gets the impression one can play a game with a single unit and win;they were right,one really didn´t need a variety of units,the AI was lame,I really wanted to play that game but it was simply no fun,btw I´d appreciate any help in finding multiplayer games,where is a forum?
And Civ3 HAH!...Have no objections

Well except for the combat system which should finally be enhanced,I´d like to see it in Panzer General style,would also like to see a better trade system and that resources are more important,but otherwise it´s a good game.
