I'm a Civ newbie. I just found out about Civ maybe a year and a half ago. So me, it's:
Civ 4 Vanilla
Civ 4 BTS
Civ 4 Col.
I have some mixed emotions with Civ 5 coming out as I feel I didn't master Civ 4 the way I wanted to. I pretty much dominate Monarch level.
I will switch to Civ 5 and try and master the game, although I will play a few Civ 4 games as well.

Geez, I would have been playing it on my C64 if it would have run, I was still playing Pools of Radiance on it. It was a rougher time - we do well with our gripes about digital distribution nowadays. At least I'm not wasting 30 minutes loading a tape only to find something didn't load right or typing in pages of code you can't save anymore or having to swap between 5.25 disks (I think Darklands had 14 disks, but that was PC). Me and my 300 baud modem and a massive phone bill and a C64, that was my 80s teendom before Civ.
I played Civ1 at a friends house until 5am and only left when he gave me a set of disks with the (dos version) game. Spies could flip cities with cash and was my favorite way to win the game, glitching rails across the sea.

You've got one of them new-fangled hearing whatchmabobs? I still have my ear trumpet - it's a 100% fidelity lossless technology.

Which is weird because I'm not a heavy player, I seem to be more interested in the modding side of it, CivII opened that world to me.

Those are some of my greatest memories (might be sad, I don't mind hehe). Me and a buddy exploring Civilization 1 not sure what the hell we were doing, but having an absolute blast of a good time! On an A1200 though, but with the AGA version, it became even prettier

You want to hear something stupid? On my first game (CivI), I only had one city and I mined every hill on my land - thinking I was benefiting from it, on top of that, I remained in the stone age and was defeated by tanks that came out of no where. I'll never forget that.

Civ 2 was my favorite, especially for the World War 2 scenario and the nuclear war scenario in CIV 2 MGE, as well as some of the other scenarios like XCOM. If they had Civ 2 on steam I would buy it tommorrow. Lost the CD for it a way back during a move.
Civ 3, I missed the lack of options for improving your tiles. I've always liked improving my cities as much as possible, and 3 threw that away. But for massive wars, Civ 3 was cool.
Civ 4 got me back into the Civ series, although I think Civ 2 will always be my favorite unless Civ 5 blows me away, because Civ 2 was so much fun. I think I played the WW2 scenario a thousand times.
I also have played SMAC, enjoyed it, and tried out CtP2.

Pffft. I didn't say it was my FIRST computer, just the first one I played Civ1 on.
My first computer was an Atari 2600 circa '79. Then ended up with an Intellivision, till in '83 upgrading to the C64.

Heh, I actually started with CivNet (and missed CivI completely; but I'm also comparatively young on the boards here) -> CivII -> CtP -> SMAC/X -> CivIII -> CivIV.Same as Dale, plus CivNet

Memories... especially of Fantastic Worlds in CivII. I missed freedom to mid/edit until I CivIV finally came. Though CtP and SMAC/X kept be busy in the meantime!
Cheers, LT.
