With Civ 2 my favorite part was exploring and expanding, and sneaking spies and caravans by sea past the enemy on the oceans.
But with Civ 3 I can do neither.
So I suppose my favorite part is early-middle age wars, before micromanagment of units becomes too tedious.

I enjoy deciding at the begining of the game that I will go for a diplomatic victory in diety, and playing a peaceful, mass trading resources and buying techs, and having a nice 7500+ score.
i like exploration, luxuries search, new land with new ressource( when play agaist fewer ai).
But what i like most is when i got hover dam and factory in about 8 city so i can crank out panzer and bomber in 2 turn, fun for me nightmare for a.i.

I like war. Peace time is the boring in between where you pretend to be friendly with the AI and build up your units, can get tedious sometimes.
The most tedious part of the game is managing workers cause I have so many. Wish there was a way to make them automatic yet not so dumb.

I like bombarding size 18 cities down to 1 pop point in 1 turn.

Just a stupid question:
How many bombers do you need to do that? (Just a guess by experience...)

It was a stack of artillery. I got very lucky on the random numbers too, as there was only about 30 of them in the stack.
Edit: Make that about 45 artillery units, since that would have been before I split the stack.

My favorite part has to be war, specifically sending my super advanced mercenaries into the uninhabited areas in the enemies coast and reaking havoc on their primitive society with my guns, as they block the bullets with wooden shields.

Probably all the answers here are the reason why they made the AI that agressive?

AI more agressive?
Are you saying CIV2 AI was not agressive?
AI, in my opinion is now LESS agressive now... they tend to attack weakers and not strongers, thus attacking less the human player.

Eliminating Mr Stackman's mega-SoDs in one turn ought to rank pretty high in my mind ...
Not exactly fun doing it, but very rewarding once you've done it - reduce Caesar's size 13 city to size 1 with no improvements, using only three Ironclads. Took a few years.
Wiping out the Germans with Babylonian Bowmen.
And never to forget, start a big, freeking nuclear war just before zooming away to Alpha Centauri.

Oh yeah, that had to be one of my top moments of all-time, when Xerxes the StackMan sent his units to slaughter.
Now I'm playing Xerxes, hoping he might pick up a few things on how to use a Stack of Doom. I can always hope.

Gotta be the exploration, early urban planning, and racing to settle land. That is when the game is in doubt. Discovery is always exciting. Wars and peace time are just excuses for me winning the game after I've settled my land.
Deciding to play nice and peacefully, having the AI mistake my huge economy and small though modern army for a pushover, giving him a couple of chances to reform, and then when he re-declares war for the third or fourth time,
STOMPING HIS PATHETIC CULTURE, STATE, AND ARMY INTO THE DIRT AND LEAVING HIM BLEEDING AND CRYING OUT "MAMA, MAMA" AND TURNING HIS ENTIRE POPULATION INTO SLAVE WORKERS.
And then returning to my peaceful developmental ways.
Genocide is MUCH more fun when the victims have it coming.

My favourite moment is the beginning, from the first city up to my first encounter with another civ. Fundations are what I like... That's why I usually quit my games before the end.
