Doomsday Machine
I finished all but WW2 and Napoleonic (i don't like War on Pacific so much) and I just started playing napoelonic era with Hungary (i am hungarian 
).
1. The "best of" till now is definitely Rise of Rome if played as Romans. I didn't have to burn Carthage down as it was in history, cuz it is actually quite near rome so it has low(er) corruption
The persians are too strong though, and most of the time (i played twice) they roll over Greece which is ... weird. And speed of Roman Legionnares is not so hampering if you put them into armies and chose your campaign wisely (i held off the barbarian tribes with outright bribery and took carthage and spain, then moved with *all* my force to wipe out the barbarian states, and turned south via the Anquincum road (Budapest today) to Greece and stopped on the beach of (later) Constantinople.
2. Napoleonic era. I am just starting it but i can see it has a huge potential.
3. Age of Discovery. Cute resurrection of Sid Meier's "Colonization" Stupid stuff with Africa though. You get a bunch of goodies with those ivory, gold and diamonds located in africa. And conquistadors are far too strong on this map.
4. Middle ages. Tough map to play, tough to win. Not so much fun but is historically correct. Took England, pumped out 50 knights, signed a RoP with castille, wiped the muslims off the Iberian peninsula, built a forbidden palace (inquisition) wiped out the northafrican arabs, and moved along the old roman road to Alexandria via ships. Took out all cities till jerusalem (burned them down), burned down All core cities around Jerusalem, pumped the grail in :LOL: and destroyed the Castillans at the same time. VP victory
5. Mesoamerica. Fast map. Incas are just too strong (excellent and much room to expand at start). Pumped out cities at 3-tile distance and got a domination victory. Silent hunters RULE!
6. Sword of the Shogun. Booooring. Units too slow, resources are cool, units are cool, roads to slow, pollution eating me out alive (?!?), my capital has pop of 30 (?!?!?), next one is 24 (?!?). And diplomacy is next to impossible, except if you are Japanese of course. No pics, just some flags with identical colors and weird names, nope, no diplomacy here for me.
6. Mesopotamia. Historically correct, but still boring. Played with Egyptians and once with Carthageans. Easy to win. Either HORDES of food with egypt or HORDES of shields with those "Cedars of Lebanon". And, yes, definitely like the stone critical resource. Very very very historically correct resource for almost all ages. Should be in all Civ3 games. And really good building stone is really hard to find even today.
7. Fall of Rome. Omg omg omg. AI is so dumb (rome). They cant touch you. Once you get to Warlords (i think) the game is over. I just got mad because its not enough to wipe out both roman empires, but you have to take out at least two tribes too (to get enuff VPs). I had no nerves for Domination or Conquest victory. Started as Anglo-saxons. I really want this scen to get playable with Eastern Roman Empire. I'd kick some serious barbarian ass... as they did in history.

and Sword Of Shogun 
This time in order from favorite to least. 
( Imperial Cavalry and Imperial guard rock!:thumbup: ) Goood for Conquering Kingdom of Naples, Dutch, and Portagul earley (Which I did) Then Prussia, Ottoman Empire, and England! 
Advance through tye Tech tree earley to get advanced units to conquer! 
Excelent conquest.
)with napoleonic europe and rise of rome a close second. I found mesopotamia too easy as the sumerians. You just romped through the enemy with the enkidu warriors. Anyone else agree?
