I have played the civilization series since I got my first PC in 1995. My interest for this series peaked with civ 3 and 4. I was even an active member on Apolyton between 2001-2008. When Civ 5 and Civ 6 got out, I played these games a bit, but never got really hooked. I felt like something was missing, maybe it's the lack of unit stacking or something that I can't point the finger at. For this reason, I replayed Civ 2, Civ 3 and Civ 4 since the beginning of the pandemic. But, playing these games, I remembered why Civ 5 and 6 didn't hooked me :
I was playing Civ 3 last week, I was surprised to see an active community of Civ 3 on Civfanatics and also a great youtuber (suedeciviii). I was sure that I was alone with the feeling that Civ 3 was worth my time in 2022.
So, it's your turn to speak, I have two questions:

- Civ 1,2,3 & 4 feels like an epic journey from a settler to an empire;
- I don't know if I'm right but Civ 3 & 4 are strategically simpler; no district; no religious war (like in 6); no city quest, etc. This translates into the feeling that I have more control over my empire and it is easier to see the outcomes of my choice.
- The feeling of successfully building a Great Wonder is better in 1,2 3 and 4 ;
- Civ 3 & 4 feel more like you drive an imperialistic civilization.

So, it's your turn to speak, I have two questions:
- Why are you playing Civ 3 ?
- And why are you not playing Civ 4, since many people seem to find it even better?
