Civilization better than Civ 3 or even 2? Hardly.

Yes, Civilization is a classic and, despite it's simplicity, is an enormously huge game that could be playable forever. But even with all the depth of Civ it has nothing on the depth of Civ 3; Civ 3 is Civ to the tenth. Exponential I mean. The diplomacy is huge, fighting is more strategic while still simple, and so much more.

And I know Civ, it's in my heart. It's pretty much the first game besides Mario 1 that I really played and loved. It is classic and was revolutionary without a doubt (which gives it that old nostalgic feeling); but Civ 3 is now king.

As for your main rant, AOE2 (and hopefully Age of Mythology) and WarCraft 3 are proof enough to me that fun games are still being made. And I could list more.
