Now that we have had time to soak in Civ4

Personally I choose Civ3, i would choose Civ2 and Civ1 as my 2nd and third choice. Civ4 annoys the hell outta me

I vote Civ4, it seems more strategically balanced and interesting, Civ3 is following close, but for me it's often more autopilot.

It's close between 3 and 4, but I don't play 3 anymore so I'd have to say 4...

Voted Civ3, Civ4 is very annoying.

I like the micromanament in civ3 better.

Voted Civ4, though I'm still not used to the game. The benefits of changing the game engine at last are there : the game is fresh with new ideas, which nicely replace some micromanagement stuff. One thing I didn't like in Civ3 is how all your cities look the same and I had the feeling it was just, well, now I'm thinking of it it becomes obvious, a factory of cities.

In Civ4 cities get colourful, are more different from one another... And anything that stops the exploits of yesterday (either Civ1, Civ2 or Civ3) is good in my book, and Civ4 was built around that idea.

For me it's simple : Civ4 > Civ3 > Civ2 > Civ1. Hence why I'm still playing the game these days.

Agree with grs that mm-ing was more fun in civ3 (for those that get a kick out of it), but overall I think civ4 is better in every aspect (even mm-ing, since few people like that).

For me it's civ 2. I don't know why, but I just liked it better.

I voted civ4 .. mainly because it's more fluid and not as robotic like civ3. In civ3, you always go for republic, you always try for hoovers, you always can trade a ton of techs and play the AI for fools. in civ4 if you can't change your plans you'll die. the graphics and eye-candy aren't that big of a deal to me, but actually prefer civ3 over civ4 in that category because it's simpler.

I've never played 1 or 2.
