Ok, Atrocities and Fyron, it's obvious you don't like CivIII. Of all the incarnations I've played, though, I like this one the best. Marketing ploys and bugs aside, I like the game and the gameplay. Maybe if they ever make a Civ4, it will have the options you like. Maybe not. There was one of the games out there I liked one option, and that was the one where you could build your space station and see the earth from orbit. I want to say that was Call to Power, but I could be confusing it with another Civ game. There have been so many.
Yes you could do that in Call to Power. You could do something similar in Civ 2 Test of Time expansion. It allowed up to 4 maps, layered on top of each other, to exist in one game. It had a fantasy mode where the maps were the surface world, a subterranean world, the cloud layer (for hawkmen races and such), and the sea floor layer. There was also a sci fi mode where one map was the starting planet. The next was the orbit, where there were ancient platforms built by a long gone race. There was then a mars-like planet and a gas giant to travel to. It was extremely fun. Too bad it, and everything else, added in the Test of Time expansion was canned for Civ 3, other than animated units... Stupid egotistical Sid Meier...
