I should point out for the record that I do not hate the games I listed. In fact I found Dominions II to be a very good game, just the micro-managment did not appeal to me after about an hour of playing. Dominions II is a very good game and one that will provide people with as much replay $$ as SEIV. I still have it on my HD and play it from time to time and am trying to teach my nephews how to play.
For me it might just be that I have not spent enough time playing DomII so please do not think for a second that it is a bad game because it really is not. It is a wonderful game filled with great ideas and involving game play. I am just lame for not playing it enough to get a good feel for it. So just remember its me, not the game. Now go buy Dominions II.
