OT: Civ 3 Complete Edition or Civ 4?

I like Civ 4. WL is a good add-on, but I have only tried it a couple of times.

I would still be playing SMAC, but it stopped working after some Windoze patch. Also, ever since I built my latest dual core 64 bit machine, it tells me that it is not compatible.

Tried dosbox?

That's easy to fix, you should just need to change a number in the ini. Change ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=0 to ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1 and it should work.

Turn off the dual core for the program, like some do for SE5...?

I've run SMAC, on a WinXp machine, but no dual core...so...

I just started playing CIV 4 again a couple of nights ago. Played a fair bit of CIV 3 (bought the complete edition) and it was fine (certainly not as bad as some would make out) but wouldn't go back after playing the latest.

I have 3 (not the add ons though) and 4 and I would say go with 4, more options, and hopefully more expansions coming.
