But the mods that are worth looking at can be counted on a hand or two.

Civ3 gave me nightmares. Literally, dark depressing horrifying nightmares. I still cannot play it to this day or even think about it without being filled with complete dispair.

Civilization 3 is decent if you have nothing else to do. But Civilzation 4 is better, by far.

True 3D! Whooooooooo! And decent AIs...

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.

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.

Alpha Centauri runs fine on dual-core machines. Just ignore the not-compatable box; it does that on all my machines, and they all play it fine.

If you do have problems, add
[PREFERENCES]
ForceOldVoxelAlgorithm=1

to the bottom of your alpha centauri.ini file.

Dosbox won't work because AC is a Windows game, Fyron.
