Sorry to go a little bit off topic, but I feel it's appropriate to ask in this thread. If I fully enjoy Civ IV (including Warlords and BTS) is there any reason at all I should try and play the previous Civs? Do they offer anything different/better than Civ IV, other than the obvious graphical differences?
I played the hell out of Civ2 and have played Civ4 somewhat. Although, I loved Civ2, it's impossible for me to say that it's better because there is always the emotion involved with nostalgia. I suspect that if I had played Civ4 years ago, and only now played Civ2, that the better game would be more obvious.
I do know that many, many people regard Civ4 as the most polished version.
However, I miss the throne room in Civ2. My favorite was to fancy up the room as much as possible, but never upgrade that stone seat that you start with. It just looked so out of place.
Wait...or was that Civ1? Uh-oh...I can't remember.
