Episode 39 - Retro Atari, Weird Worlds and Civilization II
I'm sure it wont be hard to get a good discussion going on about Civ2.
I remember one time I was allied with the only country left in the game. It was after the game ended, so whatever. I built a zillion fanatics and put one on every space of the map that belonged to them. Then I spent one turn declaring war and tearing up all their mining and irrigation and such. I didn't even have to attack because they all starved to death. The fanatics contained most of their military counter-attack and my cities were well defended. I think it was funny anyway.

Regarding Civ 4, as a long time Civ fan (ten years and counting), I can absolutely recommend it. It's got something that Civ 3 lacked - I can't put my finger on it exactly, but whatever it is, it's great.
