Civ III is my favorite for whatever reason. I think it is the look, nice terrain, and the big points of resources and diplomacy is done better than any other game, heroes and armies are a nice addition as well. With resources you often have to secure a certain resource, and build a road to it or you can not build certain units, Iron is important early on, later rubber and oil becomes important. It is hard to describe but for me it just has a better feel to it.

I loved Call to power II but I found the game boring after awhile. I will give it credit however, it has one of the best intro movies ever, the extra ages, wonders, and units are very nice as well and is better than civ III in that respect. Eco-Rangers(at least I think that is what they were called) are the coolest unit ever. Call to power II is no longer listed on Activision's site.

I have Alpha Century but I could never really get into playing it. The worms were kind of cool but I guess they really replace barbarians.
