Buy either SMAC, or if you prefer more earthly empires; Europa Universalis. Particularly the latter is a fine game while waiting for Civ-3.

Test of Time is no real sequel, itīs more a graphics update, unfortunately with ugly terrain gfx  However, it has some nice features for scenario builders. CTP1 and 2 are nice, but full of bugs, and not as addictive as good old civ2  ------------------

Let's see...... Test of Time was just bad. Call to Power 1+2 weren't sequels (and they were bad) and SMAC is really completely different from Civ in a lot of ways. Try out the SMAC demo to see if you like it first. If you get REALLY desperate, try CTP2, but only if you can get it CHEAP.------------------

Do you want to choose the best game here are my opinions. But you have to be aware that there isnt a game as involving as civ2 among turn-baseds games.SMAC - Very good game although you have to like sci-fi and understand the future techtree. I recomend. If you prefer a Earthly game i recomend one of the CTP's series.
If you buy CTP1 you gotta be ready to get a lot of mods. The game is too buggy and it became only playable after getting the 1.2 patch, the Celestial Dawn's mod (and all of its complements: CD's graphics and the 1.5 CD's Combo).
On the other side i fully recommend CTP2. I think it is a very good competitor of civ2. Despite minor changes made from its original version and the really ugly (i would say visual pollution) tile improvment of the Shopping Mall.
For both CTPs games i recommend the apolyton World map 28 and 24 civs I never played Europa Universalis |
