So, anyone up for some games? (Free nub to destroy here.)

OMFG, I have had every Civ game every created, and I am pretty sure all the expansions. The original ironically came with one of the old old old Dell computers we ordered.
The thing that differs between Civilization and other games, is that Civilization is a turn based game, not an RTS. So far, in my opinion and that of my friends and family, Civ II had the best delivery. Civ 4 had potential, with with Warlords it improves a little bit. A lot of the problems my brother and I share are based on how they did things in the past, or how we think they could improve.
My friends play against each other, and they all live in the same apartment. It got hectic after one of my friends demolished another with an unsuspected (obvious) sneak attack.
I have hope for Civ 5, whenever it comes out. Something I would like to see them do is introduce a feature called Intimidation, where having troops on the border or even a large army or you or someone else is apparently superior, will affect that civ in some form or fashion. I.E. They may or may not be more likely to ally against your or with you (kinda in there now). They surrender before you even begin your campaign against them, etc.
I hope to start playing again as soon as I get it for my MAC
