Guys I wanna thank you for your post i went out and got a few games that were mentioned.(take command, EUIII, Alpha Centari, and Hearts of Iron 2) Spent 69.72$ on all of them EUIII was only 20$ at game store. Well anyways i cleaned my gaming closet out(Just a box with old games), and i found some games that weren't mentioned and i thought i'd throw my two cents in for this:

1. Space Empires V or SE:V
2. Age of Wonders
3. Civ 1(Can't beat the OG)
4. Stronghold
5. And last but not least(one of my favorite games though not entirely strategy)
Exile I, II, III
