I'm currently playing CIV4 BtS which I think is the best game since the original concept - even better than Alpha Centauri.

AoE, hmmm? Maybe it's not obvious but I'm not a fan of RTS (see above). I've played many but stopped when Shogun came out.

EU was Ok, just not my cup of tea.
If you were unsure you should have waited to see what other people said about it. No disrespect.
