Civ3 also had spearmen. Clearly they are the same game with better graphics.

I loved smax and colonization, cIv3 was definitely a downer for me.
the one fall back about civ 4 is that it made civ2 and smax all unplayable for me. I just keep thinking where are the cool stuff that I miss from civ 4....
Think about it.. I can still easily play a game of moo2 even though moo3 is out... purely because moo3 was so awful..
Interestingly colonization still has a pull factor for me. I would really love sid to do an update....
Another great example of this is sid's pirate games and railroad tychoon games. I can't pick up the originals anymore!Come visit the SMAC Mod

I love Civ 4 of course, but I can not see myself totally abandoning SMAX and Colonization. The flavour of those games makes them something unique. And there is the nostalgia factor too, I guess.
Still - Civ 4 is a great leap forward for the 4X genre.

I give Civ4 a rating of -1 as I can not get it to work on my abaccus.
But seriously, scripting made Civ2 better than Civ3.
But a programmer can now do that in Civ4 and much much more. So Civ4 is better."What if somebody gave a war and nobody came?" Allen Ginsberg

I think that civ3 was a step back from smac and civ 4 is still closer to smac. There are still loads of things missing from civ4 that smac had...
interludes, throne room, story based mini plots. a unit construction workshop. Better diplomacy and better un council.
Just because something is newer doens't mean its better.Come visit the SMAC Mod
