Then, by your own definition, Master of Magic is clearly a Civ game. So is Warlords III.

No, that's the catch phrase on the box. There's a big difference between the core idea of a game and what is written on the cd case.

Screw that, I've never even played those games. You know very well what I mean.

To be honest, this discussion was so long ago that I don't even remember exactly what we were dicussing. If it had been more current perhaps I could have given you a better reply.
