(Score is boosted from mods)
The first civ game I could really sink my teeth into as a young lad. With hindsight and experience, the base game isn't that good and the game really didn't pop off until the last expansion. The game still has a semiactive modding community, so there's no dearth of content. Alas, the biggest problem is the old game engine slooooooooooowly loading up all of your mods.
