Yeah, I always enjoyed Tiller's old Talonsoft titles - all of his Civil War battles were well done.
My PC strategy gaming obsession started with Railroad Tycoon (which I think came out before Civilization? I may be wrong there) and Civilization. I really loved turn-based strategy, and was pretty disappointed with turn-based PC strategy games were largely abandoned in favor of real-time strategy. I put my time in with Europa Universalis and still enjoyed it, but it was never quite the same for me. Fortunately, Civilization continued to evolve - though my fondest memories are still of the first two Civ games. But maybe there's also an element of pining for my lost youth in there, too.
