Damn I miss this game. It is the most addictive game ever created to this date, and with Civilization IV coming out in 5 days, I am excited that it is bringing back several features from Civilization II, which btw was a lot better than Civ III in almost every way. The best concept from Civ III, the concept of Culture, is something desired in Civ II now, when I play it again, but other than that, it still has a replayability that far exceeds Civ III or any other game in general for that matter. If you are looking for unlimited replayability, and addiction, try this classic once more.
Oh, and I loved the council, and all the videos. Too bad the council doesnt return in Civ IV, but atleast the videos are. One thing missing in Civ II that was in Civ I, is the excellent replay feature at the end of the game. Civ II has it, but its graphs are flawed and replay feature very limited in general.
