Civilization V
DavidGrohl:
I really like and suggest the Total War series. Buy Total War : Rome, it's like $5. If you like that, explore your options. There are also tons of mods for TW: Rome and it's successors that improve graphics, add campaigns, etc. Some are actually better than the developer campaigns.
est:
I am playing Empire TW at the moment and hardly ever playing the battles, turning it into a sort of 4X light. Some battles I'll play though, like when I am defending a fortified city with two squads of home guard troops because people have come out of nowhere and caught me unawares. Then I need them to intelligently man the cannons and all that shit, but mostly simming the battles turns out alright.

Age Of Empires 1 and 2 are fuccin great games. Unit control can be a hassle in big battles in 1, but slowing the game down during fights and up during gathering always works for me. Both have stories completely based on history or archaeology - real battles and real wars, where number 3 is about some knight from Sicily going to America after the fountain of Youth.
look out! Ninjas!:
If you want to play the AoE games, don't go backwards. Either start with 1 or don't play it at all, because simple things like an idle worker search button and being able to queue production of different types of units, not to mention gates, are essential once you've spent more than an hour with them at your disposal.
They're all great though, even 3.

I played AoE 2 a little bit back in the day and really liked it.
Then I discovered Civilization and it all went downhill from there.
