Civ4 is pretty good, try to get the Beyond the Sword expansion/add-on if 
you decide to give it a whirl: a lot of mods require BtS.

Fall from Heaven is a very nice and incredibly complex downloadable mod, 
that changes Civ IV to a fantasy-rpg-strategy game (rpg mostly in the 
advancement of troups, in particular hero troups that can get 
significant extra powers). Bit of a learning curve, mind.

And never mind what Andrew says about Steam stats: who plays Civ IV on 
Stean anyhow. Firstly it's somewhat older, but I dare say most of us 
bought it on CD, in a box ... I got the edition that had all the add-ons 
but BtS is the only one I actually use.
