I've been playing Imperialism II again lately. After tiring of the micromanagement, end-game stall and lack of tactical control offered by the Civ type games, and the simplistic (albeit fun) model used by many of the popular TB tactical titles (HOMM, AOW, etc), I found that I really appreciate the depth, easy management and excellent production values offered by this under-appreciated gem. What a great game, timeless.
