SimCity is a great game...
Don't know about SimEarth or SimAnt.

But, you could have a look at UTOPIA: you have to make a colony
prosperous and people satisfied -- as in SimCity.
But, there are enemies you have to resist at and eventually defeat.
So you have to choose between building comfort installations or
military labs & factories...
I like this game (Utopia) as much as SimCity.
(This is a purely personal opinion...).
