OK, with all this Civ talk, I need a strategy game recommendation :P

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman", Modern; text-align: left; '>I kinda suck at the Civ type games, but I like playing them. Any recommendations for a cheap PC game?
I was looking at Railroad Tycoon 2, Rollercoaster T, etc, and Alpha Centauri</div>

[Insane Cultist Edge]

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I got Alpha Centauri very cheap, it's got a lot of new stuff added that's interesting, but it's basicly an Advanced Civilization 2 with unfamiliar technologies and units</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Rollercoaster Tycoon by far. Very immersive like Civ2 without too much relance on strategy. Just basic space planning and saving money for better attractions. Still addictive.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>BTW, Railroad Tycoon is a perfect example of micro-management. Good luck.</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I'll second that notion. Very cool, and longer-lasting than most "modern human life" simulation games.</div>

[Red Eye]

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Yes. RCT is a very good and very addicting game... just be careful with your coasters.... the people are wusses.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Yeah....I made the super ultimate roller coaster - and not one got on. With 6 sky high plunges, 4 loops, 3 turn swirls taking up most of the park, I broke the bank. Damn!</div>
