SC2K is the best.  Alpha Centauri is fun, buy the graphics are...weird, and it takes a few days to get used to the rules(read the manual, it's you're friend, though it's almost 200 pages long)

MoM is probably the most fun though since it has both city building and destroying.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Tropico! You play as a ruler of a Banana Republic. You can choose to be a communist overlord, or an installed CIA spy, or even an ex-pop star. Really quite fun, especially when you turn up the political climate. Those armed rebels are everywhere... :nervous:

There's also the sequel, Tropico 2, where you play as a Pirate King. It's much the same thing only you can send out a pirate ship to capture loot or raid settlements. I found it a bit harder to keep all the pirates happy. Never had enough wenches. :p

Say, has anyone here ever played/heard of Afterlife? It's a Sim game where you rule over Heaven and Hell and have to build Rewards and Punishments for your world's souls.

You could just play Rome : Total War and autoresolve all the battles if you're a dumbass

Galactic Corpor... erm Civilizations, it's a nice game...
A bit more abstract than the average sim but halfway between Pax Imperia and MOO3
