I ended up going for Civ IV. Just spent 3 hours starting my first game. God, it’s gonna be a time sink!

Thanks, all, for the ideas!

Yay! I won the thread - the end boss was hard 😉😃

If you end up wanting for advice or details, the guides and forums at [CivFanatics](http://www.civfanatics.com/) have always served me well. And yeah, my other schedules mean that if I don’t want to spend a week of evenings on a single campaign of Civ, I end up having to play Quick games. YMMV~

Sins of a Solar Empire…who needs a freaking campaign?? 🙂 If you haven’t picked up MTW II or the expansion there is always that. The new Warhammer 40k expansion is out as well though I haven’t picked that one up yet either.

**CIV IV** ’s expansion pack **Beyond the Sword** is is the most incredible time machine, “It’s 4 AM already?”
