SO I am curious, I want to figure out this microcosmic argument over subjective value judgements -- would you place Civ II or Civ IV higher on the list? And why? Have you played IV? And what about I and III?

Btw, by higher I of course mean 1 being the highest and 100 being the lowest.

Civilization Ranking List:

1) CivII
2) Civ I
3) Civ IV
4) Civ 3

Reasoning: Civ II wins because of the perfect execution of depth, balance, design and playability for the time. Civ 1 gets 2nd due to its innovation but lacks the execution of 2. Civ 4 gets 3rd for sheer excellence and polish, but it lacks the innovation, IMO. Also, I think it drops some just due to the serie's age. I've become used to it, and moreover, by this time the Total War series has surpassed it by including real time battles. That shouldn't hurt it, but in reality it does in my subjective opinion. Civ 3 is last, but that is not a disparagement.
