Princes of the Renaissance is an interesting mixture of Wargame and Eurogame. boardgamegeek.com/game/8045 Definitely recommend Euphrat & Tigris (North American title Tigris & Euphrates). 4-player only Mare Nostrum is a slightly simpler Civ-type game. boardgamegeek.com/game/3931 There are the classic Gamemaster series reprinted by Hasbro, Axis&Allies and Samurai Swords. boardgamegeek. com/game/10093 boardgamegeek.com/game/221 Also, if you're lucky enough (or rich enough) to find a copy, there's Conquest of the Empire and Fortress America. two-to-four-player for the latter. boardgamegeek.com/game/97 boardgamegeek.com/game/99 And for that more than silly 'wargame' experience, Kings and Things* boardgamegeek.com/game/58 Also, try browsing through the Geek's search of Civilization games: boardgamegeek.com/catbrowse.php3?id=15 You should definitely take a look at Duel of Ages.
