If you even ever play a turn-based game and liked it, I would highly recommed Civilation 3.  The game is one of the best of its kind.  Challengeing, fun, and a perfect learning curve.  But this comes with time. At first when I got this game I thought I had bought a poorly game with good graphics.  But after making myself play for hours I came understand why the game has the "annoying" features.  Features like demands, towns turn over to a another empire, ect.
  The games A.I is great, the best I have in a turn base game.  Just has impressive is the trading.  Things you do at start of game will come in play with trading.  Say you wipe out the Rome(for no reason) at 2250 b.c.  Later at 1955 a.d civilations will view you has a hostile empire and not trade.  This is very annoying but make you rethink delcaring war.  Another great bonus is the good graphics and good sound.
  I highly recommed this game.  But if you don't have time it is shoveware.  It takes around 30 hours just to get good.  Other than that it is a great game.
