the game I've played the most is Civ4, Caveman2Cosmos mod
For me it was the Earth 1000 AD scenario (Beyond the Sword version) I played the most
I liked playing with a real map and civilisations that were actually more or less contemporary to each other
I certainly like true start location Earth maps, but I don't care about contemporary civs. I'm still playing, in 2023. Have a game going right now as Germany, and I'm far in the lead score wise (though Japan has almost as many cities), but I'm WAY behind in tech over the other top guys. Also I have a huge criminal problem caused by my many enemies filling my cities with criminals.
