I'm going to say something quite silly here. True for me, but still silly. The following then is opinion, not fact
I do not like CIV 2.
There. I've said it. I think CIV 1 is a much better, more fun and streamlined game. CIV 3 is slightly better, but I still don't like it as much as part 1. First part I liked better than CIV 1 for real was part 4.
