Speaking of non-graphics oriented games, anyone tried Galactic Civilizations? I bought it over the weekend after mostly because they made the game downloadable and I wanted to support that model. I never understood why online only games made you go to he store and buy the CD. Now I'm addicted though...it's what MOO3 should have been. The level of complexity is a little low, but it's concentration on playability totally makes up for the relative simplicity. It's not Civ3 quality, but very very close.
