I've been away from gaming for a long time, but I think maybe it's like what Hobbes said about ice cream: you don't know you don't like ice cream until you've tried every kind.

What ancient city builders OR civilization sims would you recommend? Because I hate cars and love history in equal measure.

Running on Linux Mint with Steam installed.

Edit: Nebuchadnezzar is the winner because it's a modern version of the older games y'all are recommending and because it's exactly those babylonian cities I was hankering for.

Thanks! I added a bunch of stuff to my wishlist.
