6. No, never tried it

I'll poke about for a PC or PS3 demo and give it a try. If you have not tried it, check out Rise of Nations/Thrones and Patriots from Big Huge Games... Before they were bought out by 38 Studios... It is a RTS with the depth of TBS. Designed by Brian Reynolds, the same guy that designed SMaC/X. Played on slow speed with max cost/time for discoveries and a Big Huge map size, it plays as epic as any of the Civ games (and follows the same time span).
