I missed it the first time around but I really found one quote from Sid to be almost profound:
"we don't have some magical model churning away in the background, dividing a bunch of floating point numbers that would tell you at some point, "Congratulations! You've won or you've lost!"
that is definitley a huge appeal of the civ games for me. The Sim type games have this "magical model" running and I think that is why I never play those sorts of games very long.
