Sorry, but yeah... I still play III and have fallen in love with it... I especially like the conquests editor, so you can get as specific or as vague as you want to... For instance, if you want to go into specifics of say.. Civil War era or beyond, adding in some indian tribes allows more detail to your stuff... We really liked the Shogun conquest mode, and for our own we re-did one with the atlantic ocean, and added atlantis in the center just for fun...
This is a game that will never get too old.
