I've played Civ1 a lot in my childhood and it was the game that started it all. It has things in common with the other 2 games, MOO and MoM. I can see Microprose trying to have a monopoly on turn based strategy with 1 realistic, 1 fantasy, 1 science fiction. Civ1 thus has cool random events that the other 2 games are known for, it has the simple map system and charm of MoM but... the game is kind of imbalanced. A favored tactic of mine was to rush Musketeers, the earliest I got them was 700 BC. There's not too much reason to play Civ1 anymore, its sequels are better games.
Which is better of MoO and MoM?
In regards to AI: We humans love diversity of options, AIs can't cope with that. That's why MoO's AI is the best, no way any AI can cope with MoM pletora of posibilities.
That said good AI doesn't make the greatest game,
If you think huge ships are the cream, try Alkaris and a nimbus of micro ships.
