I love heroes of might and magic series, as well as disciples.

Civ 4 is the turn-based daddy. What didn't you like about it, so we can advise you better?

Old x-com games, UFO, TFTD and Apocalypse, best games ever in my opinion. Might struggle to get them working under XP though.

Age of Wonders had me hooked for a while, although Rome Total War is sort of turn based, and one of my all time favourite games

Master Of Orion 3, although its now a bit outdated, but maybe what your looking for

I couldnt get into Civ 4 either, i dont know why. Didnt seem like i had to do anything. Just press enter repeatadly.

You could argue that Star Wars KOTOR is turn based...

Another vote for Disciples II: Dark Prophecy. Loved the series, amazing animation.

Did you try the tutorial?

I found Civ a little challenging to begin with. All the complex city management screens threw me a bit.
I stuck with it though and now it's my favourite game, bordering on an addiction.

On second thought then, maybe you'd be best off leaving it well alone!

I just bought III, I had it years ago and always preferred it over IV.

V looks interesting, very graphical!

Another vote for Rome Total War, kind of a turn based game, with the added rts in battles, although you can simulate them if you want.

Advance wars on the gameboy or ds is the daddy

Galactic Civilizations 2 is being released this week and is ment to be pretty good... also all those football manager games are basicaly turnbased

I actually prefer Master of Orion 2 for its gameplay - MOO3 was overcomplicating things a little. MOO2 and 3 are still pretty games (nothing too fancy, they just work well).

I've also got fond memories of MOO1, though it was outdone in every way by MOO2.

Incubation if you can find a copy, and get a 3dfx wrapper for your graphics card, and actually get it working after all that
