I have diablo but never played it. Civilization III is sort of along the lines of Age of Empires. There is a new version out, Civ. IV that I will get but I don't know exactly what it's like. My impression is that it is more similar to AoE than Civ3 was. There are also a couple more AoE expansions.

Maybe you like Age of Empires III then, unless you are not looking for more of the same. 🙂

Warcraft 3 and it's expansion 'the frozen throne'.

Superb gameplay, good storyline and the games are huge.

And traditionally, there also is an expansion pack: Age of Empires III: the Warchief (I think) 🙂.
