This was one of the first strategy games I ever played, I think I was around 6-7 years old. Immediately fell in love with the setting, gameplay mechanics and overall musical feeling it provided. Of course, since English isn't my native language and I didn't know it that well by that age... Back then I never figured out how to transport resources between islands, leading to situation I never was able to finish last Egypt campaign mission. Every once in a while I started game from beginning, beating game first as Romans, then Asian and lastly get myself stuck with Egyptians. Until couple of years ago I finally managed to finish that deed of mine. Even still to this day, i feel like Settlers 3 is one of the best strategy games ever made, having engraved it's sweet little spot forever into my heart.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
