I'm surprisingly similar to you in playstyle, but I've continued to play every entry in the series. The degree to which you can REX (Rapid Early Expansion) was at its most extreme in Civ 2, but you can still create good empires in later games. You just can't literally own the entire map because now that's a victory condition.

But if you liked 2, you might consider trying *one*. You might have had an updated version of 2 or maybe my computer back in the day sucked, but I always felt like 2 was slower, clunkier, and more encumbered than the original. I also, strangely, preferred the graphics of the DOS. The sprites were certainly better than 2, but it was not a more attractive game.
