Aow and SI are fantastic games, but they are not remotely civlikes. They are wargames first and only.

Anyway one I will heartily recommend that fell under most people's radar: Field of Glory: Empires. Tom Chick had some excellent writeups that sold me on the game. It focuses entirely on classical era Europe/Africa/West Asia - Romans, Egyptians, Celts and so forth. Lotta cool gimmicks that deserve a try.

I'll ask what you recommend for playing Athens in the DLC persia campaign. I've got a game going right now, but only because Argo proposed an alliance with me. And I didn't get a crippling plague on the second turn... I know its just being historical with that but oof. You start at full military flex as far as manpower and money go.
