Looking for a new strategy game

So as the title says, I am looking to pick up a strategy game for my PC. I havent played anything strategy wise on my pc since the days of Age Of Empires and the original Civ. I hear Civ 4 is awesome but I dont have the best computer so will it run on a medeocre system? (I have checked, all system requirements are met, only worry is ill mostly be playing on my laptop so graphics card may not handle it, what do you think?)

Or are there any others that you can recommened? Real time or turn based is good with me!

Civ 4 is great if you're into that classic turn-based strategy. If you like that, you might also try Gal Civ 2. A lot of people think it's the best turn-based strategy games ever made, but in my opinion its a little too deep and overwhelming. I also was really into Sins of a Solar Empire last year. I'm not usually into RTS games, but its slightly slower pace combined with 4X elements from games like Civ and GalCiv made it very appealing to me.

None of those games are all that demanding on PCs, so if you meet the minimum requirements you should be good to go.

Civ 4 will run on Dam near any pc its awesome and cheap to. For other  older strategy games you can try war craft 3 and Rome Total war good games that will run on pc's that arent 10 years old.

Galactic Civilizations 2. Screens. It should also run on lower spec machines. $40 with both expansions.

Total Annihilation.

Total Annhilation
Emporer: Battle for Dune
Empire earth 1 and 2
Heroes of might and magic 1-5
Savage moon

I suggest Europa Universalis 3.
