im pretty sure it was the former governor of texas' favorite game as well, in fact i just played him last weekend and pwned him with the IOR.
oh, and:
>> "Age of Empires III," a recent release from Dallas-based developer Ensemble Studios, is a real-time strategy game for the computer. Amidst beautiful 3-D graphics and picturesque sceneries, players relive the European colonization of the Americas. Starting with a discovery phase, players explore and map out new territories and continue until they've created new civilizations with working governments and industrial capabilities. <<they really make it sounds like its kind of a simcity game, dont they? no warfare mentioned at all, lol. but i guess that would not be good for a governor to mention a wargame. not good publicity.
