I can't believe you mention civ III as an example of a game that got combat right. I loved both civ II and civ 4, but civ 3 city combat was such a grind with city walls that it was nearly unplayable for me. You had to have huge armies of artillery or else your invasion force is just going to die bashing themselves against the wall of the city. Infuriating. I liked civ II much better.
