What's the best game out there that meets my description for the computer?

Well if you want to build houses you can try "Simcity 4" or "Simcity Socities (Newer than Simcity 4)" in these two games you will be building a city and getting taxes from your people the main thing you have to do in these games is to get a stable economy unlike The Sims, in Simcity you dont control the people and you dont tell the people what to do. For games related to history: Age of Empires Series (This game is situated in the time of Romans and Greeks you have to build civilizations and fight wars) Ceaser Series (Same as age of empires) Red Alert 2 and 3 (These games are situated in World War 2 era in these games you will build an army and your main objective is to destroy enemy You can also choose sides There are two sides Allieds and Soviets both have different types of Armies) Command & Conquer Series (Same as Red Alert) World in Conflict (Almost same as Red Alert but with much better Graphics) Medal of Honor Series (A first person shooter game situated in WWII) Call of duty Series (A first person shooter game situated in WWII)

Go buy the COMMANDOS series from Eidos. You can control up to 7 special Commandos to finish each mission. Very very good game for me.
