I mostly played 2. It was simpler and had a lot of action. Later games became more tedious, I didn't think the advancements in diplomacy and other stuff were good enough to displace that.

On the other hand I never really wanted the games to end. Whenever I would get close to the end I would start playing in a way to delay the end.

There were pretty fantastic mods for 2. There was a Star Wars-themed one and that was the first time I realized a large empire could have a civil war.

However, my favorite one was an imagined continuation of the game in a different planet.
