I'm kind of looking into picking up a strategy game at some point, but I've always had problems with strategy games for a few reasons. One, I'm so used to playing RPGs, that the lack of substantial "story" and RP elements in most games tend to make me bored pretty quickly. Two, I'm not overly interested in logistics and mechanics and prefer to keep things pretty simple. If it gets too complicated and, yes, "realistic", I will simply find other ways to spend my limited relaxation time.
It has stories (Greek history and myth), it isn't terribly difficult, and it is nowhere near realistic
Addendum: I do have a copy of Civ IV. when I initially installed it, I was annoyed that I couldn't do all the town-developing I could do in the beginning of Caesar 3 and wasn't inclined at the time to give it a shot anyways. I'd be more willing to do so now, but I'm still kind of sad I couldn't do as much town development 
I don't know what that means.
The thing with Master of Olympus, though, is that it was made for Windows 98 (or was it 95?) so you may need a virtual machine to play it now.

Absolutely not.Total War games are turn based and heavily logistic. *NM*

If you're looking at Age of Empires-type games, I recommend Age of Mythology.

Ah, yes. That's another great game, from the same studios that made AoE.

AoM is great fun, but somehow it doesn't have the replayability of AoEII Conquerors, for me...

I'd warn her off Total War, but Starcraft is definitely a go. *NM*

If you liked the Caesar 3 demo so much, the obvious suggestion would be Caesar 3.

Majesty 2? Really? You must have forgotten a lot about the original.
