SoE is Wallace's best game (by far, unless I am blanking on something) and Through the Ages is Vlaada's best (though I haven't played Dungeon Lords).
Settlers isn't a Euro anymore? If SoE is a Euro, shouldn't Mare Nostrum be considered one as well (and be on the list)?
On a more serious note, this list needs more brown. How about that one where you are digging and optimizing, or that other one where you are building and optimizing? I had heard those were both quite good. Oh, what about that one where you are impressing the duke/king/pope? Didn't that one win a Spiel type award. Really, you can't go wrong with any of the Spiel winners.
See, the brown in Mare Nostrom is lively & coquettish, whereas Struggle of Empires is a bland, bled-dry sort of brown (and don't forget the pastels), therefore it is a Euro and Mare Nostrum is not.
