Instead of complaining about nerfs, I enjoyed the difficulty of relearning how to play the game. It has the dreaded premium DLC, but it doesn't need it.
Civilization III and IV had problems of slow discoveries and impregnable towns. Civ V fixes it all, making it the 3rd best game out of the 10 Civilization games I've played. The pace can be doubled or halved due to custom settings, creating fast (6 hour) games and the brand new "very easy" mode gives us the ol' Sherman Tank versus pikeman battles that I've grown to love. Spies are gone in this version, which I considered a major frustration with the other Civ games (the AI always used them against me.) I never used spies myself. The tiles in this game give tons of resources, making the Capital almost god-like in growth and production, especially in the Medieval Era.
Happiness is "gone." The empire's growth rate is determined by the combined happiness of the empire instead of the individual city. Gone are the days of wading through riots while trying to build conquered cities a nice temple. Culture points are new to this game, and offer awesome ways to play with the game when your country's culture "goes off." Meaning, you get a large permanent science boost, happiness boost, or more! Cities with a lot of Wonders will produce "Great People," which can give you a free technology or Wonder of the World for free! It's a must-buy.
I had a copy of Civ 4 which I could not get working on my new 64 bit Windows 7. So I thought about getting Civ 5.
I read the reviews on civ 5 and decided to give up civilization until they improve the game. I think 2013 they will have civ 6.
In a moment of weakness I bought the game anyway. It to date is the best civilization yet. Civ 5 is great. It uses hex not squares, has tactical elements and interesting ideas like city states. Raw tactics like Musket and Pike formations with artillery support in the back changes the feel of the game in a positive way from simple computer generated outcomes to battles to the ability to think outside the box and outsmart the computer even when behind in numbers.
I used to play these old SPI board games as a kid and Hex and tactics were the center. They are a welcome addition to online gaming and Civ. It is about time.
The one issue I have is it is memory intensive, I think I need to clean my computer fan as it heats up the computer.
Do not listen to the nay sayers. I can recommend Civilization 5.
