Wow this game is like crack and I would know. Wasn't expecting to like it. Freaking murders time.

Anyone else play? I'm probably like way fucking behind on this one. Favorite leaders? I'm liking Sejong(Korea) for the science bonuses + I like the dude's style.

v is shit iv is where it's at

I played it for a bit, and got bored of the CPU.  Then I went online and got my ass kicked.

what makes iv better?

They're all good. There are just a lot of changes in Civ V (imo which make it a better game), like the removal of unit stacking, road mechancis, religion, etc. that make it different from Civ IV.

I've been playing the series since Civ III (which I still play from time to time, since there are a LOT of good mods for both Civ IV and Civ V on civfanatics.com), and every game has its strengths and weaknesses.

I personally loved Civ IV, especially with how it dealt with corruption, and the aesthetic pleasures from the whole cottage-hamlet-village-town system (in addition to being a great way to specialize late starting commerce-oriented cities) but I enjoy Civ V just as much, mostly because of the lack of unit stacking, the policy concept, and some of the new civilization traits.

balance, mods (v probably caught up in that regard) and 'better' AI

V has a pretty good balancing mod pack now. It's less hardcore than IV, but I found Deity level interesting enough and enjoyed it more than IV.

I really like multiplayer more than singleplayer. Although Civ V is one of the only games that I've actually played for it's singleplayer gameplay.
