I am trying to make an objective list of the differences between the two games of Civ 4 and Civ 5. I am just looking for the differences in game play mechanics. Here is what I have so far. If you can think of anything that I missed, please let me know and I will add it to the list.
I've looked through a couple of other posts and got some ideas, but never really saw a list.
Thanks for the differences that I miss. I've already been able to expand the list some more.
