Now that Civ 5 will be coming out at the end of the year, it's time to take a temperature on Civ 4 and its remaining time in the gaming community.
Naturally, all new games go through a period of finding defects, brainstorming solutions, and waiting for the patches. Fortunately, Civ 4 has gone through this long process...although it's not a perfect game, it has overcome the vast majority of its intial flaws.
Anyone in their right mind would reckon that Civ 5 would go through the same thing, and in this aspect the old game has an advantage over the new one. On the other hand, there will be many new concepts and features in the new game that will be worth exploring, but is this better done earlier or later?
