Mk Z on Steam
social institutions
i like civ5's policies more though i think it should be more dynamic. e.g. the player would not just buy a policy but also have to maintain it (with some culture per turn). switch on/off; choose exclusive paths in policy trees.. etc
1:2
combat
civ5's combat is much more fun though there are problems of 1upt everybody knows of: traffic jams, carpets of doom. some quartering/mobilization mechanic would be great and also rebase command like for planes or admiral (between ports, railway stations, military bases etc).
1:2
determinism
civ5's gameplay is far less depetdent on the random numbers generator (gp spawn, combat etc)
0:1
diplomacy
many people dislike civ5s diplomacy
but no way i want the return of the dumb automatons from civ4. civ4's diplomacy was too gamey. the player could fool ais like babies. now they are more competitors than roleplayers, some people dont like this but for me its a great improvement.
0:1
tech tree
civ5's tech tree is by far better, as it is a planar graph now. but sadly there are balance issues making the upper part (science buildings) a general priority
i'd prefer civ3's tech tree structure, it was great, combining the merits of the two approaches.
0:1
religion
compared to civ5, civ4's religion was a joke
0:2
assimilation
i kinda miss that. especially those faces w racial features from civ3.
although, culture wars were pretty stupid
1:0
UI
civ5's ui is less functional but its the first time in the series when UI does not look like a business app from 90s.
i also miss the citizen bar from civ3/2 as i stated earlier.
1:1
culture
with a link to policies, great works and stuff, civ5's culture mechanic is no doubt far superior
nothing to miss from civ4 here
0:2
diversity
civ5 is better in this aspect you know
0:1
modding
despite marketing declarations, civ4s modding was easier. code quality was better and the whole data/code structure was better thought out. steam workshop though is a nice addition in civ5.
3:1
overall
civ4: 7 points
civ5: 14 points
so, civ5 is 2x better than civ4
