I haven't played since the original version came out, so i'm not sure what the game is like after the two expansions.
My question in the title is what annoyed me the most about the release version of Civ5. My general opinion after a few games was that in order for them to make the 1 UPT idea work they went out of their way to cripple production and viable empire size to keep players from being able to field large armies due to the AI and map sizes not being able to properly support them.
Which for me, ruined more aspects of the game than just the military side of things. It seemed like it always took forever to get anything useful done and it became a real bore.
I also wasn't too happy about various tile customization options (Workshops, Watermills, Windmills etc.) being changed to buildings. Seemed to me this was another instance of limiting production to support the 1UPT decision. Those improvements were awesome for fine tuning your city tiles.
Just wondering if it is still like this.. or if i should just stick to Civ4?
