To be honest, if it wasn`t for Steam mandatory, I could tolerate all the rest.
Mods fixes all, but even now, steam has made some modders selfish as they refuse to put their Mods anywhere but steam. So the days when Mods were available to all (like for 15 years +) are becoming `Mods available only to those who will vistit Steam works`.
It`s not good because it actually reduces choice of download locations and therby, gaming freedom.

My sentiments in a nutshell and the Civ 4 mods were amazing. They kept me playing the game long after I had enough of vanilla Civ 4.
It's saddening to see how for some reason in modern gaming, form has won over function, now it seems as long as something looks cool or pretty the mechanics can be totally lacking.
Yes, so we got a pretty UI and guess what came with it, increased specs. Cool, but where is the meat, where is the real strategy? I play PC games because they require more thought, more planning then blasting zombies for 30 minutes on a PS3.
If I wanted dumbed down Civ game-play I would play Revolutions, I expected more from a PC game then just another get-rich-quick glam fest. Maybe I should give them more time but I don't see things getting better, just greedier(i.e. dlc), more DRM and in the end less freedom and less fun.
