proper, probably not, but hey, it's my judgement to pass. This particular civ game has turned me off simply because it's got a 3 d engine. And that's just me and my judgement of what i will and will not buy.
AI or 3D Engine

Well, I wouldn't plan on buying many games in the future then.

I think a fear many players, mostly myself, have is this. Whenever a game company says they are trying to "attract a larger audience" and "great improved graphics", it often leads to mainstream crap.

The Civ3 AI gets a lot of things right. The point about it that I have always admired the most is that each AI civ plays indepedently. The AI doesn't team up on the player the way it always would in Civ1 and Civ2. That gave Civ3 a better feel (for me) than its predecessors.
I'm sure the Civ4 AI will improve over the Civ3 AI. The real question is by how much? Will it be a little better or a lot better? I suppose it's possible that it could be worse, but I have seen no reason to expect that.
I went and tried Galactic Civilizations last fall, when I heard a lot of hype about its AI. I really hoped I'd find a gem. Well I kind of did in terms of the game (I really liked it) but the AI was not as good as Civ3's, the hype notwithstanding. When I got to where I had the GalCiv AI completely solved, the game ran out of legs for me and I went back to MOO1 for something to be playing while we all sit and wait to see how Civ4 will turn out.
