Like almost all people here, i've played every civilization game from the first hour to the release of the next game (including the one that were not made by sid's)
I've been listening to playthrough and reading many opinions. And I must say, i've been reading some fair criticism that I hope firaxis listen to. But in all honesty, there some unfair things going on too.
My first experience of Civ IV was one of unbalance, broken game. At the time, I had a radeon graphic card and the game was flickering and had dificulties running at all. So it's to my great delight that at least, this game work.
Also, I think it's unfair to compare a new game with a game that's been in the making for like 7 years from the first talks to the last mod (maybe more). Not a lot of people seems to remember how crappy the Ai was in civ 4 before BETTER AI. The people who made civ 4 better are forgotten in this release. It's because of people like the ones who made better AI that, in civ 4, Ai are able to use great people or grasp how to invade. I remember full well a civ 4 where the AI wasn't able to invade nothing at all.
So, I think, as a working basis, Civ 5 is better then civ 4. I hope that people will work as much on it then on civ 4. I would love both firaxis and the mod community to work together to make this game a whole lot better.
It was my honest 2 cents
thank you
