What about it? What's so bad about 5 that deters you from the game? It has miles better graphics than civ 4, and civ 4's UI looks like a 30 year old game, that's just old.
Sure, the happiness system wasn't great and it forced you to play tall - but that's also a positive point - it made you play tall, which to some - was a new play style considering in both 4 and 6 playing tall wasn't viable.
It also has a modding community, maybe not as passionate as 4's but you'll still find some gems on there.
The giant stacks of doom were fun but tactically speaking, they were pretty bad. You could just spam a crap ton of units and good luck managing that. Can't forget the - you leave the city undefended, it dies rule.
Atleast in 5 & 6 you weren't forced to make crappy units just to defend a city
