Give it a rest dude.

CivII was great, CivIII sucked. CivIV was great, CivV, well, it's not good.
Seems like i won't buy Civ5. Maybe an expansion and/or a new BetterAI mod can correct it right in the future.
Let me pick one: the social policies. IMO it currently takes to long to pick new policies. By the time i get to mid game i'm still only got some starter policies and as we all know at that point it in honesty really doesnt matter so much anymore from a strategical point of view.
The beginning game feels dreadfully slow because everything takes forever to build.
Ok, I've seen this said several times. Let me provide an example using one of the standard starts (#turns): Scout (6) > Worker (15) > Workboat (4) > Stonehenge (18) (no bonuses). Is that not comparable to Civ4 perhaps even a little faster since you can still grow while building Worker?
but it also takes at least 20 turns to build a library or granary, which you could get up in about 5 turns in Civ 4.
that's all subjective, it all depends on the hammers you're producing. A library in Civ IV could also take 50 turns if you have 1 hammer.
