Is there a better 4X game than Civ IV: BTS? I don't think so.

Well, Sid Meier's Civilization 5 is the next in the series, and takes all the ideas from 4, but improves upon them, to give you a superior gaming product.

Lets first put this out of the way: hexagons > squares

Instead of stacking units, there should just be more hexagons.

Call to power got stacks right. You put 5 tanks and 4 artilleries behind them, tanks would tank damage, artillery would rain fire on enemies. ... Or you'd just eco ranger everything.

Yeah, like that. CTP was a glorious game for its time, there are still things in there that sid meier civilization games need, IMO. Except corporate branches. Everyone hates corporate branches.

Call to power had some glaring issues with it, with a lot of units being there just to annoy you. Some ideas were really really good, though. Like having public works instead of having to micromanage 50 workers every turn. I also really liked the undersea things. No idea why they removed space from ctp2, but allegedly a lot of people didn't like it for some reason.

I would like civ5 way more if I could spam cities everywhere. A 4x game that doscourages you from spreading across the world like a virus is just not right.

anyone who says that civ5 is good with both expacs is a loving retard and a liar. the expacs add nothing except some more arbitrary buckets to fill instead of fixing any of the core game mechanics
