In my opinion, the best civ in the series and therefore one of the best strategy games of all time. Before firaxis became over obsessed with graphics, bells and whistles which add nothing to the game, and in a lot of cases, detract from it. Software developers need to remember the old engineering adage, if it isn't broke, DON'T "FIX" IT!
Some truly good ideas to add to and enhance an absolute classic game, but made nearly unplayable and unenjoyable by simple mistakes like an A.I. that cheats, units that won't attack yours if they're outmatched leading to unwinable battles and so on. It's cheap enough, so make up your own mind, but I'll be sticking to the old version.
