Playing Civ V is coloured by the thought that it would be so much better were it closer to Civ IV. It has some nice touches, and some interesting innovations in the Civ games but a lot of the time it misses the swet spots Civ IV seemingly because it wanted to be different to its predecessor. So while Civ V is very good, Civ IV is superb.
