Why, the World Builder is not good enough for you?

No kidding. That's why I build axemen instead of warriors.

That indicates you need to get better at playing the game.

4. Impossible to win over Prince

Some people play the OCC at deity level. YMMV.

5. Awful Customs maps...must regenerate over and over again (Continents that look like giant swastikas -sp).

You read too much into things.

You can make your own.

7. Units - why so few (again, expansion pack rip-off)

As of now, the tech level whizs by at some point in the game so some units become obsolete before you can build them, unless you play a marathon game. The only unit I see missing is an upgraded Worker.

Workers have built-in upgrades as you discover certain techs and Civics.

I realise that, I still want a better Worker unit after, say, Gunpowder.

They get 50% faster after railroads.

I don't understand the complaint about number of Civs. There are a decent amount in my eyes. I mean, sure, they could have spent 3-4 more months creating and testing 4 more Civs, but they had a good number at time of release.

Same thing with units. How many more do you really want? I don't use all the units as it is.

Ok, so the 1.52 patch is out....is the game much better? No, slightly more stable...runs better, even on an old laptop that wouldn't run it before...now it runs...though it takes a long time to load...so what's still wrong?

4. Impossible to win over Prince (Seems ok at Noble - but for a challange you MUST chose - Aggressive AI).
5. Awful Customs maps...must regenerate over and over again (Continents that look like giant swastikas -sp).

8. More to come....

THIS GAME IS A GRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT OVER CIV3 but NOT A BETTER GAME - the AI, stinks....and lets face it that's where the game leap really comes from.

You´re obviously in the minority here. Play something else if you don´t like it...
