Well been playing Civ4 for a couple of weeks now, and have been playing Civ1-3 for longer than i can remember; however the 1 problem i always have is once i complete a game i just cannot get motivated to start a new one. all because increasing the difficultly simply corresponds to the AI cheating more, not actually getting smarter.
There just does not seem like much of a challenge/fun to a game where once you have mastered it on the medium difficultly levels and can beat the computer 9/10 times, uping it to the top 2 levels just is pointless when it just equals computer cheating ...
Before you all say it, i know the challenges of AI programing, andi am a CTO of a software dev house so know its not easy, however it really ruins Civ for me.
I have tried playing online, which is great, however given the nature/time required to play a good game of Civ it just does not flow very well ....and was a little frustrating having people come/go every 5mins
So unfortunatly until the AI SDK is released, if it ever is, the Civ4 disk is on the shelf collectiing dust while i search for a new game to play on my christmas break ......
