So, my girlfriend got Civ IV for Christmas but unfortunately she hasn't been able to play much yet as I've been hogging the game. 
It's ok though, we can sit and watch each other play kind of a team effort.
Really enjoying it so far. I'm only 2 games/18 hours in so far but I'm totally addicted. I haven't played a TBS with this kind of addictive feel since Civ II, and to be honest I thought I'd got bored of the genre.
Ok there are some problems. Yes, the interface is really confusing. The manual is pretty useless (but I understand the challenges faced by the writers, my parents are both technical authors). I was also lucky enough to start out at patch 1.52 because I didn't start playing until after Christmas but despite all that it's really addictive.
There's a huge amount to learn as well, at the moment I totally suck so I'm very hopeful about replay value too.
Plus there's still hot seat multiplayer to try.
