I have played both games now and there is no comparison. Capitalism 2 is the best micromanaging/empire building game there is. It has no need for patches and costs only $20. Anyways i think there are a LOT of really really good things that games like Civ could "borrow".
1. No matter how big you are your just a few quick steps from death if you make the wrong choices.
2. There is no one path to victory. You can go the retailing path, realistate market, or stock market. You can buy large chunks of your enemy's corperation and even take them over. I think civ could really borrow from this idea.. IE trade between empires is how you generate the most gold. Also for things like raw materials, ie coal every location has a quality, quanity and reserve size associated with it and when you mine it or sell it you can see it decrease.
3. Its a real time strategy game that actually works! You can play it multiplayer and if you don't micromanage it doesn't have that much of a over all effect. You just pick a route of playing that doesn't require micromanaging. oh ya and the stats screens are incredable!
