Why did they take out Civil Wars?

[Toasty]

I mean, I really loved those things! A whole new civilization for conquering a big city ^^. And it would be great if you didn't have the cultural thing. I mean, you could even have it for different Civilizations (i.e. Russians civil war vs. Soviets, America vs. Confederacy, France vs. French republic, etc.). I just really miss that aspect of the game, and it has played a major role in history.

e)they did it to spite me
f)they didn't think civs would grow large enough to have a civil war make sense
g)it might be too realistic
h)it might not be realistic enough
i)why have civil wars when you can be over run by corruption?
