Everyone:
... and I must say, I really despise not being able to stack units. Oh, don't get me wrong — I was never a "stacks of doom" sort of fellow, but it sure would be nice to be able to, say, pair a ranged unit with a melee unit so together they take up one less hexagon.
Some other cursory thoughts:
1. I like the fact that cities can defend themselves now.
2. That said, it sucks being able to only station a single military unit in a city.
3. Way too many improvements can be built outside the city proper, leading (in my opinion) to hexagon clutter. I'd rather have everything centered in the city, and viewable on the city screen only.
4. Speaking of hexagons ... hmm, well, I'm old-school, so I prefer the system used in prior Civ releases.
5. The game really despises warfare now, which makes it annoying when you grabe two or three cities of a neighbor who stole tech from you, and you're the one who winds up being labeled a "warmonger."
6. I control the World Congress, so stuff it, Egypt!
7. You denounce me, Austria?! Why, I then denounce thee thrice over!
8. I like how trade, religion and culture are handled. The Celts converted my cities to Catholicism for the longest time. Then I got religious — Taoism, to be specific — converted my cities back, converted some Celtic cities and, in the end, wiped Boadicea off the face of the Earth. Damn woman thought she could turn the Americans (me) into some peacenik civ? Mwhahaha. Her (former) nation now is nothing more than a puppet of America!
9. I still hate barbarians.
10. Sure, Ethiopia, I'll give you 1 fur in exchange for 4 aluminum, 3 coal, open borders and, oh yeah, 7 gold per turn. (Suckers.)
So, yep, after several years' absence from playing Civ, I've plowed back into the game. Strange thing is, Civ V makes me yearn for Civ II.
