This is a great game, much better than civ 4 but also much, much better than civ 6. if you only buy one civ game make it this one. it can get better and isn't perfect, but this is the closest they have come so far and civ 6 does not give us much hope for the future, like they are going the anime-looking super cheap and easy a.i. route to be a tablet/phone game. too bad as this was the best series ever in my opinion. we love civ 5!
