I have been a long time fan of the civ games. I have to say this one is my favorite. I play alot of multiplayer and the game works great. While its not perfect it fixes and adds some cool things the previous games had lacked. It has more depth with the ability to create districts in your cities and the option to prioritize or stop food, money, production, faith, and culture.
The leaders and thier abilities I feel are well thought out and I am eager to play with each one. So far Montezuma is my fav.

For what the game comes with its already great and i forsee me playing this well into the future. Furthermore it makes me smile to know that there is still a bunch of content yet to be released. I highly recommend this game.
