A game worth waiting for ! CIV IV is a good game, which had inherited the best of its predecessor, but is it sufficient?

Maybe you, youngsters, don't remember when CIV I first appear. I had that old gray thing animated by a faithfull 486DX and a VGA card, when suddenly a shooting star appear and answered to my wishes. Sid Meier had listened to players prayers. And there came CIV 1. A really addictive game that became a myth.
Today we have the 4th opus. Let's make it clear : CIV 4 is a great game, ... for newbies. Still addictive, it has inherited of the gameplay of its predecessors and the graphical capabilities are, of course, in line with todays capabilities of the (best) graphic cards. But what else ?
Well, eh , well, nothing really new in fact. Same goals, same gameplay, only minor detail changes. In fact, everything is still the same, even the feeling to be a godlike creature ruling a bunch of people, and that is really worth the price, but yet, I am finally a bit disapointed in the lack of imagination.
