All I can say is that I expected Civ 4 to grab me right away as previous versions have, it didn't sadly enough.

I dunno the jury is still out on Civ 4. I expected to be immediately impressed, taken away as in previous versions, but I didn't get the reaction I thought I would get. Initially, I am a little disappointed in this version. I am hoping some bugs will be fixed in the patch. I don't like it that we cannot upgrade our military units under Military Advisor. It shows where they are, but you cannot upgrade at once like in previous versions. Also, its very hard for me to see the borders of my country and others. Also, its hard to tell where its OK to place settlers when there are other nations. Those are just initial observations. It really sucks that I have to make this initial observation, but its just facts. Civilization has always been a great franchise, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt and keep playing to see if I like this version.
