Civ 5 expands on Civ Revolutions not Civ 4 and the hexes change everything. A more fantasy TBS Civilization.

Essentially they kept the fast gameplay of Civ Revolutions and tossed out the slowness of Civ 4. There is less units, less techs, less cities. You build around 4 cities before you meet your neighbour's borders.
So why do I like this game?
Because I come from Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders and Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy.
If you can infer from the titles of the above games, they are fantasy.

Civilization 5 borrows its fun concepts from these games. The hexagonal combat and one unit per hex is the real killer.
Each battle is played out like a battle in Fantasy Wars, with tactical positioning of archers, soldiers and catapults.

ANd if you don't beleive me that Civilization 5 is fantasy, how do archers shoot across an ocean? THey have a range ability to shoot one tile.

Since I gave Fantasy Wars a 10/10, and it was released 4 years ago. I give Civlization a 9/10. A 10/10 if they gave me dragons and magic :)))
