A massive shift in the franchise, as the map shifts from a square based grid to hexagonal. The ramifications of this for unit management and military tactics are incredible, vastly improving upon Civ IV's relatively monotonous combat.

However, serious missteps in city/empire management do terrible damage to this game, in particular the shift of happiness from a city-based to empire-wide status. Overall, while this game was a much-needed refresh on the Civilization formula, it's missteps place it short of its predecessor
