Its ok, I like it overall. I don't really like the addition of city states.

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

Only problem is that it's to addictive to go to the next turn everytime.
It generates more dopamine than a slot machine.
Damn great game though.
