Do. Not. Like

Graphics aren't cartoony enough. Preferred Civ IV. IV also made seeing resources easier. Maybe I should turn resolution down? It looks tioo much like a real map rather than graphics.

City states are a cool idea. Not being able to stack units sucks. Not being able to stack workers sucks.

Love social policies. Great idea.

Economy seems a lot easier than before.

Do not like culture expansion one-hex at a time rather than entire-ring.

Combat and combat animations are cool.

I didnt like so much at first but its growing on me. Once you get theology the culture expansion happens more quickly. I still havent really got past just playing around yet but just had first major war to destroy another civ. I like how its not so easy to build up a mass stack and attack... it makes for a more protracted battle/ war of attrition.

True... but cities fall wayyy too easily... because you can't stack defensive units.
If the city's within a couple hexes of the border, you can stage a surprise attack, use archers/catapults to decimate anything between you and them, and have 3-move cavalry units on their doorstep immediately... playing at the 3rd-from-lowest difficulty (e.g. pretty easy) i found I could get in and take cities before reinforcements arrived.

I think being able to garrison multiple units would make the game a lot better.

I dont mind that, you can make so much more money than previous games.

There are a few balance issues, The greeks just offered me 5 of their 8 cities for peace... plus luxuries and a whole lot more. Even as puppet states I couldn't keep them due to unhappiness.

It also skips to the next unit too quickly I have accidentally sent the wrong units a few times.

Enjoying it but I hope they will patch some issues soon.
