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.
