I am one of the few over the years who never enjoyed the Civ games
even though I tried them numerous times.

But, since I'm a geek, I had to buy the game yesterday and tried it
last night.

I do like:

The new graphics engine (I'm a wargamer so that usually doesn't matter
much to me)
Less cities (I never liked the build city after city after city in the
other Civs)
City borders keeping out other civs (like this quite a bit)
Possibly quicker games (I read someone complaining that you can finish
a game in 8 hours...and he was upset about that.  Since I like to play
strategy games over and over trying different ideas, shorter games are
favorable to me.  I like Pac War but wish you could finish a game in,
at most, a month)

Hehe - Pacific War - a genuine Real Time Strategy game.
