It's kindda sad they removed the whole "customize your palace/throne room"-thing, though.
Yeah it is a silly thing but I miss this too.
I used to play Civ 2 until my eyes felt like they wanted to jump out of my head and go on a vacation. Civ 4 didn't give me that same feeling, but overall the only thing I couldn't stand was the resource requirement brought on by an almost needless 3D engine. Even with a decent newish rig the largest maps near the end game make my computer choke.
I also have a feeling that the Strategy section doesn't attract as many people as the General Gaming/RPG/Discussion sections do, so the quality of posters is increased.
