Never played the Civ series before, but I'm totally into strategy games. Recently got 200 hours into Pennon and Battle and kinda burned out now. The Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era which I'm hyped for isn't out yet, and there's nothing else in the strategy genre grabbing me. Was about to jump into Civ 7 but saw the mixed reviews... ugh.
What about 4?
Never played it myself, but goddamn is that Baba Yetu song awesome. It’s been on my playlist for many years.
4 is the best "old" civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.
Civ4 is the one I still play. I like my stacks of doom and could never get into the hexagons and no stacking units of later games.
