I haven't played much Civilization IV so far, when compared to the previous incarnations anyway. And that's a good thing. Not because the game is bad, far from it, but simply because everytime I fire up a Civilization game, it'll litteraly consume days of my life at a time. This isn't such a good thing when you have other things to do. I'm actually fairly proud I didn't spend 5 days in a row playing Civilization IV during spring break.
Still, for the few games I've played, I've found it to be harder than before. That's mostly because I tend to play with "Conquest" being the only victory option enabled and it seems harder to take over the world by force now. Not only have they removed tactical nukes, one of my favorite toys in Civ3, but tanks also seem to be less effective now. Plus I seem to have trouble teching up as fast as before, and you can't completely eliminate unhappiness due to war. In the end it makes my usual "nuclear blitzkrieg" more challenging. And I just hate those gunships that keep blowing up my tanks!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
