Which is the better one, in comparison?

I'm running into an issue when I press the start button. The screen flickers between aspect ratios while the program is loading graphics, then seems to cancel the application without any error messages being posted. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Did you manage to fix it? if so, how?...

i want to play !!! do you ??

I use to play this game back in the 90's... now is a world between that and what is now.. what do you recommend? I'm just a mid 40's guy that want to have fun from time to time

Since I'm a warmongering prick, civ 5 was always more fun to me, but I remember loving civ 4 before moving to civ 5. Why do you all love civ 4 for?
