The classic PC gaming franchise remains close to its roots.
Are you an old-school PC gamer who feels that they just don't make games like they used to? In a world where game developers often have to cater towards the larger console gaming markets, the classic PC game mentality is a rarity – but Firaxis hasn't forgotten.
With Civilization V, fans of the series, especially those from a PC background, will appreciate what Sid Meier and his team are creating.

That's because you're not old enough to remember the original civilizations. AoE was just a Microsoft clone. CIV forever!

This game has probably broken up more relationships than blue-eyed blondes with large breasts. I remember ignoring my girlfriends (even more than normal) while staying up all night and into the morning, and then having to head to work without sleep. It's amazing how you'd think it was 11:00 PM and then you'd see the Sun rising - if nothing else this game proves time isn't a constant.
AoE, while had nice graphics for its time, is a clickfest. It can not even come close to CIV in strategic depth. (I did like AoE too, but comparing it with Civ, feels like insult to Civ)
Civ 4 isn’t any faster on quad core + 8GB RAM.
Not true. Both Civ and AOE series are very good games. They have different mix of resources gathering and combat but they are both very fun.
On the other hand, I never liked Star Craft that much....
