Do you play with all the expansion packs? Civ IV is a very Deep Game. I believe it is anything but simple. Try the expasion packs and increase or decrease dificulty or Create a map that suits your needs.
I agree that the game is emphatically not simple. But that's not what I said. I said the tactical battles are too simple, given that it has Warlords type of a system where individual units face off one v. one.

And yes, I have all the expansions.

My best friend and I came to the same conclusion. That the game itself was quite good, but combat is just so poorly handled, it ruins the entire experience. I'm looking for an Alpha Centauri II, with combat similar to Dominions, then we'll be talking turkey.
