Is the single player really that bad? If so, I guess I'd better get Civ 4.

No, it's not that bad. There were good suggestion how to "help" AI a bit in the thread. Mostly, it's just that Dom2 really shines in multiplayer, so single player doesn't compare that favourably.

Do you actually *have* to choose between Dom2 and Civ4? You could get both, but if I'd have to choose my pick would definitely be Dom2. Dom2 lasted for me nearly 2 years, Civ4 - couple of months (it's ok, but there isn't that much depth there).
