Sid Meier's Civilization (I prefer civ4)
Out of curiosity, why? I haven't played it mind you
Has a really good mood (RevDCM) that makes the game more dynamic by introducing civil wars, revolutions and the ability of new civilizations to organize out of "barbarians."
Similar mods for other civs always feel less full featured.
Mechanically, I also came to dislike some stuff in later civ games, or at least some stuff "lost it's shine". Like 1 unit per tile.
I kinda thought that the system of combining units in in civ v was a bit of an improvement on the "stacks of doom", all told.
Was combining units an expansion? When I played it was only 1 military unit plus 1 civilian unit per tile (and up to four aerial units iirc).
I thought the tactics could be fun, but I prefer the management aspects of civ and it got kinda exhausting moving large militaries.
Stacks of doom also have big issues tho, ngl.
Different topic: Another mechanic civ4 came kinda close to getting right was corporations (since they theoretically encouraged hogging/expropriating resources far in excess of what your civ needs), but I don't think they quite worked out as well in practice. Not sure if there's a good mod for that.
