Trying to figure out what this version is truly bringing to the table over Civ III. Dissapointing, I feel like I'm just playing the same game again.

Barely.

[Casiella]

Hm. Well, I'd say it offers incremental improvements rather than major revamps, but so far I like:

- Lack of unit stacking
- Hex grid (can't remember what version saw this introduced)
- Culture system changes
- Embarked land units rather than sea transports
- Ranged attacks by cities
- City-states and puppets
- Social policies over government changes
- Achievements (at least in the Steam version)

I could probably come up with a few more, but those come to mind first.

The only thing I'm looking for is an improved diplomacy system, where you can see exactly what the other civs don't like, as in Civ IV, and less random hostilities after 300 turns of peace, just for building a city near another player.

[Casiella]

The diplomacy system is improved tremendously, though perhaps not to the extent I'd like. Perhaps tying in espionage, for example, and more discussion ability.

You haven't experienced a friendly civ suddenly becoming hostile then immediately going to war with you, even after you've traded and had defensive pacts for hundreds of turns?

Anyone know the leader titles for Rationalism and Autocracy branch? >_>

I got the other lot

That has not happened to me in Civ V, nope! They complain about specific things, like my getting too cozy with city states they consider within their sphere of influence, before we have problems.

Generally, I just kick their asses anyway.
