Civ 4 is great because it eliminates a majority of the non-useful repetitive tasks that plagued the first three making the games infinitely less tedious. AND they got rid of corruption. Awesome.
Civ 4 is great because it really does create a lot of potential strategies, moreso than the first three. Specialist v Town economies. Hell you can have a trade economy. I want to try an espionage economy - only getting techs through espionage. Warfare is a lot better in C4 as well (Civ3 was just super bombard if I remember correctly).

I also want to try a one city challenge.

Every game I have ever played I have gotten bored of after a month, and when I do, I go back to playing Civ. If it weren't for Civ I probably wouldn't even play video games. It hurts to think about all of the crap I would have accomplished had I not played one more turn.
