Strategy in Civ 5 is quite different - no stacking units, which creates a way different element. You have to have battle lines, and use artillery/archers to wear down cities.
Also a good navy is essential if you're on an island. With Vision + Movement, you can easily defend against someone who just sends units to die over water.
Gotta say though, I like it.
Resources play a way bigger factor. I played continents - I had the largest one, and ended up having 1 oil resource, 0 uranium, and 1 coal resource. I was about 200 years ahead of everyone else, but I wanted to nuke the **** out of someone.
There were only 2 Uranium spots on the map, both beside the enemies capital.
If you ally up with the city states, you can get massive food bonuses, specialize your capital/cities. Or grow super fast.
