[Quintessence]

I am a fan of the Civilization series, but I have merely gotten into the PC branch of it with Civilization IV when I became intrigued with Civilization: Revolutions. Thinking that the PC version would be what this type of game is designed, I bought Civilization IV: Gold and I became engrossed instantly. This is truly my type of game wherein it exemplifies great mechanics for strategy and it is the Holy Grail for all those who love the feeling of being a person in power. The fanbase also does generally well at coding; thus, though the game and its official mods may not suit you, I am sure that, if you search, you will find at least one coder who has exactly what you want in terms of the leaders to play, what you feel that is needed in terms of add-ons such as whether you care for having revolutions within your civilization or not, etc. It has been 4 or so years since Civilization IV was released. What would you want on Civilization V and what would you want improved from its predecessor? Do you want a create-your-own-leader mode? Do you want a create-your-own-civilization mode? Etc.
