Sid Meier's Civilization V.  Thing's getting pretty hot.  Seems like 
there is reason to go back to Civ IV even though 2K didn't prepare 
achievements for it.  Gonna have a few games of Civ IV and see what's 
necessary to keep it running smoothly.  For reference, this is the last 
Civilization that used squares.  Civ V and VI both used hexagons for 
position.  I think Civ IV also allows stacked military units.
