It's very good. I find myself completely losing track of the time when I play, which is pretty much how Civ games are. Graphics are nice, but nothing mind blowing. The hex grid is fantastic. The new combat system is loads better, and the fact that you can't stack units of the same type (so just one military and one worker unit in a tile) really adds to the strategy of battles.
Overall, it is my favorite Civ so far. I thought some of the old ones had too much micro managing with the cities, and that's been streamlined a lot.
As for bugs, I did just run into one. Was at war and was beating the other civ to the point where they made a peace deal where they gave me all but one of their cities. I made them all puppets at first, then annexed a few to get things rolling while razing a few others I thought were unneeded. I got the message saying I need to set up a city with something to produce, but clicking it wouldn't do anything, and all of my non-puppet cities were set to produce something. Couldn't figure out a way around it, and doing a save+reload didn't fix it.
Haven't looked too much into it, but hopefully I can get it fixed. Glad I changed the auto save from 10 turns to 3.
