This is probably a little peculiar thing to have an opinion about, because in the big scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.... Civ 4 was a perfect game in my opinion, but there was only one thing that always annoyed me, and that was that the culture overlay showed on top of water on the minimap. It didn't look good. You couldn't see the shape of your empire, and after a while you couldn't see the shape of the world. Everything was just colorful blops, like a kids painting. Kind of ruined my whole epic sensation. I hope they give us a more sophisticated minimap in no.5 What can I say, I just love good minimaps
