Came to advise this. Its like “baby’s first civ”. Which sounds reductive and like I’m trying to be mean, but its not. It gives you a good intro to the core concepts.
Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.

I think my favorite Civilization game is actually Civilization Revolution. It is a casualized console release, but I feel it has just the right amount of complexity to be a really fun, chill game. Also, I like going for an economic victory in that game.

I think I would have really enjoyed Civ Revolution had I not already played a ton of Civ 4 on which it was based. I just couldn’t get over what was missing.

I think the best modern civ is either IV or V depending on how much you just want to do a military conquest victory.

I’d agree, and I prefer 4 to 5 greatly for that very reason.
