Civ 5 means infecting my computer with Steam, so I'd say it's not worth it. I hang out on another board (civfanatics), and a bunch of people there have tried Civ 5 and didn't like it -- they got bored with it really quickly. The "one unit per hex" was supposed to be a big deal for the game, but from what I've heard, they screwed that up for the AI.
I'm generally a big fan of the Civ series -- just finished playing some Civ 3 tonight. I'd move on and give Civ 4 a try, but my computer can't handle the graphics requirements.
