I get it and you're not alone.
Civ 4 was my first, and I was the only person I knew at the time that liked Civ 5 better straight away. Gone were death stacks, replaced with a new system of one unit per tile. I thought it was such a good change.
And even better the change from squares to hexes, and I think back at all the wailing and it just seems so silly as hexes are better.
Then , when Civ 6 came out I liked this one better still. So many improvements. But still, there were some missteps, like how Civ 6 AI is terrible at the warfare side, or how World Congress works. They should have just left it like it was in 5. But taken as a whole, it is a big step forward in my view.
Civ 7, which I have yet to play, has taken an even more drastic route with the eras change. Like I said, maybe it's brilliant and I'd love it, but not all that keen at the mo.
I'm playing a Civ 6 run as Abe Lincoln currently. He was added in the leader pass for free. He has a UA that grants a free melee unit every time you complete an industrial building, and that unit has no cost in resources. Really strong.
